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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200260 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
275See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000294The following options need to be configured:

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

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

739
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
741
742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
744 this variable to initialize the extra register.
745
746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
747
748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

755 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000756
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere
765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
766
767 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
768 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
809
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
812 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000813
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
816 the "silent" environment variable. See
817 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000818
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200819 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
820 is 0x00.
821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
822 is 0xa0.
823
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000824- Console Baudrate:
825 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
826 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200827 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
828 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000829
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100830- Console Rx buffer length
831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
836 the SMC.
837
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000838- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200847 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000848
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000851
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000852- Safe printf() functions
853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
854 the printf() functions. These are defined in
855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
857 If this option is not given then these functions will
858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
860
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
862 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
863 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866
867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
879
880- Autoboot Command:
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
883 define a command string that is automatically executed
884 when no character is read on the console interface
885 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
886
887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
890 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891
892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 The value of these goes into the environment as
894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200896 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000897
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100898- Bootcount:
899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
913
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000914- Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT
916
917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
938
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
941 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000943
944- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
946 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500949 and augmenting with additional #define's
950 for wanted commands.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000951
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500952 The default command configuration includes all commands
953 except those marked below with a "*".

1063
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001064 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1065 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001067 Other Commands:
1068 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001069
1070 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001071 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001072 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1073 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1074 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1075 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1076 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1077 initial stack and some data.

1080 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1081
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001082- Regular expression support:
1083 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001084 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1085 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1086 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1087 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001088
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001089- Device tree:
1090 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1092 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1093 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1094 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1095 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1096
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001097 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1098 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001099
1100 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1101 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1102 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1103 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1104 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1105 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001106
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001107 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1109 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1110 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1111
1112 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1113
1114 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1115 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1116 still use the individual files if you need something more
1117 exotic.
1118
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001119- Watchdog:
1120 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1121 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001122 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1123 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1124 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1125 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1126 available, then no further board specific code should
1127 be needed to use it.
1128
1129 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1130 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1131 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1132 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001133
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001134- U-Boot Version:
1135 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1136 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1137 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1138 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001139 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1140 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001141
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001142- Real-Time Clock:
1143
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001144 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001145 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1146 following options:
1147
1148 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1149 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001150 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001151 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001155 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001156 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001157 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001158 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001159 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001160 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1161 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001162
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001163 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1164 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1165
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001166- GPIO Support:
1167 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001168
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001169 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1170 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1171 pins supported by a particular chip.
1172
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001173 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1174 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1175
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001176- I/O tracing:
1177 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1178 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1179 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1180 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1181 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1182 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1183 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1184 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1185
1186 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1187 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1188 still continue to operate.
1189
1190 iotrace is enabled
1191 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1192 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1193 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1194 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1195 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1196 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1197
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001198- Timestamp Support:
1199
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001200 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1201 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1202 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001203 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001204
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001205- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1206 Zero or more of the following:
1207 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1208 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1209 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1210 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1211 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1212 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1213 disk/part_efi.c
1214 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001215
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001216 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1217 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001218 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001219
1220- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001221 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1222 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001223
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001224 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1225 be performed by calling the function
1226 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1227 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001228
1229- ATAPI Support:
1230 CONFIG_ATAPI
1231
1232 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1233
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001234- LBA48 Support
1235 CONFIG_LBA48
1236
1237 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher0f602e12009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001238 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001239 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1240 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1241
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001242 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001243 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1244 Default is 32bit.
1245
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001246- SCSI Support:
1247 At the moment only there is only support for the
1248 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1249 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1250
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001251 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1253 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001254 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1255 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001256 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001257
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001258 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1259 SCSI devices found during the last scan.

Kyle Moffett64b94dd2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001263 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1264
1265 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1266 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1267 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1268 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1269
1270 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1271 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1272 example with the "sspi" command.
1273
1274 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1275 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1276 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001277
Andre Schwarz68c2a302008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001278 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC

1589 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1590 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1591 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1592 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1593 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1594
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001595 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1596 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1597 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1598 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1599
1600 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1601 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1602 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1603 sending again an USB request to the device.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001810 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1811
1812 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1813 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1814 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1815 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1816 a per-section basis.
1817
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001818 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1819
1820 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1821 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1822 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1823 is slow.

1832 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1833
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001834- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001835
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001836 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1837 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1838 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001839 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001840 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1841 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1842 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1843 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001844
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001845 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1846
1847 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1848 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001849 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001850 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1851 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1852 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1853 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1854 there is no need to set this option.
1855
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001856 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1857
1858 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1859 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1860 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1861 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1862 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1863 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1864
1865 Example:
1866 setenv splashpos m,m
1867 => image at center of screen
1868
1869 setenv splashpos 30,20
1870 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1871
1872 setenv splashpos -10,m
1873 => vertically centered image
1874 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1875
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001876- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1877
1878 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1879 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1880 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1881
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001882- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1883
1884 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1885 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1886 bmp command.
1887
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001888- Do compresssing for memory range:
1889 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1890
1891 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1892 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1893
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001894- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001895 CONFIG_GZIP
1896
1897 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1898
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001899 CONFIG_BZIP2
1900
1901 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1902 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1903 compressed images are supported.
1904
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001905 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001906 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001907 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001908
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001909 CONFIG_LZMA
1910
1911 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1912 images is included.
1913
1914 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1915 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1916 formula:
1917
1918 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1919
1920 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1921 and Literal pos bits.
1922
1923 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1924 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1925 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1926 a very small buffer.
1927
1928 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1929 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001930 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001931
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001932 CONFIG_LZO
1933
1934 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1935 is included.

1943
1944 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1945
1946 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1947
1948 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001949 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001950
1951 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1952
1953 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1954 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1955 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1956 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1957
1958 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1959
1960 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

1991
1992 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1993 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1994
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001995- Gateway IP address:
1996 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1997
1998 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1999 default router where packets to other networks are
2000 sent to.
2001 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2002
2003- Subnet mask:
2004 CONFIG_NETMASK
2005
2006 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2007 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2008 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2009 forwarded through a router.

David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002012- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2013 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2014
2015 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2016 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002017 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002018 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2019 multicast group.
2020
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002021- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2022 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2023
2024 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2025 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2026 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2027 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2028 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2029 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2030 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2031 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002032 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002033
2034 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2035 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2036 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2037 4th and following
2038 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002057
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002058 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2059 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002060
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002061 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2062 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2063 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2064 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2065 is not available.
2066
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002067 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2068 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2069 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2070 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2071 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2072 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2073 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002074 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002075
2076 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2077 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2078 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002079 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002080 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2081 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002083 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2084
2085 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2086 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2087 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2088 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2089 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2090 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2091 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2092 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2093 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2094 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2095 this delay.
2096
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002097 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2098 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2099 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2100 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2101 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002147- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2148
2149 Several configurations allow to display the current
2150 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2151 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2152 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2153 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2154 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2155 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2156 feature in U-Boot.
2157
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002158 Additional options:
2159
2160 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2161 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2162 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2163 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2164 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2165
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002166 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2167 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2168 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2169 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2170 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2171 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2172
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002173- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2174
2175 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2176 on those systems that support this (optional)
2177 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002355- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002356
2357 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2358 provides the following compelling advantages:
2359
2360 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2361 - approved multibus support
2362 - better i2c mux support
2363
2364 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002365
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002366 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2367 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2368 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002369
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002370 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002371 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002372 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2373 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002374 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002375
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002376 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002377
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002378 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002379 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002380
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002381 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002382 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002383 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002384 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002385
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002386 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002387 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002388 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2389 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2390 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002391
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002392 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2393
2394 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2395 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2396 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2397 commands until the slave device responds.
2398
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002399 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002400
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002401 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002402 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2403 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002404
2405 I2C_INIT
2406
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002407 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002408 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002409
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002410 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002411
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002412 I2C_PORT
2413
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002414 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2415 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2416 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002417
2418 I2C_ACTIVE
2419
2420 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2421 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2422 define can be null.
2423
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002424 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2425
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002426 I2C_TRISTATE
2427
2428 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2429 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2430 define can be null.
2431
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002432 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2433
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002434 I2C_READ
2435
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002436 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2437 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002438
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002439 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2440
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002441 I2C_SDA(bit)
2442
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002443 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2444 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002445
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002446 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002447 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002448 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002449
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002450 I2C_SCL(bit)
2451
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002452 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2453 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002454
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002455 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002456 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002457 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002458
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002459 I2C_DELAY
2460
2461 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2462 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002463 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002464 like:
2465
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002466 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002467
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002468 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2469
2470 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2471 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2472 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2473 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2474
2475 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2476 the generic GPIO functions.
2477
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002478 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002479
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002480 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2481 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2482 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2483 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2484 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2485 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2486 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2487 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002488
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002489 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2490
2491 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2492 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2493 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2494 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2495 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2496 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2497 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2498 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2499
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002500 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2501
2502 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2503 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2504 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2505
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002506 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2507
2508 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002509 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2510 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002511 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2512
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002513 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002514
2515 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002516 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002517 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2518 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002519
2520 e.g.
2521 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002522 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002523
2524 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2525
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002526 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002527 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002528
2529 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2530
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002531 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002532
2533 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2534 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2535
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002536 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002537
2538 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2539 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2540
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002541 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002542
2543 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2544 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2545
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002546 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002547
2548 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2549 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2550 specified DTT device.
2551
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002552 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2553
2554 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2555 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2556 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2557 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2558 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2559 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2560 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002562- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2563
2564 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2565 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2566 D/As on the SACSng board)
2567
Yoshihiro Shimoda65bd9b42011-01-31 16:50:43 +09002568 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2569
2570 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2571 only SH7757 is supported.
2572
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002573 CONFIG_SPI_X
2574
2575 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2576 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2577
2578 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2579
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002580 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2581 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2582 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2583 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2584 defined, the board configuration must define several
2585 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2586 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002587
Ben Warren7efe9272008-01-16 22:37:35 -05002588 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2589
2590 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2591 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2592 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002593 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

2679- Configuration Management:
2680 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2681
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002682 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2683 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002684
2685- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2686
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002687 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2688 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002689 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002690 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2691 protects these variables from casual modification by
2692 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2693 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002694 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002695
2696 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2697 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002698 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002699 these parameters.
2700
2701 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2702 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002703 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002704 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2705 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2706 read-only.]
2707
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002708 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2709 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2710 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2711 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2712
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002713- Protected RAM:
2714 CONFIG_PRAM
2715
2716 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2717 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2718 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2719 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2720 this default value by defining an environment
2721 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2722 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2723 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2724 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2725 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2726 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2727 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2728
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002729 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002730 saveenv
2731
2732 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2733 either, which results in a memory region that will
2734 not be affected by reboots.
2735
2736 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2737 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2738 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2739 following board configurations are known to be
2740 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002746- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2747 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2748 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2749 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2750 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2751 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2752 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2753
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002754- Error Recovery:
2755 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2756
2757 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2758 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2759 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002760 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002761 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2762 useful during development since you can try to debug
2763 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2764
2765 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2766
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002767 This variable defines the number of retries for
2768 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2769 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2770 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002771
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002772 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2773
2774 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2775
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002776 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2777
2778 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2779 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2780 try longer timeout such as
2781 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002785
2786 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2787
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002788 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2789 for the "hush" shell.

2791
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002792 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002793
2794 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2795 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2796 powerful command line syntax like
2797 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2798 constructs ("shell scripts").
2799
2800 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2801 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2802
2803
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002804 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002805
2806 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2807 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2808 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2809
2810 Note:
2811
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002812 In the current implementation, the local variables
2813 space and global environment variables space are
2814 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2815 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2816 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2817 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2818 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002819
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002820 Global environment variables are those you use
2821 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2822 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2823 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002824
2825 To store commands and special characters in a
2826 variable, please use double quotation marks
2827 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2828 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2829 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002838 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2839
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002840 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2841 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002842 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002843
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002844 For example, place something like this in your
2845 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002846
2847 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2848 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2849 "myvar2=value2\0"
2850
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002851 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2852 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2853 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2854 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002855 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002856 You better know what you are doing here.
2857
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002858 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2859 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002860 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002861 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002863 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2864
2865 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2866 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2867 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2868
2869 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2870
2871 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2872 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2873 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2874 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2875 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2876
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002877 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2878
2879 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2880 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2881 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2882
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002883 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2884
2885 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2886 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2887 that so that the environment is not available until
2888 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2889 this is instead controlled by the value of
2890 /config/load-environment.
2891

2894
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002895 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2896 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2897 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002898
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002899- Serial Flash support
2900 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2901
2902 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2903 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2904
2905 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2906 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2907 commands.
2908
2909 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2910 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2911 flash is present on the system.
2912
2913 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2914 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2915 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)

2926 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2927
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302928 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2929
2930 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2931 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2932 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2933
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002934- SystemACE Support:
2935 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2936
2937 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2938 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002939 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002940 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002941
2942 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002943 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002944
2945 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2946 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.

Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002948- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2949 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2950
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002951 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002952 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002953 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002954 number generator is used.
2955
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002956 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2957 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2958 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2959
2960 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002961 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2962 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2963 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2964 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2965 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2966 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2967
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002968- Hashing support:
2969 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2970
2971 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2972 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2973
2974 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2975
2976 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2977 size a little.
2978
2979 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2980 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2981
2982 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2983 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2984
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002985- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2986 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2987 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2988 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2989
2990 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2991 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2992 a boot from specific media.
2993
2994 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2995 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2996 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2997 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2998 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2999
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003000- Signing support:
3001 CONFIG_RSA
3002
3003 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003004 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003005
3006 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3007 option.
3008
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003009- bootcount support:
3010 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3011
3012 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3013 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3014
3015 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3016 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3017 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3018 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3019 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3020 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3021 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3022 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3023 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3024 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3025 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3026 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3027 the bootcounter.
3028 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003031 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3032
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003033 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3034 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3035 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3036 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3037 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3038 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003039
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003040- Detailed boot stage timing
3041 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3042 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3043 of the boot process.
3044
3045 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3046 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3047 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3048 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3049 the limit, recording will stop.
3050
3051 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3052 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3053
3054 Timer summary in microseconds:
3055 Mark Elapsed Stage
3056 0 0 reset
3057 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3058 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3062 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3063 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3064
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003065 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3066 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3067 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3068
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003069 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3070 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3071 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3072 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3073 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3074 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3075 For example:
3076
3077 bootstage {
3078 154 {
3079 name = "board_init_f";
3080 mark = <3575678>;
3081 };
3082 170 {
3083 name = "lcd";
3084 accum = <33482>;
3085 };
3086 };
3087
3088 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3296 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3297 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3298 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3299 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3300 configured panel size.

3599 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003600 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003601 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003602 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003603 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003604 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003605 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3606 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3607 general timer_interrupt().

3610
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003611 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3612 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3613 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003614 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003615 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3616 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3617 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003618
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003619 If there are no modem init strings in the
3620 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3621 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003622 suppressed, though.

3627------------------------------
3628
3629During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3630to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3631before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3632following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3633architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3634typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3686 simple memory test.
3687
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003688- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003690
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003691- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003692 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3693 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3694
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003695- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3696 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003697 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003698 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003699 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3700 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3701 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003702 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003703 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003704 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003705
3706 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3707 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3708 be touched.
3709
3710 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3711 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3712 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3713 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3714 problems.

3724 Cogent motherboard)
3725
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003726- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:

3728
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003729- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003730 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3731 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003732 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003733 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003735- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003736 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3737 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3738 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3739 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003740

3743
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003744- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3745 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3746 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3747 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3748 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3749 space.
3750
3751 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3752 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3753 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3754 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3755 U-Boot relocates itself.
3756
Simon Glass0cc6f5c2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003757 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on sandbox
3758 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3759
Simon Glass1f36da02014-07-10 22:23:29 -06003760 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM at present
3761 but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3762
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003763- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003764 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3765 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003766 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003767 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3768

3773 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003774 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003775 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003776 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003777 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3778 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3779 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

3791 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3792 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3793
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003794- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

3814 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3815
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003816- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003817
3818 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3819 without this option such a download has to be
3820 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3821 copy from RAM to flash.
3822
3823 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3824 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003825 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3826 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003827 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003850 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3851 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3852 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3853 optionally available.
3854
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003855- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3856 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3857 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3858 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3859
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003860- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3861 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3862 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3863 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3864 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3865 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3866 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3867 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3868
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003869- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003870 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3871 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003872 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3873 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003874 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003875 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3876
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003877- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3878
Wolfgang Denk1136f692010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003879 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3880 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3881 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3882 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3883 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3886- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003887 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003888 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3889 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3890 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3891
3892 The format of the list is:
3893 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003894 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]

3897 list = entry[,list]
3898
3899 The type attributes are:
3900 s - String (default)
3901 d - Decimal
3902 x - Hexadecimal
3903 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3904 i - IP address
3905 m - MAC address
3906

3912
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003913 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3914 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3915 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3916
3917 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3918 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3919 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3920 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3921 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3922 ".flags" variable.
3923
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003924- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3925 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3926 access flags.
3927
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003928- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3929 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3930 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3931 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3932 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3933 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3934 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3935 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3936 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3937
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003938- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3939 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3940 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3941 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003943The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3944of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3945following configurations:
3946
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003947- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3948
3949 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3950 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3951
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003952- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003953
3954 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3955
3956 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3957 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3958 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3959 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3960 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3961 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3962 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3963 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3964 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3965 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3966 between U-Boot and the environment.
3967
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003968 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003969
3970 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3971 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3972 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3973 for this sector is given here.
3974
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003975 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003976
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003977 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003978
3979 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3980 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003981 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003982
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003983 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003984
3985 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3986
3987
3988 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3989 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3990 the environment.
3991
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003992 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003993
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003994 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003995 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003996 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3997 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3998
3999 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4000 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4001 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4002 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4003 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4004 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4005 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4006 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4007 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4008
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004009 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4010 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004011
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004012 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004013 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004014 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004015 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004016
4017BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4018source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4019accordingly!
4020
4021
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004022- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004023
4024 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4025 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4026 environment.
4027
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004028 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4029 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004030
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004031 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004032 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4033 can just be read and written to, without any special
4034 provision.
4035
4036BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4037in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004038console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004039U-Boot will hang.
4040
4041Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4042environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4043keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4044to save the current settings.
4045
4046
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004047- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004048
4049 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4050 device and a driver for it.
4051
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004052 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4053 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004054
4055 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4056 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4057
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004058 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004059 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4060 The default address is zero.
4061
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004062 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004063 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4064 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4065 would require six bits.
4066
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004067 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004068 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004069 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004070
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004071 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004072 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4073 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4074
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004075 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004076 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4077 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4078 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4079 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4080 byte chips.
4081
4082 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4083 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4084 in the chip address.
4085
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004086 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004089 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4090 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4091 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4092
4093 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4094 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4095 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4096 EEPROM. For example:
4097
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004098 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004099
4100 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4101 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4119 want to use for the environment.
4120
4121 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4122 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4123
4124 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

4126 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4127
4128 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4129
4130 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4131
4132 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4133
4134 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4135 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4136 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4137 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4138 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4139
4140 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4141 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4142
4143 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4144
4145 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4146
4147 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4148
4149 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4150
4151 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4152
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004153- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4154
4155 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4156 want to use for the local device's environment.
4157
4158 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4160
4161 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4162 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4163 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004164 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004165
4166BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4167"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004168environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4169but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004178
4179 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004180 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4181 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004183 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004184
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004185 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004186 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4187 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004188 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004189 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4190
4191 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4192
4193 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4194 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4195 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4196 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4197 the range to be avoided.
4198
4199 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004200
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004201 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4202 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4203 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4204 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4205 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004206
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004207- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4208
4209 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4210 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4211 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4212
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004213- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4214
4215 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4216 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4217 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4218
4219 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4220
4221 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4222
4223 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4224
4225 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4226 environment in.
4227
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004228 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4229
4230 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4231 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4232 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4233
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004234 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4235 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4236
4237 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4238 when storing the env in UBI.
4239
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004240- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4241 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4242
4243 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4244
4245 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4246
4247 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4248
4249 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4250 be as following:
4251
4252 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4253 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4254 partition table.
4255 - "D:0": device D.
4256 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4257 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4258 table.
4259 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4260 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4261 partition table then means device D.
4262
4263 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4264
4265 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4266 envrionment.
4267
4268 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4269 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4270
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004271- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4272
4273 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4274 environment.
4275
4276 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4277
4278 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4279
4280 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4281
4282 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4283 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4284 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4285
4286 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4287 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4288
4289 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4290 area within the specified MMC device.
4291
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004292 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4293 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4294 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4295 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4296 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4297 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4298 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4299
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004300 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4301 MMC sector boundary.
4302
4303 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4304
4305 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4306 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4307 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4308 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4309
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004310 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4311 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4312
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004313 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4314 an MMC sector boundary.
4315
4316 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4317
4318 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4319 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4320 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4321
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004322- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004323
4324 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4325 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4326 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4327 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4328 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4329 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4330 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4331
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004332Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004333has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004334created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004335until then to read environment variables.
4336
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004337The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4338is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4339with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4340necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4341"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4342have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004343
4344Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4345the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004346use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004348- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004349 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004350
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004351 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004352 also needs to be defined.
4353
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004354- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004355 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004356
Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004357- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4358 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4359 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4360 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4361 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4362 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4363
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004364- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4365 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4366 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4367 to do this.
4368
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004369- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4370 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4371 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4372 present.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004382
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004383 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4384 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4385 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004387- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4388 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4389 PowerPC SOCs.
4390
4391- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4392 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4393 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4394
4395 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4396 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4397
4398- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4399 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4400 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004401 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004402 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4403 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4404 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4405
4406 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4407 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4408
4409- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004410 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4411 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004412 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4413 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4414
4415- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4416 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4417 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4418 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4419
4420- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4421 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4422 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004436 defines the offset of register from address. It
4437 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to

4638
4639- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4640 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004641 to the given FEC; i. e.
4642 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004643 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4644

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004685 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004686 low level initializations (like setting up the memory

4688 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004689
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004690 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4691 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4692 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4693 these initializations itself.

4706 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4707 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4708 previous 4k of the .text section.
4709
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004710- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4711 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4712 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4713 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4714 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4715 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4716 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4717 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4718
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004719- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4720 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4721 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4722 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4723 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4724
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004725- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4726 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4727 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004742Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4743-----------------------------------
4744
4745The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4746loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4747This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4748are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4749within that device.
4750
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004751- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4752 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4753 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4754 is also specified.
4755
4756- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4757 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004758 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4759 is also specified.
4760
4761- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4762 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4763 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4764 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4765 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4766
4767- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4768 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4769 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4770 virtual address in NOR flash.
4771
4772- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4773 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4774 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4775
4776- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4777 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4778 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4779
4780- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4781 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4782 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4783
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004784- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4785 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4786 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004787 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4788 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

J. German Rivera8ff14b72014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004791Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4792---------------------------------------------------------
4793The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4794"firmware".
4795This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4796are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4797within that device.
4798
4799- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4800 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4801
4802- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4803 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4804 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4805 is also specified.
4806
4807- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4808 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4809 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4810 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4811 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4812
4813- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4814 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4815 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4816 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004818Building the Software:
4819======================
4820
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004821Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4822and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4823all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4824(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4825recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4826which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004827
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004828If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4829have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4830you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4831Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4832necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004833
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004834 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4835 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004836
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004837Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4838 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4839 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4840 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4841
4842 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4843
4844 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4845 be executed on computers running Windows.
4846
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004847U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4848sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004849is done by typing:
4850
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004851 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004852
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004853where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004854rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004855
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004856Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4857 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4858 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4859 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004860 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004861
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004862 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004863 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004864
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004865 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004866 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004867
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004868 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004869
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004870
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004871Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4872images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004873
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004874- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4875- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4876- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004877
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004878By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4879in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4880this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4881
48821. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4883
4884 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004885 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004886 make O=/tmp/build all
4887
48882. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4889
4890 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4891 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004892 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004893 make all
4894
4895Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4896variable.
4897
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004898
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004899Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4900for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4901native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004902
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004903
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004904If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4905to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4906steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004907
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049081. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004909 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4910 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049112. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4912 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4913 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
49143. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4915 your board
49163. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4917 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020049184. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049195. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4920 to be installed on your target system.
49216. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4922 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004923
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004924
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004925Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4926==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004927
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004928If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4929or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004930provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4931the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004932official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004933
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004934But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4935cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004936the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4937just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004938for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4939select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4940environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4941you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004942
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004943 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004944
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004945or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004946
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004947 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004948
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004949When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4950U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4951setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4952built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4953<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4954location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4955variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004956
4957 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4958 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4959 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4960
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004961With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4962log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4963during the whole build process.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005028
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005029U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5030can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005031
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005032Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5033"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5034without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5035environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5036working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5037environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

5057 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5058 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005059 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5060 bootm_mapsize.
5061
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005062 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005063 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5064 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5065 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5066 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5067 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5068 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005069
5070 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5071 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5072 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5073 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5074 environment variable.
5075
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005076 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5077 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5078 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5079
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005080 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5081 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5082 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5083 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005084
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005085 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5086 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5087 be automatically started (by internally calling
5088 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005089
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005090 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5091 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5092 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5093 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5094 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005095
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005096 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5097 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005098 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5099 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5100 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5101 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5102 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5103 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5104 access it during the boot procedure.
5105
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005106 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5107 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5108 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5109 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5110 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5111 must be accessible by the kernel.
5112
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005113 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5114 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5115 defined.
5116
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005117 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5118 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5119 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5120 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5121 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5122
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005123 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5124 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5125 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5126 is usually what you want since it allows for
5127 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5128 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005129 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005130 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5131 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5132 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5133 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005134
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005135 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5136 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5137 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5138 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5139 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5140 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005141
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005142 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5145 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5146 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5147 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5148 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5149 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5150 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005151
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005152 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005169 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5170 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005171
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005172 => setenv ethact FEC
5173 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5174 => setenv ethact SCC
5175 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005176
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005177 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5178 available network interfaces.
5179 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5180
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005181 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005182 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5183 When set to "once" the network operation will
5184 fail when all the available network interfaces
5185 are tried once without success.
5186 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5187 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005188
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005189 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005190
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005191 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5192 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5193 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5194 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5195 is silent.
5196
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005197 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005198 UDP source port.
5199
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005200 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5201 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5202
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005203 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5204 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5205
5206 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5207 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5208 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5209 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5210 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5211 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5212 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5213
5214 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005215 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005216 VLAN tagged frames.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005218The following image location variables contain the location of images
5219used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5220not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5221variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5222server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5223loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5224flash or offset in NAND flash.
5225
5226*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5227boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5228boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005237The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5238updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5239depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005240
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005241 bootfile - see above
5242 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5243 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5244 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5245 hostname - Target hostname
5246 ipaddr - see above
5247 netmask - Subnet Mask
5248 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5249 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005250
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005251
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005252There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005253
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005254 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5255 as type string and/or serial number
5256 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005257
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005258These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5259the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5260once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005261
5262
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005263Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005264
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005265 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5266 with the "version" command. This variable is
5267 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005268

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005274Callback functions for environment variables:
5275---------------------------------------------
5276
5277For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5278when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5279be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5280deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5281effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5282
5283The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5284U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5285
5286These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5287static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5288in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5289associations. The list must be in the following format:
5290
5291 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5292 list = entry[,list]
5293
5294If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5295Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5296
5297Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5298with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5299override any association in the static list. You can define
5300CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5301".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5302
5303
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005304Command Line Parsing:
5305=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005306
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005307There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5308the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005309
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005310Old, simple command line parser:
5311--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005312
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005313- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5314- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005315- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005316- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5317 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005318 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005319- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5320 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005321
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005322Hush shell:
5323-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005324
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005325- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5326 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5327 until...do...done, ...
5328- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5329 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5330 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5331 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005332
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005333General rules:
5334--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005335
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005336(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5337 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5338 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5339 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005340
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005341(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005342 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005343 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5344 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005345
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005346Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5347=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005348
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005349Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005350such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5351"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005352
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005353Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5354MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5355"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005356
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005357If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5358in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5359ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5360variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005361
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005362o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5363 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005364
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005365o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5366 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5367 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005368
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005369o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5370 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005371
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005372o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5373 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5374 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005375
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005376o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5377 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005378
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005379If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005380will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005381may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5382The naming convention is as follows:
5383"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005385Image Formats:
5386==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005387
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005388U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5389images in two formats:
5390
5391New uImage format (FIT)
5392-----------------------
5393
5394Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5395to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5396components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5397SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5398
5399
5400Old uImage format
5401-----------------
5402
5403Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5404preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5405details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005406

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005421The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5422and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5423CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005424
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005425
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005426Linux Support:
5427==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005428
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005429Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5430easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5431U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005432
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005433U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5434special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5435"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5436instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5437serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005438
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005439- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5440 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5441 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005442
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005443- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5444 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005445
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5447 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5448 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5449 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5450 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5451 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005452
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005453
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005454Linux HOWTO:
5455============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005456
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5458---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005459
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005460U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5461configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5462(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5463Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005464
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005465But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005466
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005467Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5468include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005469Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5470and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005471as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005472
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005473Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5474If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5475is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5476doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005478
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005479Configuring the Linux kernel:
5480-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005481
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005482No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5483device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005484
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005485
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005486Building a Linux Image:
5487-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005488
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005489With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5490not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5491"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5492U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5493which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5494100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005495
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005496Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005497
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005498 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005499 make oldconfig
5500 make dep
5501 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005502
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005503The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5504encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5505CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005506
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005507* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005508
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005509* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005510
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005511 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5512 -R .note -R .comment \
5513 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005514
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005515* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005518
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005519* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005520
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005521 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5522 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5523 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005524
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005525
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005526The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5527with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5528combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5529byte header containing information about target architecture,
5530operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5531stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5534print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005535
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005536In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5537contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5538checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005539
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540 tools/mkimage -l image
5541 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005542
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005543The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5544from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005545
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005546 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5547 -n name -d data_file image
5548 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5549 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5550 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5551 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5552 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5553 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5554 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5555 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005556
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005557Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5558address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5559kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005560
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005561- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5562- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005563
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005564So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005565

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005618The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5619option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5620option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5621from the image:
5622
5623 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5624 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5625 indexed by 'position'

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628Installing a Linux Image:
5629-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005630
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005631To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5632you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005633
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005634 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005635
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5637image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5638address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5639specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5640command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005641
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005808More About U-Boot Image Types:
5809------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005810
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005811U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005812
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005813 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5814 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5815 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5816 the Standalone Program.
5817 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5818 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5819 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5820 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5821 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5822 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5823 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5824 being started.
5825 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5826 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5827 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5828 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5829 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5830 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005831
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005832 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5833 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5834 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5835 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5836 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5837 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005838
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005839 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5840 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5841 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005842
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5844 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5845 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5846 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005847
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005848Booting the Linux zImage:
5849-------------------------
5850
5851On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5852using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5853as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5854
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005855Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005856kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5857address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5858format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5862=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005863
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005864One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5865run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5866U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005902Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5903handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5904Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5905The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5906character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5907controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005908
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005909 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5910 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5911 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5912 q - quit application

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005973Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5974(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005975
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005976Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5977NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5978need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5979Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5980attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5981missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005982
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005983 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5984 # mkdir powerpc
5985 # ln -s powerpc machine
5986 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5987 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005988
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005989Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5990and U-Boot include files.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005992Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5993stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5994proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5995tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6000=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006001
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006002The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6003implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6004inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6005hardware.

6009---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006010
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006011The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6012starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6013system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6014This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6015is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6016at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6017options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6018models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6019MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6020locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006022 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006030 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6031 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6032 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6033 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6034 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006035 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006036 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6037 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006039 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6040 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006041 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006042 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6043 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6044 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6045 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006046
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006047 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006048 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6049 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006050 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006051 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6052 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6053 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6054 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6055 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006060It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6061code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006062
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006063* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6064 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006065
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006066* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006067 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6068 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006069
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006070* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6071 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006072
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006073Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6074normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6075turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6076simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6077functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6078functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6079the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6080place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6081reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006082
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006083When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6084relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6085GCC's implementation.

6097 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6098 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006102 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6103 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6104 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6105 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6106 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6107 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006158U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6159MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006160
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006161The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6162controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6163memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6164physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006165
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006166U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6167TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6168booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6169to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006170memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006171configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6172Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006173
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006174Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6175of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006176
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006177So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6178this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006179

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006200System Initialization:
6201----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006202
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006203In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006204(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006205configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6206To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6207To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6208initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6209which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6210part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6211the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006212
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006213Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6214preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6215(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6216on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6217programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6218simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6219banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006220
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006221When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6222different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6223bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
62240x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6225contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006226
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006227Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6228and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6229Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6230pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006231
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006232Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6233until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6234running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6235new address in RAM.

6313-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006314
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006315All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006316coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006317"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006318
6319Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6320MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6321reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6322sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006323
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006324Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6325Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6326in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00006327
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006328Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6329- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006330- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006331- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006332- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006333- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

6372 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006373 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006374 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6375 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006377 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6378 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6379 GNU diff.

6382 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6383 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6384 affected files).
6385
6386 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6387 and compressed attachments must not be used.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006397
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006398* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6399 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6400 for any of the boards.
6401
6402* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6403 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6404 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006405
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006406* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6407 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6408 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6409 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6410 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6411 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006412
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006413* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6414 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6415 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6416 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
