24Summary:
25========

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000027This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenkce4832c2004-10-17 21:12:06 +000028Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000032
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000036support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000050Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000051"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000234Software Configuration:
235=======================
236
237Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
238rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
239
240There are two classes of configuration variables:
241
242* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
243 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
244 "CONFIG_".
245
246* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
247 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
248 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200249 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000250
251Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
252identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
253do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
254links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
255as an example here.
256
257
258Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
259---------------------------------------------------
260
261For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
262configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
263
264Example: For a TQM823L module type:
265
266 cd u-boot
267 make TQM823L_config
268
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200269For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000270e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
271directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
272
273
274Configuration Options:
275----------------------
276
277Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
278such information is kept in a configuration file
279"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
280
281Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
282"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
283
284
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000285Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
286kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
287build a config tool - later.
288
289
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000290The following options need to be configured:
291

wdenkfde37042004-01-31 20:06:54 +0000352
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000353 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
354 of relying on the correctness of the configured
355 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure

366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
367
368 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
369 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
370 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
371
Kumar Gala179b1b22011-05-20 00:39:21 -0500372 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
373

Prabhakar Kushwahaa6a30622012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000377 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
378
379 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
380 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
381 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
382 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
383 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
384 purpose.
385
Scott Wood80806962012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
387
388 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
389 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
390 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.

392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
393 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
394
395 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
396 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
397
398 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
399 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
400 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
401 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
402
403 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
404 this erratum.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000478 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
479
480 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
481 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
482 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
483 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
484 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
485 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
486 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000487 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100488 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

527
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200528 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
529
530 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
531 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
532 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
533 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
534 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
535 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
536

538
539 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
540 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
541 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
542 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
543 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
544 in a single configuration file and the machine type is

599 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
600 this variable to initialize the extra register.
601
602 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
603
604 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100676 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100677 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE

Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000681- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200682 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
683 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
684 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
685 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
686 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
687 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
688 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200689 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200690 earlier bytes are discarded.

698 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
699 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
700 If this option is not given then these functions will
701 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
702 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

708 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000709
710 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
711 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
712 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
713 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
714 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
715 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
716 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
717 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
718 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
719 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
720 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
721 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
722
723- Autoboot Command:
724 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
725 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
726 define a command string that is automatically executed
727 when no character is read on the console interface
728 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
729
730 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000731 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
732 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
733 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000734
735 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000736 The value of these goes into the environment as
737 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
738 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200739 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000740
741- Pre-Boot Commands:
742 CONFIG_PREBOOT
743
744 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
745 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
746 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
747 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
748 entering interactive mode.
749
750 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
751 automatically generated or modified. For an example
752 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
753 modified when the user holds down a certain
754 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
755 booting the systems
756
757- Serial Download Echo Mode:
758 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
759 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
760 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
761 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
762 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
763 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
764 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
765
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500766- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)

771- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500772 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
773 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000774 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
775 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500776 and augmenting with additional #define's
777 for wanted commands.

868 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
869 support you can write:
870
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500871 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
872 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000873
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400874 Other Commands:
875 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000876
877 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500878 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000879 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
880 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
881 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
882 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
883 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
884 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000885
886
887 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
888
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000889- Device tree:
890 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
891 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
892 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
893 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
894 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
895 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
896
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000897 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
898 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000899
900 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
901 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
902 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
903 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
904 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
905 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000906
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000907 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
908 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
909 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
910 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
911
912 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
913
914 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
915 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
916 still use the individual files if you need something more
917 exotic.
918
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000919- Watchdog:
920 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
921 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000922 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
923 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
924 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
925 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
926 available, then no further board specific code should
927 be needed to use it.
928
929 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
930 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
931 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
932 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000933
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +0000934- U-Boot Version:
935 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
936 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
937 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
938 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +0200939 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
940 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +0000941
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000942- Real-Time Clock:
943
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500944 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000945 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
946 following options:
947
948 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
949 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +0000950 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +0000957 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200958 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +0200959 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
960 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000961
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +0000962 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
963 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
964
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600965- GPIO Support:
966 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
967 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command
968
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +0000969 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
970 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
971 pins supported by a particular chip.
972
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600973 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
974 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
975
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000976- Timestamp Support:
977
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000978 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
979 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
980 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500981 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000982
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +0000983- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
984 Zero or more of the following:
985 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
986 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
987 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
988 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
989 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
990 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
991 disk/part_efi.c
992 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000993
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100994 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
995 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +0000996 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000997
998- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000999 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1000 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001001
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001002 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1003 be performed by calling the function
1004 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1005 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001006
1007- ATAPI Support:
1008 CONFIG_ATAPI
1009

wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001457- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001458
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001459 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1460 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1461 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001462 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001463 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1464 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1465 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1466 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001467
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001468 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1469
1470 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1471 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1472 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1473 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1474 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1475 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1476
1477 Example:
1478 setenv splashpos m,m
1479 => image at center of screen
1480
1481 setenv splashpos 30,20
1482 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1483
1484 setenv splashpos -10,m
1485 => vertically centered image
1486 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1487
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001488- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1489
1490 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1491 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1492 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1493
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001494- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1495
1496 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1497 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1498 bmp command.
1499
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001500- Do compresssing for memory range:
1501 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1502
1503 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1504 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1505
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001506- Compression support:
1507 CONFIG_BZIP2
1508
1509 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1510 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1511 compressed images are supported.
1512
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001513 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001514 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001515 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001516
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001517 CONFIG_LZMA
1518
1519 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1520 images is included.
1521
1522 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1523 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1524 formula:
1525
1526 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1527
1528 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1529 and Literal pos bits.
1530
1531 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1532 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1533 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1534 a very small buffer.
1535
1536 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1537 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001538 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001539
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001540- MII/PHY support:

1546
1547 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1548
1549 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1550
1551 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001552 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001553
1554 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1555
1556 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1557 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1558 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1559 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1560
1561 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1562
1563 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1564 command issued before MII status register can be read

1602 default router where packets to other networks are
1603 sent to.
1604 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1605
1606- Subnet mask:
1607 CONFIG_NETMASK
1608
1609 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1610 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1611 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1612 forwarded through a router.
1613 (Environment variable "netmask")
1614
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001615- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1616 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1617
1618 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1619 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001620 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001621 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1622 multicast group.
1623
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001624- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1625 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1626
1627 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1628 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1629 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1630 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1631 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1632 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1633 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1634 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001635 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001636
1637 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1638 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1639 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1640 4th and following
1641 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

1666 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1667 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1668 is not available.

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001670 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1671 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1672 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1673 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1674 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1675 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1676 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001677 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001678
1679 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1680 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1681 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001682 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001683 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1684 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001685
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001686 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1687
1688 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1689 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1690 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1691 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1692 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1693 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1694 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1695 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1696 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1697 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1698 this delay.

Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001700 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1701 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1702 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1703 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1704 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

1711 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1712
1713 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1714
1715 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1716 of the device.
1717
1718 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1719
1720 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1721 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001722 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001723
1724 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1725
1726 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1727 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1728

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001750- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1751
1752 Several configurations allow to display the current
1753 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1754 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1755 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1756 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1757 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1758 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1759 feature in U-Boot.
1760
1761- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1762
1763 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1764 on those systems that support this (optional)
1765 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1766
1767- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1768
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001769 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001770 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001771 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001772
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001773 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001774 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001775 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1776 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001777 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001778
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001779 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001780
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001781 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001782 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1783 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001784
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001785 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001786 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001787
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001788 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001789 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001790 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001791 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001792
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001793 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02001794 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001795 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1796 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1797 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001798
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05001799 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1800
1801 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1802 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1803 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1804 commands until the slave device responds.
1805
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001806 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001807
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001808 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1809 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1810 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001811
1812 I2C_INIT
1813
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001814 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001815 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001816
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001817 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001818
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001819 I2C_PORT
1820
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001821 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1822 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1823 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001824
1825 I2C_ACTIVE
1826
1827 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1828 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1829 define can be null.
1830
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001831 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1832
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001833 I2C_TRISTATE
1834
1835 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1836 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1837 define can be null.
1838
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001839 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1840
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001841 I2C_READ
1842
1843 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1844 FALSE if it is low.
1845
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001846 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1847
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001848 I2C_SDA(bit)
1849
1850 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1851 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1852
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001853 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001854 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001855 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001856
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001857 I2C_SCL(bit)
1858
1859 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1860 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1861
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001862 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001863 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001864 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001865
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001866 I2C_DELAY
1867
1868 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1869 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001870 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001871 like:
1872
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001873 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001874
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04001875 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1876
1877 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1878 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1879 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1880 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1881
1882 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1883 the generic GPIO functions.
1884
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001885 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001886
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001887 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1888 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1889 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1890 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1891 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1892 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1893 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1894 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001895
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04001896 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1897
1898 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1899 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1900 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1901 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1902 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1903 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1904 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1905 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1906
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001907 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1908
1909 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1910 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1911 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1912
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001913 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1914
1915 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001916 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1917 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001918 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1919
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001920 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001921
1922 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001923 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001924 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1925 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001926
1927 e.g.
1928 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001929 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001930
1931 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1932
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001933 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001935
1936 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1937
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001938 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001939
1940 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1941 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1942
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001943 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001944
1945 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1946 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1947
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001948 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001949
1950 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1951 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1952
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001953 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07001954
1955 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1956 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1957 specified DTT device.
1958
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001959 CONFIG_FSL_I2C

Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001964 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1965
1966 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1967 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1968 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1969 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1970 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1971 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1972
1973 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1974 feature!
1975
1976 Example:
1977 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1978 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1979 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1980
1981 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1982
1983 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1984 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1985
1986 => i2c bus
1987 Busses reached over muxes:
1988 Bus ID: 2
1989 reached over Mux(es):
1990 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1991 Bus ID: 3
1992 reached over Mux(es):
1993 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1994 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1995 =>
1996
1997 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
Michael Jones9c5ef8d2011-07-14 22:09:28 +00001998 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
1999 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02002000 the channel 4.
2001
2002 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
Michael Jones9c5ef8d2011-07-14 22:09:28 +00002003 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02002004 the 2 muxes.
2005
2006 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2007 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2008 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2009 to add this option to other architectures.
2010
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002011 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2012
2013 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2014 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2015 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2016 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2017 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2018 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2019 the other.

2037 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2038
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002039 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2040 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2041 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2042 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2043 defined, the board configuration must define several
2044 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2045 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2048
2049 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2050 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2051 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002052 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

2121- Configuration Management:
2122 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2123
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002124 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2125 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002126
2127- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2128
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002129 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2130 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002131 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002132 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2133 protects these variables from casual modification by
2134 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2135 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002136 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002137
2138 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2139 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002140 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002141 these parameters.
2142
2143 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2144 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002145 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002146 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2147 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2148 read-only.]
2149
2150- Protected RAM:
2151 CONFIG_PRAM
2152
2153 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2154 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2155 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2156 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2157 this default value by defining an environment
2158 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2159 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2160 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2161 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2162 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2163 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2164 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2165
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002166 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002167 saveenv
2168
2169 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2170 either, which results in a memory region that will
2171 not be affected by reboots.
2172
2173 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2174 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2175 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2176 following board configurations are known to be
2177 "pRAM-clean":
2178
2179 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2180 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002182
2183- Error Recovery:
2184 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2185
2186 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2187 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2188 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002189 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002190 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2191 useful during development since you can try to debug
2192 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2193
2194 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2195
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002196 This variable defines the number of retries for
2197 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2198 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2199 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002200
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002201 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2202
2203 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2204
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002205 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2206
2207 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2208 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2209 try longer timeout such as
2210 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2211
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002212- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002213 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002214
2215 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2216
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002217 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2218 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002219
2220
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002221 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002222
2223 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2224 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2225 powerful command line syntax like
2226 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2227 constructs ("shell scripts").
2228
2229 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2230 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2231
2232
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002233 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002234
2235 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2236 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2237 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2238
2239 Note:
2240
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002241 In the current implementation, the local variables
2242 space and global environment variables space are
2243 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2244 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2245 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2246 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2247 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002248
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002249 Global environment variables are those you use
2250 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2251 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2252 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002253
2254 To store commands and special characters in a
2255 variable, please use double quotation marks
2256 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2257 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2258 symbols.
2259
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002260- Commandline Editing and History:
2261 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2262
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002263 Enable editing and History functions for interactive

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002266- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002267 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2268
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002269 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2270 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002271 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002272
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002273 For example, place something like this in your
2274 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002275
2276 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2277 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2278 "myvar2=value2\0"
2279
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002280 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2281 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2282 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2283 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002284 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002285 You better know what you are doing here.
2286
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002287 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2288 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002292 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2293
2294 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2295 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2296 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2297
2298 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2299
2300 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2301 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2302 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2303 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2304 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2305
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002306- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002307 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2308
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002309 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2310 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2311 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002312
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002313- Serial Flash support
2314 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2315
2316 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2317 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2318
2319 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2320 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2321 commands.
2322
2323 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2324 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2325 flash is present on the system.
2326
2327 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2328 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2329 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2330 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2331
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002332- SystemACE Support:
2333 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2334
2335 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2336 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002337 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002338 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002339
2340 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002341 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002342
2343 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2344 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2345
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002346- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2347 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2348
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002349 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002350 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002351 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002352 number generator is used.
2353
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002354 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2355 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2356 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2357
2358 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002359 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2360 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2361 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2362 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2363 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2364 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2365
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002366- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002367 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2368
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002369 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2370 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2371 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2372 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2373 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2374 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002375
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002376- Detailed boot stage timing
2377 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2378 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2379 of the boot process.
2380
2381 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2382 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2383 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2384 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2385 the limit, recording will stop.
2386
2387 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2388 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2389
2390 Timer summary in microseconds:
2391 Mark Elapsed Stage
2392 0 0 reset
2393 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2394 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2395 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2396 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2397 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2398 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2399 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2400
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002401 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2402 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2403 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2404
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002405 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2406 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2407 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2408 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2409 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2410 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2411 For example:
2412
2413 bootstage {
2414 154 {
2415 name = "board_init_f";
2416 mark = <3575678>;
2417 };
2418 170 {
2419 name = "lcd";
2420 accum = <33482>;
2421 };
2422 };
2423
2424 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002723Modem Support:
2724--------------
2725
Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02002726[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002727
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002728- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002729 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2730
2731- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2732 CONFIG_HWFLOW
2733
2734- Modem debug support:
2735 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2736
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002737 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2738 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002739
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002740- Interrupt support (PPC):
2741
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002742 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2743 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002744 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002745 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002746 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002747 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002748 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002749 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2750 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2751 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002752
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002753- General:
2754
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002755 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2756 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2757 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002758 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002759 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2760 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2761 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002762
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002763 If there are no modem init strings in the
2764 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2765 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002766 suppressed, though.

2771------------------------------
2772
2773During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2774to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2775before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2776following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2777architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2778typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002829- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002830 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002831
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002832- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:

2837 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002838 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002839 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By

2841 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2842 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002843 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002844 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002845 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002846
2847 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2848 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2849 be touched.
2850
2851 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2852 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2853 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2854 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002888- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002889 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2890 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002891 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002892 to adjust this setting to your needs.
2893
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002894- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

2896 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002897 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2898 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2899 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2900 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002901 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00002902 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2903 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2904 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06002906- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2907 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
2908 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2909 is enabled.
2910
2911- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:

2939 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2940
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002941- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002942
2943 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2944 without this option such a download has to be
2945 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2946 copy from RAM to flash.
2947
2948 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2949 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002950 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2951 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002952 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2953
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002954- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002955 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002956 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2957
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02002958- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER

2964 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2965 to the MTD layer.
2966
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002967- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

2976 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2977 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2978 optionally available.
2979
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05002980- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS

2982 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2983 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2984
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002985- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002986 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2987 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002988 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2989 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002990 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002991 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2992
Wolfgang Denk460a9ff2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02002993- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
2994
Wolfgang Denk1136f692010-10-27 22:48:30 +02002995 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
2996 internally to store the environment settings. The default
2997 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
2998 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
2999 lib/hashtable.c for details.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003001The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3002of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3003following configurations:
3004
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003005- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3006
3007 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3008 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3009
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003010- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003011
3012 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3013
3014 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3015 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3016 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3017 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3018 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3019 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3020 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3021 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3022 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3023 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3024 between U-Boot and the environment.
3025
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003026 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003027
3028 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3029 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3030 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3031 for this sector is given here.
3032
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003033 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003034
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003035 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003036
3037 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3038 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003039 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003040
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003041 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003042
3043 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3044
3045
3046 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3047 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3048 the environment.
3049
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003050 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003051
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003052 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003053 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003054 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3055 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3056
3057 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3058 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3059 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3060 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3061 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3062 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3063 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3064 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3065 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3066
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003067 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3068 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003069
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003070 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003071 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003072 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003073 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003074
3075BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3076source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3077accordingly!
3078
3079
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003080- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003081
3082 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3083 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3084 environment.
3085
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003086 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3087 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003088
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003089 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003090 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3091 can just be read and written to, without any special
3092 provision.
3093
3094BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3095in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003096console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003097U-Boot will hang.
3098
3099Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3100environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3101keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3102to save the current settings.
3103
3104
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003105- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003106
3107 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3108 device and a driver for it.
3109
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003110 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3111 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003112
3113 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3114 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3115
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003116 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003117 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3118 The default address is zero.
3119
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003120 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003121 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3122 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3123 would require six bits.
3124
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003125 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003126 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003127 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003128
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003129 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003130 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3131 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3132
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003133 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003134 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3135 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3136 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3137 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3138 byte chips.
3139
3140 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3141 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3142 in the chip address.
3143
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003144 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003145 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.

Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003147 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3148 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3149 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3150
3151 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3152 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3153 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3154 EEPROM. For example:
3155
Wolfgang Denk16fa98a2010-06-13 17:48:15 +02003156 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003157
3158 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3159 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003162
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003163 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you

3168 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003169
3170 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3171 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3172 at the specified address.
3173
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003174- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3175
3176 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3177 want to use for the local device's environment.
3178
3179 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3180 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3181
3182 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3183 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3184 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003185 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003186
3187BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3188"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003189environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3190but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

3198 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003199
3200 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003201 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3202 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003205
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003206 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003207 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3208 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003209 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003210 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3211
3212 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3213
3214 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3215 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3216 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3217 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3218 the range to be avoided.
3219
3220 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003221
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003222 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3223 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3224 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3225 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3226 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003228- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3229
3230 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3231 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3232 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3233
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003234- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003235
3236 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3237 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3238 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3239 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3240 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3241 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3242 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3243
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003244Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003245has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003246created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003247until then to read environment variables.
3248
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003249The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3250is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3251with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3252necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3253"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3254have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003255
3256Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3257the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003258use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003263 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003264 also needs to be defined.
3265
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003266- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

3271 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3272 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3273 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3274 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003289- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3290 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3291 PowerPC SOCs.
3292
3293- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3294 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3295 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3296
3297 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3298 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3299
3300- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3301 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3302 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003303 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003304 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3305 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3306 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3307
3308 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3309 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3310
3311- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003312 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3313 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003314 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3315 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3316
3317- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3318 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3319 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3320 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3321
3322- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3323 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3324 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

3529 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
3530
3531- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
3532 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00003533 to the given FEC; i. e.
3534 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00003535 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
3536

3538
3539- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
3540 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
3541 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
3542

3550 The syntax is:
3551
3552 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
3553
3554 Where address/count indicate a memory area

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00003577 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003578 low level initializations (like setting up the memory

3580 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00003581
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003582 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3583 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3584 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3585 these initializations itself.

3594 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
3595 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
3596 conditions but may increase the binary size.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06003598Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3599-----------------------------------
3600
3601The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3602loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3603This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3604are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3605within that device.
3606
3607- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3608 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
3609 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3610 is also specified.
3611
3612- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3613 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3614 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3615 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3616 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3617
3618- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3619 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3620 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3621 virtual address in NOR flash.
3622
3623- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3624 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3625 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3626
3627- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3628 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3629 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3630
3631- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3632 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3633 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3634
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00003635- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3636 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3637 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003638 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3639 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3640 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003642Building the Software:
3643======================
3644
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003645Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3646and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3647all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3648(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3649recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3650which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003651
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003652If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3653have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3654you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3655Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3656necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003657
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003658 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3659 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003660
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05003661Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3662 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3663 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3664 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3665
3666 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3667
3668 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3669 be executed on computers running Windows.
3670
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003671U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3672sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003673is done by typing:
3674
3675 make NAME_config
3676
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003677where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00003678rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00003679
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003680Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3681 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3682 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3683 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003684 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003685
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003686 make TQM823L_config
3687 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003688
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003689 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3690 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003691
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003692 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003693
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003694
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003695Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3696images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003697
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003698- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3699- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3700- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003701
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003702By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3703in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3704this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3705
37061. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3707
3708 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3709 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3710 make O=/tmp/build all
3711
37122. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3713
3714 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3715 make distclean
3716 make NAME_config
3717 make all
3718
3719Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3720variable.
3721
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003722
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003723Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3724for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3725native "make".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003728If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3729to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3730steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003731
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000037321. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00003733 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3734 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000037352. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3736 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3737 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
37383. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3739 your board
37403. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3741 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
37424. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
37435. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3744 to be installed on your target system.
37456. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3746 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

3750==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003751
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003752If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3753or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003754provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3755the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003756official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003757
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003758But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3759cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003760the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3761just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003762for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3763select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3764environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3765you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003766
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003767 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003768
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003769or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003770
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003771 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003772
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003773When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3774U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3775setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3776built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3777<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3778location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3779variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003780
3781 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3782 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3783 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3784
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003785With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3786log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3787during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003849Environment Variables:
3850======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003851
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003852U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3853can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003854
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003855Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3856"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3857without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3858environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3859working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3860environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003861
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003862Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3863
3864List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003865
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003866 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003867
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003868 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003869
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003870 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003871
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003872 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003873
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003874 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003875
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003876 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3877 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3878 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3879 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3880 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3881 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003882 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3883 bootm_mapsize.
3884
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003885 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003886 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3887 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3888 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3889 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3890 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3891 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003892
3893 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3894 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3895 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3896 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3897 environment variable.
3898
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02003899 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3900 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3901 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3902
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003903 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3904 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3905 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3906 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003907
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003908 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3909 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3910 be automatically started (by internally calling
3911 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003912
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003913 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3914 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3915 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3916 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3917 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003918
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04003919 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3920 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00003921 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3922 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3923 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3924 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3925 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3926 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3927 access it during the boot procedure.
3928
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04003929 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3930 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3931 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3932 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3933 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3934 must be accessible by the kernel.
3935
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00003936 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3937 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3938 defined.
3939
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003940 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3941 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3942 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3943 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3944 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3945
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003946 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3947 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3948 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3949 is usually what you want since it allows for
3950 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3951 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003952 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003953 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3954 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3955 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3956 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003957
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003958 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3959 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3960 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3961 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3962 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3963 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003964
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003965 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003966
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003967 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3968 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3969 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3970 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3971 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3972 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3973 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00003974
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003975 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00003990 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003991
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00003992 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
3993 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003994
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02003995 => setenv ethact FEC

3998 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003999
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004000 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4001 available network interfaces.
4002 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4003
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004004 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will

4006 When set to "once" the network operation will
4007 fail when all the available network interfaces
4008 are tried once without success.

Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004020 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4021 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4022
4023 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4024 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4025 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4026 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4027 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4028 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4029 with unreliable TFTP servers.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004035The following image location variables contain the location of images
4036used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4037not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4038variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4039server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4040loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4041flash or offset in NAND flash.
4042
4043*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4044boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4045boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004054The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4055updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4056depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004057

4061 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4062 hostname - Target hostname
4063 ipaddr - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004069There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004070
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004071 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4072 as type string and/or serial number
4073 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004074
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004075These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4076the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4077once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004078
4079
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004080Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004081
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004082 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4083 with the "version" command. This variable is

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004094There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4095the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004096
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004097Old, simple command line parser:
4098--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004099
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004100- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4101- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004102- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004103- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4104 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004105 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004106- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4107 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004108
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004109Hush shell:
4110-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004112- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4113 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4114 until...do...done, ...
4115- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4116 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4117 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4118 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004119
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004120General rules:
4121--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004122
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004123(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4124 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4125 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4126 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004127
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004128(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004129 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004130 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4131 variables are not executed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004133Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4134=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004135
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004136Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004137such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4138"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004139
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004140Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4141MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4142"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004144If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4145in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4146ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4147variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004148
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004149o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4150 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004151
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004152o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4153 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4154 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004155
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004156o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4157 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004158
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004159o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4160 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4161 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004162
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004163o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4164 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004165
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004166If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004167will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004168may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4169The naming convention is as follows:
4170"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004171
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004172Image Formats:
4173==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004174
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004175U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4176images in two formats:
4177
4178New uImage format (FIT)
4179-----------------------
4180
4181Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4182to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4183components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4184SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4185
4186
4187Old uImage format
4188-----------------
4189
4190Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4191preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4192details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004193

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004213Linux Support:
4214==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004215
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004216Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4217easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4218U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004219
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004220U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4221special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4222"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4223instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4224serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004225
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004226- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4227 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4228 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004229
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004230- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4231 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004232
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004233- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4234 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4235 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4236 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4237 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4238 software is easier now.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004241Linux HOWTO:
4242============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004243
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004244Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4245---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004246
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004247U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4248configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4249(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4250Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004251
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004252But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004253
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004254Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4255include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004256Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4257and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004258as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004259
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004260
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004261Configuring the Linux kernel:
4262-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004263
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004264No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4265device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004266
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004267
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004268Building a Linux Image:
4269-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004270
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004271With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4272not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4273"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4274U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004278Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004279
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004280 make TQM850L_config

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004285The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4286encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4287CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004288
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004289* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004290
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004291* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004292
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004293 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4294 -R .note -R .comment \
4295 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004296
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004297* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004298
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004299 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004300
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004301* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004302
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004303 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4304 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4305 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004306
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004307
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004308The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4309with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4310combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4311byte header containing information about target architecture,
4312operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4313stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004314
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004315"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4316print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004317
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004318In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4319contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4320checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004321
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004322 tools/mkimage -l image
4323 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004324
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004325The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4326from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004327
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004328 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4329 -n name -d data_file image
4330 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4331 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4332 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4333 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4334 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4335 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4336 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4337 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004338
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00004339Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4340address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4341kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004342
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004343- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4344- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004345
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004346So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004347

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004401Installing a Linux Image:
4402-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004403
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004404To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4405you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004406
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004407 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004408
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004409The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4410image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4411address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4412specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4413command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004414
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004415Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4416TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

4535First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
4536titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
4537following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
4538flat device tree:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004581More About U-Boot Image Types:
4582------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004583
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004584U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004585
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004586 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4587 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4588 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4589 the Standalone Program.
4590 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4591 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4592 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4593 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4594 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4595 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4596 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4597 being started.
4598 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4599 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4600 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4601 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4602 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4603 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004604
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004605 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4606 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4607 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4608 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4609 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4610 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004611
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004612 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4613 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4614 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004615
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004616 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4617 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4618 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4619 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00004621Booting the Linux zImage:
4622-------------------------
4623
4624On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4625using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4626as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4627
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00004628Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4629kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4630address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4631format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004634Standalone HOWTO:
4635=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004636
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004637One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4638run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4639U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004640
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004641Two simple examples are included with the sources:
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004642
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004643"Hello World" Demo:
4644-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004645
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004646'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4647application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4648It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4649like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004675Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4676handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4677Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4678The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4679character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4680controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004681
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004682 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4683 b - enable interrupts and start timer
4684 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4685 q - quit application

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004725Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4726"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4727consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4728Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4729especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
Karl O. Pinca0189bb2012-10-01 05:11:56 +00004730use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

4744=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004745
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004746Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4747(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004748
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004749Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4750NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4751need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4752Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4753attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4754missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004755
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004756 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4757 # mkdir powerpc
4758 # ln -s powerpc machine
4759 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4760 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004761
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004762Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4763and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004764
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004765Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4766stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4767proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4768tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

4773=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004774
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004775The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4776implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4777inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4778hardware.

4782---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004783
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004784The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4785starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4786system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4787This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4788is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4789at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4790options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4791models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4792MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4793locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004803 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4804 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4805 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4806 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4807 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004808 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004809 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4810 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004811
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004812 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4813 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004814 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004815 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4816 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4817 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4818 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004819
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004820 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004821 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4822 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02004823 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004824 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4825 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4826 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4827 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4828 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004833It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4834code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004835
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004836* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4837 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004838
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004839* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004840 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4841 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004842
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004843* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4844 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004845
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004846Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4847normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4848turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4849simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4850functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4851functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4852the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4853place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4854reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004855
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004856When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4857relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4858GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004859
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004860For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4861 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004862 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004863 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4864 R5-R10: parameter passing
4865 R13: small data area pointer
4866 R30: GOT pointer
4867 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004868
Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01004869 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4870 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4871 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004872
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004873 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004874
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004875 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4876 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4877 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4878 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4879 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4880 624 text + 127 data).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004900
Thomas Chou8fa38582010-05-21 11:08:03 +08004901On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
4902 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
4903
4904 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4905
4906 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4907 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
4908
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004909On NDS32, the following registers are used:
4910
4911 R0-R1: argument/return
4912 R2-R5: argument
4913 R15: temporary register for assembler
4914 R16: trampoline register
4915 R28: frame pointer (FP)
4916 R29: global pointer (GP)
4917 R30: link register (LP)
4918 R31: stack pointer (SP)
4919 PC: program counter (PC)
4920
4921 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
4922
Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02004923NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
4924or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004926Memory Management:
4927------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004928
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004929U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4930MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004931
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004932The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4933controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4934memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4935physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004936
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004937U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4938TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4939booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4940to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004941memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004942configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4943Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004944
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004945Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4946of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004947
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004948So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4949this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004950
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004951 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

4959 :
4960 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4961 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data

4963 :
4964 0x00FD FFFF
4965 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
4966 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
4967 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4968 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004969
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004970
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004971System Initialization:
4972----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004973
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004974In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004975(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004976configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
4977To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4978To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4979initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
4980which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
4981part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
4982the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004983
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004984Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4985preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4986(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4987on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4988programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4989simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4990banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004991
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004992When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4993different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4994bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
49950x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4996contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004997
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004998Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4999and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5000Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5001pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005002
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005003Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5004until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5005running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5006new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005113Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5114establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5115may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005119Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5120see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005122When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5123it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005124
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005125* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5126 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5127 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5130 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005131
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005132* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005133
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005134* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005135
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005136* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005137 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005138
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005139* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5140 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005141
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005142* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5143 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005144 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005145 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5146 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00005147
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005148 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5149 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5150 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005152 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5153 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5154 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5155 affected files).
5156
5157 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5158 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005159
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005160* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5161 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00005162
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005163* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5164 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005167Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005168
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005169* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5170 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5171 for any of the boards.
5172
5173* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5174 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5175 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005176
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005177* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5178 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5179 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5180 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5181 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5182 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005184* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5185 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5186 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5187 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
