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

30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000035"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200258 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263

Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

275
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700276Board Initialisation Flow:
277--------------------------
278
279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288lowlevel_init():
289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290 - no global_data or BSS
291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294 board_init_f()
295 - this is almost never needed
296 - return normally from this function
297
298board_init_f():
299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301 - global_data is available
302 - stack is in SRAM
303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304 only stack variables and global_data
305
306 Non-SPL-specific notes:
307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308 can do nothing
309
310 SPL-specific notes:
311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312 version as needed.
313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317 directly)
318
319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322memory.
323
324board_init_r():
325 - purpose: main execution, common code
326 - global_data is available
327 - SDRAM is available
328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331 Non-SPL-specific notes:
332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333 there.
334
335 SPL-specific notes:
336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340 spl_board_init() function containing this call
341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
342
343
344
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000345Configuration Options:
346----------------------
347
348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349such information is kept in a configuration file
350"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358build a config tool - later.
359
360
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000361The following options need to be configured:
362
Kim Phillips203fee32007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500363- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000364

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800724 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000725 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
726 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Kumar Gala1e26aa52006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600749 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
750
751 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
752 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel

Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600754 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
755
756 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
757 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
758 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
759 the kernel.

Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500761 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
762
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200763 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500764 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
765
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200766 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
767
768 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
769 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
770 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
771 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
772 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
773 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
774
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000775 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
776
777 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
778 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
779 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
780 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
781 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
782 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
783 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
784
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100785- vxWorks boot parameters:

787 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
788 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
789 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
790
791 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
792 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address

794 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
795
796 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
797
798 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
799
800 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
801 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000816
817 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
818
Andreas Engel0813b122008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200819 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000820
821 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
822
823 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
824
825 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
826 the clock speed of the UARTs.
827
828 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
829
830 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
831 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
832 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
833
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000834 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
835
836 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
837 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
838 this variable to initialize the extra register.
839
840 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
841
842 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
843 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
844 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000851- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000852 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
853 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
854 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
855 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000856
857 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
858 port routines must be defined elsewhere
859 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
860
861 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
862 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000900 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
901 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
902 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
903
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000904 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
905 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000908 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
909 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
910 the "silent" environment variable. See
911 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100924- Console Rx buffer length
925 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
926 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100927 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100928 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
929 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
930 the SMC.
931
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000932- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200933 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
934 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
935 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
936 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
937 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
938 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
939 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200940 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200941 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000942
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200943 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
944 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000945
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000946- Safe printf() functions
947 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
948 the printf() functions. These are defined in
949 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
950 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
951 If this option is not given then these functions will
952 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
953 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
954
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000955- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
956 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
957 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000958 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
959 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000960
961 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
962 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
963 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
964 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
965 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
966 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
967 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
968 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
969 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
970 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
971 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
972 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
973
974- Autoboot Command:
975 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
976 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
977 define a command string that is automatically executed
978 when no character is read on the console interface
979 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
980
981 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000982 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
983 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
984 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000985
986 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000987 The value of these goes into the environment as
988 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
989 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200990 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000991
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100992- Bootcount:
993 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
994 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
995 cycle, see:
996 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
997
998 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
999 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1000 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1001 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1002 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1003 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1004 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1005 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1006 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1007
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001008- Pre-Boot Commands:
1009 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1010
1011 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1012 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1013 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1014 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1015 entering interactive mode.
1016
1017 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1018 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1019 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1020 modified when the user holds down a certain
1021 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1022 booting the systems
1023
1024- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1025 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1026 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1027 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1028 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1029 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1030 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1031 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1032
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001033- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)

1038- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001039 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1040 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +00001041 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1042 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001043 and augmenting with additional #define's

Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001163 Other Commands:
1164 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001165
1166 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001167 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001168 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1169 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1170 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1171 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1172 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1173 initial stack and some data.

1176 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1177
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001178- Regular expression support:
1179 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001180 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1181 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1182 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1183 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001184
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001185- Device tree:
1186 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1187 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1188 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1189 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1190 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1191 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1192
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001193 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1194 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001195
1196 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1197 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1198 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1199 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1200 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1201 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001202
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001203 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1204 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1205 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1206 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1207
1208 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1209
1210 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1211 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1212 still use the individual files if you need something more
1213 exotic.
1214
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001215- Watchdog:
1216 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1217 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001218 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1219 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1220 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1221 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1222 available, then no further board specific code should
1223 be needed to use it.
1224
1225 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1226 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1227 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1228 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001229
Heiko Schocher735326c2015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001230 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1231 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1232
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001233- U-Boot Version:
1234 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1235 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1236 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1237 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001238 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1239 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001240
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001241- Real-Time Clock:
1242
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001243 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001244 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1245 following options:
1246
1247 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1248 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001249 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001258 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001259 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1260 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001261
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001262 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1263 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1264
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001265- GPIO Support:
1266 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001267
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001268 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1269 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1270 pins supported by a particular chip.
1271
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001272 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1273 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1274
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001275- I/O tracing:
1276 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1277 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1278 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1279 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1280 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1281 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1282 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1283 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1284
1285 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1286 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1287 still continue to operate.
1288
1289 iotrace is enabled
1290 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1291 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1292 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1293 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1294 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1295 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1296
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001297- Timestamp Support:
1298
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001299 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1300 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1301 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001302 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001303
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001304- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1305 Zero or more of the following:
1306 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1307 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1308 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1309 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1310 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001627- ULPI Layer Support:
1628 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1629 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1630 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1631 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1632 viewport is supported.
1633 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1634 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001635 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1636 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1637 the appropriate value in Hz.

Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001688 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1689 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1690 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1691 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1692 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1693
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001694 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1695 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1696 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1697 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1698 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1699 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1700
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001701 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1702 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1703 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1704 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1705
1706 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1707 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1708 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1709 sending again an USB request to the device.

1735 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1736 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1737
1738 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1739 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1740 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1741 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1742
Steve Rae7d059342014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001743 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1744 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1745 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1746 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1747 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1748 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1749 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1750 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001974 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001975 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1976 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1977 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1978 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1979 there is no need to set this option.
1980
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001981 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1982
1983 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1984 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1985 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1986 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1987 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1988 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1989
1990 Example:
1991 setenv splashpos m,m
1992 => image at center of screen
1993
1994 setenv splashpos 30,20
1995 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1996
1997 setenv splashpos -10,m
1998 => vertically centered image
1999 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2000
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002001- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2002
2003 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2004 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2005 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2006
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002007- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2008
2009 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2010 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2011 bmp command.
2012
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002013- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002014 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2015
2016 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2017 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2018
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002019- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002020 CONFIG_GZIP
2021
2022 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2023
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002024 CONFIG_BZIP2
2025
2026 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2027 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2028 compressed images are supported.
2029
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002030 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002031 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002032 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002033
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002034 CONFIG_LZMA
2035
2036 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2037 images is included.
2038
2039 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2040 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2041 formula:
2042
2043 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2044
2045 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2046 and Literal pos bits.
2047
2048 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2049 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2050 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2051 a very small buffer.
2052
2053 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2054 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002055 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002056
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002057 CONFIG_LZO
2058
2059 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2060 is included.
2061
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002062- MII/PHY support:

2067 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2068
2069 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2070
2071 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2072
2073 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002074 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002075
2076 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2077
2078 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2079 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2080 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2081 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2082
2083 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2084
2085 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2086 command issued before MII status register can be read

2125 sent to.
2126 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2127
2128- Subnet mask:
2129 CONFIG_NETMASK
2130
2131 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2132 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2133 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2134 forwarded through a router.
2135 (Environment variable "netmask")
2136
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002137- Multicast TFTP Mode:

2139
2140 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2141 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002142 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002143 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2144 multicast group.
2145
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002146- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2147 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2148
2149 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2150 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2151 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2152 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2153 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2154 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2155 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2156 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002157 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002158
2159 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2160 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2161 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2162 4th and following
2163 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2164
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002165 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2166
2167 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2168 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2169 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2170 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2171 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2172 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2173 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2174 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2175 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2176 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2177 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2178 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2179 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2180 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2181 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2182

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002201 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2202 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002203
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002204 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2205 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2206 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2207 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2208 is not available.
2209
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002210 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2211 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2212 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2213 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2214 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2215 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2216 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002217 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002218
2219 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2220 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2221 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002222 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002223 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2224 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002225
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002226 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2227
2228 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2229 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2230 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2231 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2232 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2233 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2234 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2235 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2236 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2237 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2238 this delay.
2239
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002240 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2241 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2242 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2243 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2244 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002290- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2291
2292 Several configurations allow to display the current
2293 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2294 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2295 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2296 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2297 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2298 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2299 feature in U-Boot.
2300
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002301 Additional options:
2302
2303 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2304 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2305 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2306 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2307 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2308
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002309 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2310 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2311 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2312 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2313 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2314 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2315
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002316- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2319 on those systems that support this (optional)
2320 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002499
2500 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2501 provides the following compelling advantages:
2502
2503 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2504 - approved multibus support
2505 - better i2c mux support
2506
2507 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002508
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002509 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2510 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2511 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002512
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002513 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002514 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002515 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2516 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002517 command line interface.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002519 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002520
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002521 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002522 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002523
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002524 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002525 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002526 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002527 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002528
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002529 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002530 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002531 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2532 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2533 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002534
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002535 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2536
2537 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2538 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2539 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2540 commands until the slave device responds.
2541
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002542 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002543
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002544 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002545 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2546 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002547
2548 I2C_INIT
2549
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002550 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002551 controller or configure ports.

2556
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002557 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2558 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2559 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002560
2561 I2C_ACTIVE
2562
2563 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2564 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002602 I2C_DELAY
2603
2604 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2605 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002606 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002607 like:
2608
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002609 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)

2612
2613 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2614 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2615 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will

wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002622
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002623 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2624 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2625 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2626 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2627 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2628 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2629 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2630 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002631
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002632 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2633
2634 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2635 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2636 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2637 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2638 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2639 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2640 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2641 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2642
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002643 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2644
2645 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2646 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2647 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2648
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002649 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2650
2651 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002652 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2653 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002654 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002657
2658 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002659 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002660 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2661 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002662

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002666
2667 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus

Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002695 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2696
2697 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2698 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2699 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2700 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2701 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2702 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2703 the other.

2825 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002835
2836- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2837
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002838 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2839 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002840 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002841 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2842 protects these variables from casual modification by
2843 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2844 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002845 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002846
2847 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2848 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002849 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002850 these parameters.
2851
2852 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2853 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002854 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002855 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2856 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2857 read-only.]
2858
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002859 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2860 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2861 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2862 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2863
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002864- Protected RAM:
2865 CONFIG_PRAM
2866
2867 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2868 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2869 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2870 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2871 this default value by defining an environment
2872 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2873 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2874 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2875 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2876 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2877 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2878 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2879
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002880 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002881 saveenv
2882
2883 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2884 either, which results in a memory region that will
2885 not be affected by reboots.
2886
2887 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2888 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2889 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2890 following board configurations are known to be
2891 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002897- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2898 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2899 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2900 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2901 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2902 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2903 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002905- Error Recovery:
2906 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2907
2908 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2909 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2910 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002911 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002912 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2913 useful during development since you can try to debug
2914 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2915
2916 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2917
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002918 This variable defines the number of retries for
2919 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2920 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2921 default value of 5 is used.

Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002927 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2928
2929 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2930 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2931 try longer timeout such as
2932 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002936
2937 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2938
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002939 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002940
2941 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2942 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2943 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2944
2945 Note:
2946
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002947 In the current implementation, the local variables
2948 space and global environment variables space are
2949 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2950 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2951 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2952 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2953 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002954
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002955 Global environment variables are those you use
2956 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2957 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2958 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002959
2960 To store commands and special characters in a
2961 variable, please use double quotation marks
2962 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2963 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2964 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002973 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2974
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002975 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2976 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002977 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002978
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002979 For example, place something like this in your
2980 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002981
2982 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2983 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2984 "myvar2=value2\0"
2985
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002986 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2987 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2988 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2989 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002990 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002991 You better know what you are doing here.
2992
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002993 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2994 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002995 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002996 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002998 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2999
3000 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3001 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3002 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3003
3004 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3005
3006 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3007 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3008 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3009 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3010 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3011
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003012 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3013
3014 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3015 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3016 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3017
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003018 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3019
3020 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003021 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003022 that so that the environment is not available until
3023 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3024 this is instead controlled by the value of
3025 /config/load-environment.
3026
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003027- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003028 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3029
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003030 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3031 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3032 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003033
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003034- Serial Flash support
3035 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3036
3037 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3038 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3039
3040 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3041 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3042 commands.
3043
3044 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3045 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3046 flash is present on the system.
3047
3048 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3049 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3050 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3051 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3052
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003053 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3054
3055 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3056 test ('sf test').
3057
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05303058 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3059
3060 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3061 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3062
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303063 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3064
3065 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3066 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003067 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303068
Heiko Schocherd73b7ec2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02003069 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3070 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3071 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3072 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3073 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3074 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3075 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3076 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3077 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3078 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3079
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003080- SystemACE Support:
3081 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3082
3083 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3084 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003085 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003086 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003087
3088 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003089 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003090
3091 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3092 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3093
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003094- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3095 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3096
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003097 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003098 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003099 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003100 number generator is used.
3101
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003102 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3103 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3104 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3105
3106 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003107 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3108 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3109 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3110 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3111 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3112 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3113
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003114- Hashing support:
3115 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3116
3117 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3118 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3119
3120 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3121
3122 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3123 size a little.
3124
gaurav ranaef201592015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303125 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3126 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3127 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3128 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3129 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3130 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3131 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3132 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3133 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3134 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3135 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3136 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003137
3138 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3139 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3140
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003141- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3142 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3143 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3144 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3145
3146 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3147 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3148 a boot from specific media.
3149
3150 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3151 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3152 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3153 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3154 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3155
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003156- Signing support:
3157 CONFIG_RSA
3158
3159 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003160 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003161
Ruchika Guptaa0d3ca62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303162 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3163 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3164 library to function.
3165
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003166 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
Ruchika Guptaa0d3ca62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303167 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3168 mkimage irrespective of this option.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003169
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003170- bootcount support:
3171 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3172
3173 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3174 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3175
3176 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3177 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3178 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3179 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3180 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3181 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3182 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3183 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3184 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3185 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3186 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3187 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3188 the bootcounter.
3189 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003192 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3193
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003194 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3195 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3196 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3197 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3198 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3199 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003200
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003201- Detailed boot stage timing
3202 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3203 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3204 of the boot process.
3205
3206 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3207 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3208 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3209 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3210 the limit, recording will stop.
3211
3212 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3213 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3214
3215 Timer summary in microseconds:
3216 Mark Elapsed Stage
3217 0 0 reset
3218 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start

3225
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003226 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3227 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3228 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3229
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003230 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3231 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3232 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3233 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3234 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3235 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3236 For example:
3237
3238 bootstage {
3239 154 {
3240 name = "board_init_f";
3241 mark = <3575678>;
3242 };
3243 170 {
3244 name = "lcd";
3245 accum = <33482>;
3246 };
3247 };
3248
3249 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3459 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3460 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3461 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3462 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3463 configured panel size.

3496

Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003502
3503 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3504 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3505 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3506 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3507 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3508 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3509
3510 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3511 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3512 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3513 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3514 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3515
3516 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003517
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003518 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3519 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3520 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3521 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3522 flash), this value is ignored.
3523
3524 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3525 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3526 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3527 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3528 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3529 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3530
3531 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3532 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3533 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3534 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3535 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3536 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3537 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3538 partition.
3539
3540 default: 20
3541
3542 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3543 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3544 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3545 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3546 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3547 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3548 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3549 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3550 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3551 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3552 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3553 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3554
3555 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3556 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3557 without a fastmap.
3558 default: 0

3563 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3564 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3565

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003834- Interrupt support (PPC):
3835
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003836 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3837 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003838 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003839 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003840 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003841 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003842 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003843 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3844 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3845 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003847- General:
3848
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003849 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3850 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3851 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003852 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003853 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3854 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3855 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003856
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003857 If there are no modem init strings in the
3858 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3859 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003860 suppressed, though.

3981
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003982- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3983 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3984 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3985 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3986 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3987 space.
3988
3989 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3990 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3991 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003992 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003993 U-Boot relocates itself.
3994
Simon Glasse997f752014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003995 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox

4002
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07004003- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4004 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4005 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4006 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4007 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4008 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4009 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4010 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4011 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4012 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4013 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4014 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4015 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4016 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4017 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4018 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4019
4020 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4021
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004022- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:

4024 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004025 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004033 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004034 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004035 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004036 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4037 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004076
4077 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4078 without this option such a download has to be
4079 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4080 copy from RAM to flash.
4081
4082 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4083 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004084 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4085 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

4121 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4122 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4123 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4124 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004129 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4130 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004131 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4132 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004133 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004134 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004187- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4188 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4189 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4190 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4191 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4192 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
Masahiro Yamada9e4af832015-03-19 19:42:51 +09004193 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4194 If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4195 the problem and send patches!

Gabe Black3687fe42014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004202- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4203 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4204 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4205 building U-Boot to enable this.
4206
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004207The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4208of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4209following configurations:
4210
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004211- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4212
4213 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4214 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4215
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004216- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004217
4218 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4219
4220 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4221 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4222 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4223 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4224 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4225 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4226 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4227 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4228 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4229 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4230 between U-Boot and the environment.
4231
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004232 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004233
4234 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4235 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4236 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4237 for this sector is given here.
4238
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004239 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004240
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004241 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004242
4243 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4244 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004245 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004246
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004247 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004248
4249 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4250
4251
4252 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4253 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4254 the environment.
4255
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004256 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004257
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004258 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004259 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004260 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4261 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4262
4263 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4264 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4265 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4266 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4267 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4268 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4269 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4270 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4271 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4272
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004273 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4274 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004275
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004276 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004277 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004278 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004279 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004280
4281BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4282source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4283accordingly!
4284
4285
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004286- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004287
4288 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4289 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4290 environment.
4291
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004292 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4293 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004294
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004295 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004296 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4297 can just be read and written to, without any special
4298 provision.
4299
4300BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004301in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004302console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004303U-Boot will hang.
4304
4305Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4306environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4307keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4308to save the current settings.
4309
4310
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004311- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004312
4313 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4314 device and a driver for it.
4315
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004316 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4317 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004318
4319 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4320 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4321
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004322 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004323 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4324 The default address is zero.
4325
Christian Gmeiner4c5b7542015-02-11 15:19:31 +01004326 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4327 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4328
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004329 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004330 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4331 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4332 would require six bits.
4333
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004334 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004335 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004336 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004337
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004338 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004339 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4340 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4341
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004342 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004343 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4344 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4345 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4346 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4347 byte chips.
4348
4349 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4350 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4351 in the chip address.
4352
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004353 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004354 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4355
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004356 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4357 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4358 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4359
4360 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4361 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4362 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4363 EEPROM. For example:
4364
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004365 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004366
4367 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4368 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4377 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004378
4379 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4380 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4381 at the specified address.
4382
Wu, Josh76db7bf2014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004383- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4384
4385 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4386 want to use for the environment.
4387
4388 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4389 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4390
4391 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4392 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4393 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4394
4395 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4396
4397 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4398
4399 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4400
4401 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4402 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4403 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4404 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4405 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4406
4407 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4408 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4409
4410 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4411
4412 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4413
4414 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4415
4416 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4417
4418 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4419
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004420- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4421
4422 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4423 want to use for the local device's environment.
4424
4425 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4426 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4427
4428 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4429 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4430 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004431 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004432
4433BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4434"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004435environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4436but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

4444 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004445
4446 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004447 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004452 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004453 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4454 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004455 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004456 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4457
4458 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4459
4460 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4461 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4462 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4463 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4464 the range to be avoided.
4465
4466 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004467
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004468 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4469 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4470 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4471 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4472 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004473
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004474- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4475
4476 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4477 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4478 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4479
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004480- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:

4482 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4483 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4484 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4485
4486 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4487
4488 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4489
4490 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4491
4492 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4493 environment in.
4494
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004495 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4496
4497 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4498 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4499 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4500
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004501 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4502 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4503
4504 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4505 when storing the env in UBI.
4506
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004507- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4508 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4509
4510 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4511
4512 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4513
4514 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4515
4516 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4517 be as following:
4518
4519 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4520 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4521 partition table.
4522 - "D:0": device D.
4523 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4524 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4525 table.
4526 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004527 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004528 partition table then means device D.
4529
4530 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4531
4532 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004533 environment.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004534
4535 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004536 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004537
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004538- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4539
4540 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4541 environment.
4542
4543 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4544
4545 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4546
4547 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4548
4549 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4550 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4551 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4552
4553 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4554 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4555
4556 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4557 area within the specified MMC device.
4558
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004559 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4560 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4561 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4562 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4563 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4564 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4565 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4566
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004567 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4568 MMC sector boundary.
4569
4570 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4571
4572 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4573 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4574 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4575 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4576
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004577 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4578 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4579
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004580 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4581 an MMC sector boundary.
4582
4583 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4584
4585 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4586 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4587 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4588
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004589- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004590
4591 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4592 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4593 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4594 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4595 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4596 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4597 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4598
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004599Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004600has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004601created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004602until then to read environment variables.
4603
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004604The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4605is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4606with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4607necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4608"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4609have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004610
4611Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4612the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004613use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004618 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004619 also needs to be defined.
4620
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004621- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004624- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4625 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4626 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4627 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4628 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4629 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4630
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004631- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4632 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4633 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4634 to do this.
4635
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004636- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4637 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4638 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4639 present.
4640
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004641- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4642 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4643 build system checks that the actual size does not
4644 exceed it.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004654
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004655 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4656 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4657 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004659- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4660 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4661 PowerPC SOCs.
4662
4663- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4664 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4665 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4666
4667 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4668 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4669
4670- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4671 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4672 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004673 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004674 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4675 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4676 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4677
4678 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4679 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4680
4681- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004682 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4683 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004684 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4685 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4686
4687- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4688 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4689 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4690 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4691
4692- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4693 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4694 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4912 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4913
4914- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4915 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004916 to the given FEC; i. e.
4917 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4

4919
4920 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4921
4922- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4923 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4924 (so program the FEC to ignore it).

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004960 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004961 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4962 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4963 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004964
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004965 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4966 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4967 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4968 these initializations itself.

4981 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4982 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4983 previous 4k of the .text section.
4984
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004985- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4986 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4987 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4988 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4989 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4990 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4991 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4992 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4993
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004994- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4995 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4996 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4997 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4998 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4999
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00005000- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
5001 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
5002 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06005017Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
5018-----------------------------------
5019
5020The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
5021loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5022This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5023are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5024within that device.
5025
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08005026- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
5027 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
5028 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5029 is also specified.
5030
5031- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
5032 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06005033 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5034 is also specified.
5035
5036- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5037 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5038 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5039 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5040 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5041
5042- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5043 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5044 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5045 virtual address in NOR flash.
5046
5047- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5048 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5049 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5050
5051- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5052 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5053 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5054
5055- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5056 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5057 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5058
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00005059- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5060 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5061 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00005062 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5063 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

J. German Rivera8ff14b72014-06-23 15:15:55 -07005066Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5067---------------------------------------------------------
5068The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5069"firmware".
5070This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5071are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5072within that device.
5073
5074- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5075 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5076
5077- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5078 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5079 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5080 is also specified.
5081
5082- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5083 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5084 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5085 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5086 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5087
5088- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5089 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5090 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5091 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005093Building the Software:
5094======================
5095
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005096Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5097and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5098all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5099(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5100recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5101which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005102
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005103If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5104have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5105you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5106Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5107necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005108
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005109 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5110 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005111
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005112Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5113 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5114 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5115 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5116
5117 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5118
5119 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5120 be executed on computers running Windows.
5121
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005122U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5123sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005124is done by typing:
5125
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005126 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005127
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005128where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005129rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005130
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005131Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5132 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5133 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5134 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005135 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005136
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005137 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005138 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005139
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005140 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005141 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005142
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005143 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005144
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005145
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005146Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5147images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005148
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005149- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5150- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5151- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005152
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005153By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5154in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5155this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5156
51571. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5158
5159 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005160 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005161 make O=/tmp/build all
5162
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020051632. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005164
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005165 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005166 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005167 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005168 make all
5169
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005170Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005171variable.
5172
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005173
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005174Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5175for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5176native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005177
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005178
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005179If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5180to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5181steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005182
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051831. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005184 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5185 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051862. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5187 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5188 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51893. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5190 your board
51913. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5192 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020051934. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051945. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5195 to be installed on your target system.
51966. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5197 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005200Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5201==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005202
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005203If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5204or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005205provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5206the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005207official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005208
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005209But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5210cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005211the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5212just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005213for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5214select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5215environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5216you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005217
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005218 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005219
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005220or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005221
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005222 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005223
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005224When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5225U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5226setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5227built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5228<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5229location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5230variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005231
5232 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5233 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5234 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5235
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005236With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5237log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5238during the whole build process.

5302======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005303
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005304U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5305can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005306
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005307Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5308"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5309without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5310environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5311working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5312environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005338 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5339 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5340 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5341 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5342 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5343 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005344
5345 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5346 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5347 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5348 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5349 environment variable.
5350
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005351 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5352 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5353 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5354
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005355 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5356 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5357 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5358 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005359
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005360 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5361 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5362 be automatically started (by internally calling
5363 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005364
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005365 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5366 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5367 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5368 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5369 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005370
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005371 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5372 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005373 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5374 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5375 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5376 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5377 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5378 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5379 access it during the boot procedure.
5380
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005381 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5382 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5383 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5384 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5385 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5386 must be accessible by the kernel.
5387
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005388 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5389 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5390 defined.
5391
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005392 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5393 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5394 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5395 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5396 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5397
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005398 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5399 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5400 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5401 is usually what you want since it allows for
5402 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5403 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005404 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005405 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5406 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5407 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5408 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005409
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005410 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5411 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5412 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5413 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5414 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5415 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005416
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005417 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005418
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005419 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5420 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5421 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5422 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5423 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5424 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5425 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005426
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005427 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005444 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5445 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005446
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005447 => setenv ethact FEC
5448 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5449 => setenv ethact SCC
5450 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005451
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005452 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5453 available network interfaces.
5454 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5455
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005456 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5458 When set to "once" the network operation will
5459 fail when all the available network interfaces
5460 are tried once without success.
5461 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5462 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005463
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005464 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005465
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005466 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005467 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5468 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5469 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5470 is silent.
5471
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005472 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005473 UDP source port.
5474
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005475 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5476 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5477
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005478 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5479 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5480
5481 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5482 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5483 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5484 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5485 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5486 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5487 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5488
5489 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005490 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005491 VLAN tagged frames.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005493The following image location variables contain the location of images
5494used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5495not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5496variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5497server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5498loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5499flash or offset in NAND flash.
5500
5501*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5502boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5503boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005512The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5513updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5514depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005515
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005516 bootfile - see above
5517 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5518 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5519 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5520 hostname - Target hostname
5521 ipaddr - see above
5522 netmask - Subnet Mask
5523 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5524 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005527There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005528
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005529 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5530 as type string and/or serial number
5531 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5534the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5535once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005536
5537
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005538Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005539
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5541 with the "version" command. This variable is
5542 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005543

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005549Callback functions for environment variables:
5550---------------------------------------------
5551
5552For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005553when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005554be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5555deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5556effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5557
5558The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5559U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5560
5561These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5562static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5563in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5564associations. The list must be in the following format:
5565
5566 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5567 list = entry[,list]
5568
5569If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5570Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5571
5572Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5573with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5574override any association in the static list. You can define
5575CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005576".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5580=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005581
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005582There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5583the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005584
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005585Old, simple command line parser:
5586--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005587
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005588- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5589- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005590- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005591- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5592 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005593 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005594- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5595 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005596

5598-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005599
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005600- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5601 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5602 until...do...done, ...
5603- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5604 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5605 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5606 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005607
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608General rules:
5609--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005610
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005611(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5612 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5613 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5614 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005615
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005616(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005617 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005618 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5619 variables are not executed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005621Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5622=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005623
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005624Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005625such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5626"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005627
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5629MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5630"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005631
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005632If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5633in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5634ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5635variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005636
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005637o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5638 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005639
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5641 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5642 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005643
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005644o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5645 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005646
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5648 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5649 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005650
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005651o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5652 is raised.

Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005654If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005655will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005656may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5657The naming convention is as follows:
5658"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005660Image Formats:
5661==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005662
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005663U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5664images in two formats:
5665
5666New uImage format (FIT)
5667-----------------------
5668
5669Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5670to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5671components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5672SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5673
5674
5675Old uImage format
5676-----------------
5677
5678Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5679preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5680details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005681

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005700
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005701Linux Support:
5702==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005703
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005704Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5705easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5706U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005707
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005708U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5709special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5710"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5711instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5712serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005713
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005714- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5715 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5716 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005717
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005718- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5719 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005720
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005721- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5722 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5723 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5724 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5725 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5726 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005727
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005728
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005729Linux HOWTO:
5730============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005731
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005732Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5733---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005734
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005735U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5736configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5737(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5738Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005739
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005740But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005741
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005742Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5743include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005744Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5745and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005746as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005747
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005748Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5749If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5750is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5751doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005753
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005754Configuring the Linux kernel:
5755-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005756
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005757No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5758device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005759
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005760
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005761Building a Linux Image:
5762-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005763
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5765not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5766"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5767U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5768which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5769100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005770
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005771Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005772
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005773 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005774 make oldconfig
5775 make dep
5776 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005777
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005778The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5779encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5780CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005781
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005782* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005783
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005784* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005785
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005786 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5787 -R .note -R .comment \
5788 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005789
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005790* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005791
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005792 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005793
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005794* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005795
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005796 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5797 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5798 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005799
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005800
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005801The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5802with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5803combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5804byte header containing information about target architecture,
5805operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5806stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005807
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005808"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5809print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005810
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005811In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5812contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5813checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005814
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005815 tools/mkimage -l image
5816 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005817
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005818The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5819from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005820
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005821 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5822 -n name -d data_file image
5823 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5824 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5825 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5826 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5827 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5828 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5829 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5830 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005831
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005832Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5833address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5834kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005835
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005836- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5837- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005838
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005839So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005840

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005893The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5894option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5895option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5896from the image:
5897
Guilherme Maciel Ferreira40bf5632015-01-15 02:54:40 -02005898 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5899 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5900 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5901 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005904Installing a Linux Image:
5905-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005906
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005907To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5908you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005909
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005910 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005911
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005912The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5913image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5914address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5915specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5916command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005917
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005918Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006084More About U-Boot Image Types:
6085------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006086
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006087U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006088
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006089 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6090 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6091 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6092 the Standalone Program.
6093 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6094 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6095 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6096 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6097 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6098 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6099 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6100 being started.
6101 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6102 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6103 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6104 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6105 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6106 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006107
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006108 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6109 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6110 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6111 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6112 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6113 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006114
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006115 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6116 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6117 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006118
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006119 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6120 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6121 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6122 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006123
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006124Booting the Linux zImage:
6125-------------------------
6126
6127On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6128using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6129as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6130
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006131Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006132kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6133address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6134format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6138=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006139
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006140One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6141run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6142U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

6179handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6180Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6181The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6182character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6183controlled by the following keys:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006185 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6186 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6187 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6188 q - quit application

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006249Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6250(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006251
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006252Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6253NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6254need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6255Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6256attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6257missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006258
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006259 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6260 # mkdir powerpc
6261 # ln -s powerpc machine
6262 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6263 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006264
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006265Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6266and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006267
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006268Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6269stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6270proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6271tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6276=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006277
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006278The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6279implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6280inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6281hardware.

6285---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006286
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006287The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6288starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6289system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6290This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6291is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6292at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6293options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6294models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6295MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6296locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006297
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006298 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006306 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6307 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6308 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6309 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6310 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006311 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006312 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6313 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006315 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6316 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006317 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006318 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6319 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6320 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6321 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006322
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006323 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006324 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6325 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006326 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006327 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6328 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6329 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6330 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6331 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006336It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6337code for the initialization procedures:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006339* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6340 to write it.

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006342* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006343 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6344 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006345
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006346* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6347 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006348
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006349Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006350normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006351turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6352simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6353functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6354functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6355the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6356place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6357reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006358
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006359When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6360relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6361GCC's implementation.

6373 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6374 going back and forth between asm and C)

6379 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6380 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6381 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6382 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006434U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6435MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006436
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006437The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6438controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6439memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6440physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006441
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006442U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6443TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6444booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6445to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006446memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006447configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6448Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006449
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006450Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6451of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006452
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006453So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6454this:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006476System Initialization:
6477----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006478
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006479In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006480(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006481configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006482To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6483To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6484initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6485which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6486part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6487the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006488
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006489Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6490preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6491(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6492on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6493programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6494simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6495banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006496
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006497When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6498different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6499bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
65000x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6501contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006502
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006503Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6504and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6505Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6506pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006507
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006508Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6509until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6510running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6511new address in RAM.

6648 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006649 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006650 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6651 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006653 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6654 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6655 GNU diff.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006673
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006674* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6675 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6676 for any of the boards.
6677
6678* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6679 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6680 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006681
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006682* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6683 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6684 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6685 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6686 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6687 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006688
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006689* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6690 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6691 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6692 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
