24Summary:

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

wdenk7474aca2002-12-17 17:55:09 +0000126Versioning:
127===========
128
129U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
130sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
131sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
132
133The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
134between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
135U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000200Software Configuration:
201=======================
202
203Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
204rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
205
206There are two classes of configuration variables:
207
208* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
209 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
210 "CONFIG_".
211
212* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
213 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
214 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200215 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000216
217Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
218identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
219do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
220links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
221as an example here.
222
223
224Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
225---------------------------------------------------
226
227For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
228configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
229
230Example: For a TQM823L module type:
231
232 cd u-boot
233 make TQM823L_config
234
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200235For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000236e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
237directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
238
239
240Configuration Options:
241----------------------
242
243Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
244such information is kept in a configuration file
245"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
246
247Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
248"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
249
250
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000251Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
252kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
253build a config tool - later.
254
255
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256The following options need to be configured:
257

290 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
291 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
292 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +0000293

wdenk20bddb32004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000299 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
300 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000301 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
302 reference PIT/RTC clock
wdenk20bddb32004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000303 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK

311
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200312 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
wdenkfde37042004-01-31 20:06:54 +0000313
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000314 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
315 of relying on the correctness of the configured
316 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
317 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
318 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz

wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000340- Linux Kernel Interface:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000341 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
342
343 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
344 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
345 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
346 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
347 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
348 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
349 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000350 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100351 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000352 default environment.

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200356 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000357 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
358 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100389- vxWorks boot parameters:
390
391 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
392 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
393 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
394
395 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name

418 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
419 the clock speed of the UARTs.
420
421 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
422
423 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
424 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
425 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
426
427
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000428- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000429 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
430 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
431 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
432 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000433
434 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
435 port routines must be defined elsewhere
436 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
437
438 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100492- Console Rx buffer length
493 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
494 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100495 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100496 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
497 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
498 the SMC.
499
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000500- Interrupt driven serial port input:
501 CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
502
503 PPC405GP only.
504 Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
505 serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
506 (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
507 bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
508
wdenkf16b5162004-03-23 21:43:07 +0000509 Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
510 disable the buffer and hardware handshake.

stroese3d24d6e2003-05-23 11:39:05 +0000512- Console UART Number:
513 CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
514
Wolfgang Denk0ee70772005-09-23 11:05:55 +0200515 AMCC PPC4xx only.
stroese3d24d6e2003-05-23 11:39:05 +0000516 If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
517 as default U-Boot console.
518
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000519- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
520 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
521 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
522
523 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
524 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
525 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
526 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
527 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
528 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
529 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

531 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
532 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
533 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
534 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
535
536- Autoboot Command:
537 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
538 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
539 define a command string that is automatically executed
540 when no character is read on the console interface
541 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
542
543 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000544 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
545 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
546 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000547
548 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000549 The value of these goes into the environment as
550 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
551 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200552 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000553
554- Pre-Boot Commands:
555 CONFIG_PREBOOT
556
557 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
558 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
559 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
560 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
561 entering interactive mode.
562
563 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
564 automatically generated or modified. For an example
565 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
566 modified when the user holds down a certain
567 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
568 booting the systems
569
570- Serial Download Echo Mode:
571 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
572 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
573 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
574 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
575 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
576 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
577 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
578

663 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
664 support you can write:
665
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500666 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
667 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000668
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400669 Other Commands:
670 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000671
672 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500673 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000674 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
675 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
676 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
677 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
678 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
679 initial stack and some data.

867 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200868 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +0200869 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
870 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +0200871 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +0200872 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
873 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
874 a Linux host by
875 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
876 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
877 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following

wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001066
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001067 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1068 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1069 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001070 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001071 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1072 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1073 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1074 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001075
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001076 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1077
1078 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1079 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1080 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1081 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1082 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1083 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1084
1085 Example:
1086 setenv splashpos m,m
1087 => image at center of screen
1088
1089 setenv splashpos 30,20
1090 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1091
1092 setenv splashpos -10,m
1093 => vertically centered image
1094 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1095
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001096- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1097
1098 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1099 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1100 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1101
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001102- Compression support:
1103 CONFIG_BZIP2
1104
1105 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1106 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1107 compressed images are supported.
1108
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001109 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001110 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001111 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001112
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001113 CONFIG_LZMA
1114
1115 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1116 images is included.
1117
1118 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1119 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1120 formula:
1121
1122 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1123
1124 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1125 and Literal pos bits.
1126
1127 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1128 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1129 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1130 a very small buffer.
1131
1132 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1133 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001134 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1147 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001148 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001149
1150 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1151
1152 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1153 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1154 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1155 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1156
1157 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1158
1159 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1160 command issued before MII status register can be read

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001192 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001193 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a

1195
1196 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001197- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1198 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1199
1200 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1201 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1202 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1203 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1204 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1205 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1206 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1207 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001208 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001209
1210 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1211 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1212 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1213 4th and following
1214 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001233 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1234 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001235
1236 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1237 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1238 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1239 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1240 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1241 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1242 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001243 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001244
1245 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1246 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1247 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001248 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001249 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1250 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001252 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1253
1254 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1255 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1256 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1257 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1258 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1259 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1260 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1261 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1262 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1263 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1264 this delay.

1313 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1314 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1315 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1316 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1317 feature in U-Boot.
1318
1319- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1320
1321 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1322 on those systems that support this (optional)
1323 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1324
1325- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1326
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001327 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001328 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001329 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001330
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001331 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001332 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001333 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1334 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001335 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001336
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001337 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001338
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001339 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001340 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1341 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001342
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001343 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001344 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001345
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001346 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001347 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001348 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001349 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001350
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001351 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001352 sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001353 therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001354 p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001355
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001356 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001357
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001358 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1359 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1360 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001361
1362 I2C_INIT
1363
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001364 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001365 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001366
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001367 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001368
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001369 I2C_PORT
1370
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001371 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1372 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1373 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001374
1375 I2C_ACTIVE
1376
1377 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1378 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1379 define can be null.
1380
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001381 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1382
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001383 I2C_TRISTATE
1384
1385 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1386 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1387 define can be null.
1388
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001389 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1390
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001391 I2C_READ
1392
1393 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1394 FALSE if it is low.
1395
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001396 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1397
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001398 I2C_SDA(bit)
1399
1400 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1401 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1402
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001403 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001404 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001405 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001406
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001407 I2C_SCL(bit)
1408
1409 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1410 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1411
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001412 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001413 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001414 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001415
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001416 I2C_DELAY
1417
1418 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1419 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001420 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001421 like:
1422
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001423 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001424
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001425 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001426
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001427 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1428 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1429 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1430 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1431 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1432 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1433 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1434 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001435
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001436 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1437
1438 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1439 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1440 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1441
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001442 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1443
1444 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1445 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1446 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1447 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1448
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001449 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001450
1451 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001452 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1453 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1454 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001455
1456 e.g.
1457 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001458 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001459
1460 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1461
1462 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001463 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001464
1465 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1466
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001467 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001468
1469 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1470 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1471
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001472 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001473
1474 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1475 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1476
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001477 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001478
1479 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1480 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1481
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001482 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07001483
1484 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1485 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1486 specified DTT device.
1487
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001488 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1489
1490 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
Marcel Ziswileraea68562007-12-30 03:30:46 +01001491 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001492
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001493 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1494
1495 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1496 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1497 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1498 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1499 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1500 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1501
1502 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1503 feature!
1504
1505 Example:
1506 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1507 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1508 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1509
1510 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1511
1512 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1513 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1514
1515 => i2c bus
1516 Busses reached over muxes:
1517 Bus ID: 2
1518 reached over Mux(es):
1519 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1520 Bus ID: 3
1521 reached over Mux(es):
1522 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1523 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1524 =>
1525
1526 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
1527 u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
1528 channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
1529 the channel 4.
1530
1531 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
1532 usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
1533 the 2 muxes.
1534
1535 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1536 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1537 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1538 to add this option to other architectures.
1539
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001540 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1541
1542 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1543 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1544 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1545 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1546 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1547 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1548 the other.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001563 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1564 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1565 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1566 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1567 defined, the board configuration must define several
1568 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1569 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

1572
1573 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
1574 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
1575 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001608 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
1609 status by the configuration function. This option
1610 will require a board or device specific function to

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001622
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001623 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
1624 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
1625 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
1626 indicated a CRC error).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001641
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001642 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001643 200 ms.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001644
1645- Configuration Management:
1646 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1647
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001648 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1649 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001650
1651- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1652
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001653 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1654 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001655 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001656 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1657 protects these variables from casual modification by
1658 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1659 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001660 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001661
1662 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1663 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001664 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001665 these parameters.
1666
1667 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1668 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001669 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001670 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1671 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1672 read-only.]
1673
1674- Protected RAM:
1675 CONFIG_PRAM
1676
1677 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1678 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1679 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1680 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1681 this default value by defining an environment
1682 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1683 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1684 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1685 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1686 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1687 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1688 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1689
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01001690 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001691 saveenv
1692
1693 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1694 either, which results in a memory region that will
1695 not be affected by reboots.
1696
1697 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1698 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1699 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1700 following board configurations are known to be
1701 "pRAM-clean":
1702
1703 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1704 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
1705 PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
1706
1707- Error Recovery:
1708 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1709
1710 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1711 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1712 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001713 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001714 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1715 useful during development since you can try to debug
1716 the conditions that lead to the situation.
1717
1718 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1719
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001720 This variable defines the number of retries for
1721 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1722 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1723 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001724
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02001725 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
1726
1727 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
1728
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001729- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001730 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00001731
1732 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
1733
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01001734 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
1735 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001736
1737
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001738 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001739
1740 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1741 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1742 powerful command line syntax like
1743 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1744 constructs ("shell scripts").
1745
1746 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1747 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1748
1749
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001750 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001751
1752 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1753 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1754 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1755
1756 Note:
1757
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001758 In the current implementation, the local variables
1759 space and global environment variables space are
1760 separated. Local variables are those you define by
1761 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1762 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1763 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
1764 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001765
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001766 Global environment variables are those you use
1767 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1768 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1769 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001770
1771 To store commands and special characters in a
1772 variable, please use double quotation marks
1773 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1774 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1775 symbols.
1776
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02001777- Commandline Editing and History:
1778 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
1779
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001780 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkc80857e2006-07-21 11:56:05 +02001781 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02001782
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001783- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001784 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1785
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001786 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1787 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001788 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00001789
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001790 For example, place something like this in your
1791 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001792
1793 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1794 "myvar1=value1\0" \
1795 "myvar2=value2\0"
1796
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001797 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1798 internal format how the environment is stored by the
1799 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1800 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001801 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001802 You better know what you are doing here.
1803
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001804 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1805 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02001806 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001807 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001808
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001809- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001810 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
1811
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001812 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
1813 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
1814 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001815
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001816- SystemACE Support:
1817 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
1818
1819 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
1820 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001821 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001822 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001823
1824 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001825 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001826
1827 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
1828 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
1829
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001830- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
1831 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
1832
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001833 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001834 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001835 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001836 number generator is used.
1837
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001838 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
1839 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
1840 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
1841
1842 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001843 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
1844 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
1845 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
1846 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
1847 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
1848 but sometimes that is not allowed.
1849
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001850- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001851 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
1852
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001853 Defining this option allows to add some board-
1854 specific code (calling a user-provided function
1855 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
1856 the system's boot progress on some display (for
1857 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
1858 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001859
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02001860- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
1861 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
1862 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
1863 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
1864
1865 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
1866 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
1867
Stefan Roese22ce6f92009-05-12 14:31:18 +02001868- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
1869 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
1870
1871 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
1872 Needed for mtdparts command support.
1873
1874 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
1875
1876 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
1877 kernel. Needed for UBI support.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002033Modem Support:
2034--------------
2035
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002036[so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002037
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002038- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002039 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2040
2041- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2042 CONFIG_HWFLOW
2043
2044- Modem debug support:
2045 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2046
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002047 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2048 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002049
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002050- Interrupt support (PPC):
2051
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002052 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2053 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002054 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002055 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002056 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002057 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002058 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002059 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2060 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2061 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002062
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002063- General:
2064
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002065 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2066 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2067 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002068 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002069 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2070 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2071 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002072
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002073 If there are no modem init strings in the
2074 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2075 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002076 suppressed, though.

2131
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002132- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2133 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002134 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002135 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002136 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2137 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2138 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002139 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002140 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002141 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002142
2143 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2144 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2145 be touched.
2146
2147 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2148 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2149 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2150 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2151 problems.

Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002185 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2186 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002187 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file

2220
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002221- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002222
2223 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2224 without this option such a download has to be
2225 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2226 copy from RAM to flash.
2227
2228 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2229 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002230 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2231 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002232 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2233
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002234- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01002242- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2243 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2244 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2245 to the MTD layer.
2246
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002247- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01002255 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2256 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2257 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2258 optionally available.
2259
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05002260- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2261 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2262 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2263 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2264
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002265- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002266 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2267 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002268 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2269 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002270 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002271 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2272
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002273The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2274of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2275following configurations:
2276
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002277- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002278
2279 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2280
2281 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2282 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2283 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2284 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2285 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2286 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2287 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2288 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2289 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2290 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2291 between U-Boot and the environment.
2292
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002293 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002294
2295 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2296 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2297 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2298 for this sector is given here.
2299
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002300 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002301
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002302 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002303
2304 This is just another way to specify the start address of
2305 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002306 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002307
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002308 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002309
2310 Size of the sector containing the environment.
2311
2312
2313 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2314 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2315 the environment.
2316
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002317 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002318
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002319 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002320 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002321 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2322 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2323
2324 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2325 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2326 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2327 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2328 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2329 updating the environment in flash makes it always
2330 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2331 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2332 RAM, your target system will be dead.
2333
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002334 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
2335 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002336
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002337 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002338 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00002339 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002340 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002341
2342BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2343source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2344accordingly!
2345
2346
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02002347- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002348
2349 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2350 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2351 environment.
2352
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002353 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2354 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002355
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002356 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002357 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2358 can just be read and written to, without any special
2359 provision.
2360
2361BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2362in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002363console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002364U-Boot will hang.
2365
2366Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2367environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2368keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2369to save the current settings.
2370
2371
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02002372- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002373
2374 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2375 device and a driver for it.
2376
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002377 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2378 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002379
2380 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
2381 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
2382
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002383 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002384 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2385 The default address is zero.
2386
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002387 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002388 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2389 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
2390 would require six bits.
2391
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002392 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002393 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002394 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002395
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002396 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002397 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
2398 that this is NOT the chip address length!
2399
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002400 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002401 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2402 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2403 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2404 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2405 byte chips.
2406
2407 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2408 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2409 in the chip address.
2410
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002411 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002441 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002442 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
2443 so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
2444 power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
2445
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002446 Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
2447 to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002448 the NAND devices block size.
2449
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02002450- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
2451
2452 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
2453 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
2454 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
2455
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002456- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002457
2458 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2459 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2460 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2461 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2462 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2463 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2464 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2465
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07002466Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002467has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
2468created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
2469until then to read environment variables.
2470
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002471The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2472is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2473with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2474necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2475"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2476have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002477
2478Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2479the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002480use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002566 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
2567 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002568 data is located at the end of the available space
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002569 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END -
2570 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
2571 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
2572 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002577 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002667 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
2668 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
Timur Tabi054838e2006-10-31 18:44:42 -06002669
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00002670- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
2671 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
2672
2673- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
2674 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00002675 to the given FEC; i. e.
2676 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00002677 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
2678
2679 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
2680
2681- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
2682 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
2683 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
2684
2685- CONFIG_RMII
2686 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
2687 Note that this is a global option, we can't
2688 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
2689
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002690- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
2691 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
2692 The syntax is:
2693
2694 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
2695
2696 Where address/count indicate a memory area
2697 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
2698 area should have.
2699
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00002700- CONFIG_LOOPW
2701 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002702 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00002703
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002704- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
2705 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
2706 "md/mw" commands.
2707 Examples:
2708
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002709 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002710 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
2711
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002712 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002713 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
2714
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002715 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002716 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002717
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00002718- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
2719- CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT
2720
wdenke085e5b2005-04-05 23:32:21 +00002721 [ARM only] If these variables are defined, then
2722 certain low level initializations (like setting up
2723 the memory controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does
2724 not relocate itself into RAM.
2725 Normally these variables MUST NOT be defined. The
2726 only exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by
2727 some other boot loader or by a debugger which
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002728 performs these initializations itself.

Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02002730- CONFIG_PRELOADER
2731
2732 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
2733 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
2734 compiling a NAND SPL.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002736Building the Software:
2737======================
2738
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002739Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
2740and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
2741all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
2742(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
2743recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
2744which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002745
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002746If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
2747have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
2748you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
2749Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
2750necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002751
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002752 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
2753 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002754
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05002755Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
2756 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
2757 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
2758 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
2759
2760 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
2761
2762 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
2763 be executed on computers running Windows.
2764
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002765U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
2766sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002767is done by typing:
2768
2769 make NAME_config
2770
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002771where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
2772rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00002773
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002774Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
2775 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
2776 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
2777 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002778 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002779
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002780 make TQM823L_config
2781 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002782
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002783 make TQM823L_LCD_config
2784 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002785
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002786 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002787
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002788
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002789Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
2790images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002791
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002792- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
2793- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
2794- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002795
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02002796By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
2797in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
2798this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
2799
28001. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
2801
2802 make O=/tmp/build distclean
2803 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
2804 make O=/tmp/build all
2805
28062. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
2807
2808 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2809 make distclean
2810 make NAME_config
2811 make all
2812
2813Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
2814variable.
2815
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002816
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002817Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
2818for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
2819native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002820
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002821
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002822If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
2823to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
2824steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002825
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000028261. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
2827 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
2828 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
2829 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
2830 keep this order.
28312. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
2832 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
2833 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
28343. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
2835 your board
28363. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
2837 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
28384. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
28395. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
2840 to be installed on your target system.
28416. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
2842 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002845Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
2846==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002847
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002848If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
2849or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002850provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
2851the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002852official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002853
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002854But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
2855cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002856the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
2857just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002858for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
2859select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
2860environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
2861you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002862
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002863 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002864
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002865or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002866
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002867 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002868
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002869When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
2870U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
2871setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
2872built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
2873<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
2874location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
2875variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02002876
2877 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2878 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
2879 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
2880
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002881With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
2882log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
2883during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002946U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
2947can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002948
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002949Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
2950"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
2951without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
2952environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
2953working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
2954environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002965
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002966 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002967
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002968 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
2969 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
2970 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
2971 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
2972 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
2973 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002974 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002975
2976 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
2977 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
2978 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
2979 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
2980 environment variable.
2981
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02002982 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
2983 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
2984 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
2985
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002986 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
2987 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
2988 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
2989 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002990
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01002991 autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
2992 "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
2993 to automatically run script images (by internally
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002994 calling "source").
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01002995
2996 autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
2997 variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
2998
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002999 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3000 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3001 be automatically started (by internally calling
3002 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003003
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003004 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3005 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3006 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3007 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3008 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003009
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003010 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3011 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3012 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3013 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3014 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3015
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003016 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3017 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3018 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3019 is usually what you want since it allows for
3020 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3021 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003022 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003023 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3024 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3025 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3026 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003027
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003028 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3029 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3030 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3031 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3032 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3033 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003034
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003035 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003036
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003037 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3038 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3039 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3040 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3041 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3042 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3043 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

3061 interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003062
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003063 ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
3064 interface is currently active. For example you
3065 can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003066
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003067 => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
3068 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
3069 => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
3070 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003071
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01003072 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3073 available network interfaces.
3074 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3075
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003076 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
3077 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3078 When set to "once" the network operation will
3079 fail when all the available network interfaces
3080 are tried once without success.
3081 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3082 themselves.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003096The following environment variables may be used and automatically
3097updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3098depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003099
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003100 bootfile - see above
3101 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
3102 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3103 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3104 hostname - Target hostname
3105 ipaddr - see above
3106 netmask - Subnet Mask
3107 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3108 serverip - see above

wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003110
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003111There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003112
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003113 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3114 as type string and/or serial number
3115 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003116
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003117These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3118the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3119once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003120
3121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003122Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003123
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003124 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3125 with the "version" command. This variable is
3126 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003127
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003128
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003129Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
3130only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

3134=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003135
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003136There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3137the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003138
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003139Old, simple command line parser:
3140--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003141
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003142- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3143- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003144- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003145- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3146 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003147 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003148- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3149 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003150
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003151Hush shell:
3152-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003153
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003154- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3155 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3156 until...do...done, ...
3157- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3158 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3159 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3160 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003161
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003162General rules:
3163--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003164
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003165(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3166 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3167 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3168 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003169
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003170(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003171 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003172 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3173 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003174
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003175Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3176=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003177
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003178Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003179such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3180"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003181
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003182Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3183MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3184"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003185
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003186If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3187in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3188ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3189variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003190
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003191o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3192 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003193
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003194o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3195 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3196 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003198o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3199 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003200
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003201o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
3202 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
3203 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003204
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003205o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3206 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003207
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003208
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003209Image Formats:
3210==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003211
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003212U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3213images in two formats:
3214
3215New uImage format (FIT)
3216-----------------------
3217
3218Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3219to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3220components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3221SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3222
3223
3224Old uImage format
3225-----------------
3226
3227Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3228preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3229details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003230

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003250Linux Support:
3251==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003252
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003253Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3254easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3255U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003256
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003257U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3258special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3259"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3260instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3261serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003262
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003263- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3264 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3265 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003266
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003267- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3268 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003269
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003270- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3271 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3272 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3273 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3274 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3275 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003276

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003278Linux HOWTO:
3279============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003280
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003281Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3282---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003283
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003284U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3285configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3286(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3287Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003288
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003289But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003290
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003291Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3292include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02003293Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3294and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003295as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003296
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003297
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003298Configuring the Linux kernel:
3299-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003300
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003301No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3302device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003303
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003304
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003305Building a Linux Image:
3306-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003307
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003308With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3309not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3310"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3311U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3312which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3313100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003314
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003315Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003316
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003317 make TQM850L_config
3318 make oldconfig
3319 make dep
3320 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003321
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003322The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3323encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
3324CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003325
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003326* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003327
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003328* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003329
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003330 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3331 -R .note -R .comment \
3332 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003333
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003334* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003335
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003336 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003337
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003338* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003339
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003340 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3341 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3342 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003343
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003345The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3346with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3347combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3348byte header containing information about target architecture,
3349operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3350stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003351
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003352"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3353print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003354
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003355In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3356contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3357checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003358
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003359 tools/mkimage -l image
3360 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003361
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003362The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3363from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003364
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003365 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
3366 -n name -d data_file image
3367 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
3368 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
3369 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
3370 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
3371 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
3372 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
3373 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
3374 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003375
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00003376Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3377address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3378kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003379
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003380- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3381- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003382
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003383So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003384

3407speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
3408needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
3409need to be uncompressed:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003438Installing a Linux Image:
3439-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003440
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003441To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3442you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003443
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003444 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003445
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003446The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3447image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3448address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3449specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3450command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003451
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003452Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003489The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
3490memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
3491of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
3492parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
3493"printenv" and "setenv" commands:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003618More About U-Boot Image Types:
3619------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003620
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003621U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003622
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003623 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
3624 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
3625 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
3626 the Standalone Program.
3627 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
3628 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
3629 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
3630 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
3631 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
3632 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
3633 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
3634 being started.
3635 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
3636 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
3637 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
3638 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
3639 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
3640 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003641
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003642 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
3643 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
3644 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
3645 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
3646 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
3647 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003648
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003649 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
3650 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
3651 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003652
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003653 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
3654 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
3655 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
3656 as command interpreter.

3660=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003661
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003662One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3663run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3664U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003665
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003666Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003668"Hello World" Demo:
3669-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003670
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003671'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3672application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3673It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3674like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003700Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
3701handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
3702Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
3703The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
3704character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
3705controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003706
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003707 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003750Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
3751"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
3752consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
3753Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
3754especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
3755use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003771Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
3772NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
3773need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
3774Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
3775attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
3776missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003787Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
3788stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
3789proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
3790tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

3795=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003796
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003797The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
3798implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
3799inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
3800hardware.

3804---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003805
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003806The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
3807starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
3808system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
3809This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
3810is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
3811at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
3812options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
3813models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
3814MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
3815locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003825 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
3826 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
3827 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
3828 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
3829 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003830 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003831 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
3832 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003833
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003834 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
3835 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003836 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003837 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
3838 board designers haven't used it for something that would
3839 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
3840 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003842 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003843 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
3844 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02003845 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003846 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
3847 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
3848 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
3849 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
3850 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003855It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
3856code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003857
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003858* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
3859 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003860
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003861* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003862 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
3863 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003864
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003865* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
3866 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003867
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003868Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
3869normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
3870turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
3871simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
3872functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
3873functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
3874the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
3875place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
3876reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003877
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003878When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
3879relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
3880GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003881
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003882For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
3883 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01003884 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003885 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
3886 R5-R10: parameter passing
3887 R13: small data area pointer
3888 R30: GOT pointer
3889 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003890
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003891 (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003892
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01003893 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003894
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003895 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
3896 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
3897 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
3898 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
3899 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
3900 624 text + 127 data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003901
Mike Frysinger60f09302008-02-04 19:26:54 -05003902On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:
3903 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
3904
3905 ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data
3906
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003907On ARM, the following registers are used:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003908
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003909 R0: function argument word/integer result
3910 R1-R3: function argument word
3911 R9: GOT pointer
3912 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
3913 R11: argument (frame) pointer
3914 R12: temporary workspace
3915 R13: stack pointer
3916 R14: link register
3917 R15: program counter
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003918
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003919 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003920
Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02003921NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
3922or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003923
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003924Memory Management:
3925------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003926
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003927U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
3928MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003929
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003930The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
3931controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
3932memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
3933physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003934
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003935U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
3936TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
3937booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
3938to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003939memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003940configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
3941Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003942
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003943Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
3944of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003945
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003946So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
3947this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003948
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003949 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

3962 0x00FD FFFF
3963 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
3964 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
3965 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
3966 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003967
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003968
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003969System Initialization:
3970----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003971
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003972In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003973(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003974configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
3975To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
3976To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
3977initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
3978which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
3979part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
3980the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003981
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003982Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
3983preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
3984(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
3985on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
3986programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
3987simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
3988banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003989
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003990When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
3991different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
3992bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
39930x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
3994contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003995
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003996Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
3997and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
3998Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
3999pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004001Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4002until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4003running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4004new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004081Coding Standards:
4082-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004083
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004084All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004085coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
4086"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
4087originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
4088spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
4089
4090Source files originating from a different project (for example the
4091MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
4092reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
4093sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004094
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004095Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
4096Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
4097in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00004098
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004099Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
4100- remove any trailing white space
4101- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
4102- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
4103- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
4104- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004105
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004106Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
4107with a request to reformat the changes.

4111-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004112
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004113Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
4114establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
4115may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004116
Magnus Liljaf3b287b2008-08-06 19:32:33 +02004117Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004118
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004119Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
4120see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
4121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004122When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4123it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004124
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004125* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
4126 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
4127 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004128
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004129* For new features: a description of the feature and your
4130 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004131
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004132* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004133
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004134* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004135
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004136* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
4137 board to the MAKEALL script, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004138
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004139* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4140 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004141
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004142* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
4143 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
4144 "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
4145 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
4146 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00004147
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004148 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
4149 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
4150 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004151
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004152 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
4153 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
4154 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
4155 affected files).
4156
4157 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
4158 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004159
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004160* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4161 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00004162
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004163* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4164 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004165
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004166
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004167Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004168
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004169* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
4170 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
4171 for any of the boards.
4172
4173* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
4174 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
4175 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004176
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004177* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
4178 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
4179 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
4180 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
4181 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
4182 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00004183
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004184* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
4185 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
4186 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
4187 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
