| 24 | Summary: |
| 25 | ======== |
| 26 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for |
| 28 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC and ARM processors, which can be |
| 29 | installed in a boot ROM and used to initialize and test the hardware |
| 30 | or to download and run application code. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | |
| 32 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some |
| 34 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | support booting of Linux images. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily |
| 38 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are |
| 39 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to |
| 40 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used |
| 41 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can |
| 42 | load and run it dynamically. |

| 108 | =========== |
| 109 | |
| 110 | U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a |
| 111 | sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2", |
| 112 | sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4". |
| 113 | |
| 114 | The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development |
| 115 | between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of |
| 116 | U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0". |

| 244 | Software Configuration: |
| 245 | ======================= |
| 246 | |
| 247 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the |
| 248 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. |
| 249 | |
| 250 | There are two classes of configuration variables: |
| 251 | |
| 252 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: |
| 253 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with |
| 254 | "CONFIG_". |
| 255 | |
| 256 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: |
| 257 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if |
| 258 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with |
| 259 | "CFG_". |
| 260 | |
| 261 | Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even |
| 262 | identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to |
| 263 | do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic |
| 264 | links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards |
| 265 | as an example here. |
| 266 | |
| 267 | |
| 268 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: |
| 269 | --------------------------------------------------- |
| 270 | |
| 271 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default |
| 272 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". |
| 273 | |
| 274 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: |
| 275 | |
| 276 | cd u-boot |
| 277 | make TQM823L_config |
| 278 | |
| 279 | For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the cpu type as well; |
| 280 | e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent |
| 281 | directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. |
| 282 | |
| 283 | |
| 284 | Configuration Options: |
| 285 | ---------------------- |
| 286 | |
| 287 | Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all |
| 288 | such information is kept in a configuration file |
| 289 | "include/configs/<board_name>.h". |
| 290 | |
| 291 | Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in |
| 292 | "include/configs/TQM823L.h". |
| 293 | |
| 294 | |
wdenk | 1272e23 | 2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 295 | Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux |
| 296 | kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to |
| 297 | build a config tool - later. |

| 412 | |
| 413 | U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz |
| 414 | internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux |
| 415 | kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the |
| 416 | bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable |
| 417 | "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot |
| 418 | converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the |
| 419 | Linux kernel. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 420 | When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of |

| 509 | set to -1 to disable autoboot. |
| 510 | |
| 511 | See doc/README.autoboot for these options that |

| 522 | CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY |
| 523 | |
| 524 | - Autoboot Command: |
| 525 | CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND |
| 526 | Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; |
| 527 | define a command string that is automatically executed |
| 528 | when no character is read on the console interface |
| 529 | within "Boot Delay" after reset. |
| 530 | |
| 531 | CONFIG_BOOTARGS |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 532 | This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm |
| 533 | command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the |
| 534 | environment value "bootargs". |

wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 537 | The value of these goes into the environment as |
| 538 | "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used |
| 539 | as a convenience, when switching between booting from |
| 540 | ram and nfs. |

| 542 | - Pre-Boot Commands: |
| 543 | CONFIG_PREBOOT |
| 544 | |
| 545 | When this option is #defined, the existence of the |
| 546 | environment variable "preboot" will be checked |
| 547 | immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY |
| 548 | countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. |
| 549 | entering interactive mode. |
| 550 | |
| 551 | This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is |
| 552 | automatically generated or modified. For an example |
| 553 | see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is |
| 554 | modified when the user holds down a certain |
| 555 | combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when |
| 556 | booting the systems |
| 557 | |
| 558 | - Serial Download Echo Mode: |
| 559 | CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO |
| 560 | If defined to 1, all characters received during a |
| 561 | serial download (using the "loads" command) are |
| 562 | echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal |
| 563 | emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take |
| 564 | time on others. This setting #define's the initial |
| 565 | value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. |
| 566 | |
| 567 | - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CFG_CMD_KGDB is defined) |
| 568 | CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE |
| 569 | Select one of the baudrates listed in |
| 570 | CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. |
| 571 | |
| 572 | - Monitor Functions: |
| 573 | CONFIG_COMMANDS |
| 574 | Most monitor functions can be selected (or |
| 575 | de-selected) by adjusting the definition of |
| 576 | CONFIG_COMMANDS; to select individual functions, |
| 577 | #define CONFIG_COMMANDS by "OR"ing any of the |
| 578 | following values: |
| 579 | |

| 639 | CFG_CMD_DFL Default configuration; at the moment |
| 640 | this is includes all commands, except |
| 641 | the ones marked with "*" in the list |
| 642 | above. |
| 643 | |
| 644 | If you don't define CONFIG_COMMANDS it defaults to |
| 645 | CFG_CMD_DFL in include/cmd_confdefs.h. A board can |
| 646 | override the default settings in the respective |
| 647 | include file. |
| 648 | |
| 649 | EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network |
| 650 | support you can write: |
| 651 | |
| 652 | #define CONFIG_COMMANDS (CFG_CMD_ALL & ~CFG_CMD_NET) |

| 924 | |
| 925 | If you have many targets in a network that try to |

| 949 | than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. |
| 950 | If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS |
| 951 | serverip will be stored in the additional environment |
| 952 | variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always |
| 953 | stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS |
| 954 | is added to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK. |
| 955 | |
| 956 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable |
| 957 | to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they |
| 958 | need the hostname of the DHCP requester. |
| 959 | If CONFIG_BOOP_SEND_HOSTNAME is added to the |

| 1221 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1222 | If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot |

| 1226 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1227 | U-Boot considers the values of the environment |
| 1228 | variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1229 | "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1230 | are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and |
| 1231 | protects these variables from casual modification by |
| 1232 | the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, |
| 1233 | and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can |
| 1234 | change this behviour: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1235 | |
| 1236 | If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config |
| 1237 | file, the write protection for vendor parameters is |
wdenk | cc1e256 | 2003-03-06 13:39:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1238 | completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1239 | these parameters. |
| 1240 | |
| 1241 | Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR |
| 1242 | _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default |
| 1243 | ethernet address is installed in the environment, |
| 1244 | which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The |
| 1245 | serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains |
| 1246 | read-only.] |
| 1247 | |
| 1248 | - Protected RAM: |
| 1249 | CONFIG_PRAM |
| 1250 | |
| 1251 | Define this variable to enable the reservation of |
| 1252 | "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten |
| 1253 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of |
| 1254 | kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite |
| 1255 | this default value by defining an environment |
| 1256 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to |
| 1257 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will |
| 1258 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is |
| 1259 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will |
| 1260 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of |
| 1261 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot |
| 1262 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: |
| 1263 | |
| 1264 | setenv bootargs ... mem=\$(mem) |
| 1265 | saveenv |
| 1266 | |
| 1267 | This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, |
| 1268 | either, which results in a memory region that will |
| 1269 | not be affected by reboots. |
| 1270 | |
| 1271 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic |
| 1272 | detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that |
| 1273 | this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the |
| 1274 | following board configurations are known to be |
| 1275 | "pRAM-clean": |
| 1276 | |
| 1277 | ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, |
| 1278 | HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC, |
| 1279 | PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260 |
| 1280 | |
| 1281 | - Error Recovery: |
| 1282 | CONFIG_PANIC_HANG |
| 1283 | |
| 1284 | Define this variable to stop the system in case of a |
| 1285 | fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. |
| 1286 | This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded |
| 1287 | system where you want to system to reboot |
| 1288 | automatically as fast as possible, but it may be |
| 1289 | useful during development since you can try to debug |
| 1290 | the conditions that lead to the situation. |
| 1291 | |
| 1292 | CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT |
| 1293 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1294 | This variable defines the number of retries for |
| 1295 | network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP |
| 1296 | before giving up the operation. If not defined, a |
| 1297 | default value of 5 is used. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1298 | |
| 1299 | - Command Interpreter: |
| 1300 | CFG_HUSH_PARSER |
| 1301 | |
| 1302 | Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from |
| 1303 | Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling |
| 1304 | powerful command line syntax like |
| 1305 | if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' |
| 1306 | constructs ("shell scripts"). |
| 1307 | |
| 1308 | If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour |
| 1309 | with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. |
| 1310 | |
| 1311 | |
| 1312 | CFG_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 |
| 1313 | |
| 1314 | This defines the secondary prompt string, which is |
| 1315 | printed when the command interpreter needs more input |
| 1316 | to complete a command. Usually "> ". |
| 1317 | |
| 1318 | Note: |
| 1319 | |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1320 | In the current implementation, the local variables |
| 1321 | space and global environment variables space are |
| 1322 | separated. Local variables are those you define by |
| 1323 | simply typing `name=value'. To access a local |
| 1324 | variable later on, you have write `$name' or |
| 1325 | `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable |
| 1326 | directly type `$name' at the command prompt. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1327 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1328 | Global environment variables are those you use |
| 1329 | setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored |
| 1330 | in such a variable, you need to use the run command, |
| 1331 | and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1332 | |
| 1333 | To store commands and special characters in a |
| 1334 | variable, please use double quotation marks |
| 1335 | surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead |
| 1336 | of the backslashes before semicolons and special |
| 1337 | symbols. |

| 1599 | on high ethernet traffic. |
| 1600 | Defaults to 4 if not defined. |
| 1601 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1602 | The following definitions that deal with the placement and management |
| 1603 | of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the |
| 1604 | following configurations: |
| 1605 | |
| 1606 | - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: |
| 1607 | |
| 1608 | Define this if the environment is in flash memory. |
| 1609 | |
| 1610 | a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is |
| 1611 | "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This |
| 1612 | happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot |
| 1613 | sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller |
| 1614 | sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a |
| 1615 | layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In |
| 1616 | such a case you would place the environment in one of the |
| 1617 | 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With |
| 1618 | "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the |
| 1619 | environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap |
| 1620 | between U-Boot and the environment. |
| 1621 | |
| 1622 | - CFG_ENV_OFFSET: |
| 1623 | |
| 1624 | Offset of environment data (variable area) to the |
| 1625 | beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot |
| 1626 | type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset |
| 1627 | for this sector is given here. |
| 1628 | |
| 1629 | CFG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CFG_FLASH_BASE. |
| 1630 | |
| 1631 | - CFG_ENV_ADDR: |
| 1632 | |
| 1633 | This is just another way to specify the start address of |
| 1634 | the flash sector containing the environment (instead of |
| 1635 | CFG_ENV_OFFSET). |
| 1636 | |
| 1637 | - CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: |
| 1638 | |
| 1639 | Size of the sector containing the environment. |
| 1640 | |
| 1641 | |
| 1642 | b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. |
| 1643 | In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for |
| 1644 | the environment. |
| 1645 | |
| 1646 | - CFG_ENV_SIZE: |
| 1647 | |
| 1648 | If you use this in combination with CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH |
| 1649 | and CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part |
| 1650 | of this flash sector for the environment. This saves |
| 1651 | memory for the RAM copy of the environment. |
| 1652 | |
| 1653 | It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this |
| 1654 | when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, |
| 1655 | since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used |
| 1656 | for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is |
| 1657 | STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: |
| 1658 | updating the environment in flash makes it always |
| 1659 | necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes |
| 1660 | wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in |
| 1661 | RAM, your target system will be dead. |
| 1662 | |
| 1663 | - CFG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND |
| 1664 | CFG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND |
| 1665 | |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1666 | These settings describe a second storage area used to hold |
| 1667 | a redundand copy of the environment data, so that there is |
wdenk | b02744a | 2003-04-05 00:53:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1668 | a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during |
wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1669 | a "saveenv" operation. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1670 | |
| 1671 | BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the |
| 1672 | source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* |
| 1673 | accordingly! |
| 1674 | |
| 1675 | |
| 1676 | - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: |
| 1677 | |
| 1678 | Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device |
| 1679 | (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the |
| 1680 | environment. |
| 1681 | |
| 1682 | - CFG_ENV_ADDR: |
| 1683 | - CFG_ENV_SIZE: |
| 1684 | |
| 1685 | These two #defines are used to determin the memory area you |
| 1686 | want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory |
| 1687 | can just be read and written to, without any special |
| 1688 | provision. |
| 1689 | |
| 1690 | BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early |
| 1691 | in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the |
| 1692 | console baudrate). You *MUST* have mappend your NVRAM area then, or |
| 1693 | U-Boot will hang. |
| 1694 | |
| 1695 | Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the |
| 1696 | environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to |
| 1697 | keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" |
| 1698 | to save the current settings. |
| 1699 | |
| 1700 | |
| 1701 | - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: |
| 1702 | |
| 1703 | Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access |
| 1704 | device and a driver for it. |
| 1705 | |
| 1706 | - CFG_ENV_OFFSET: |
| 1707 | - CFG_ENV_SIZE: |
| 1708 | |
| 1709 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the |
| 1710 | environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. |
| 1711 | |
| 1712 | - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: |
| 1713 | If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. |
| 1714 | The default address is zero. |
| 1715 | |
| 1716 | - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: |
| 1717 | If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a |
| 1718 | single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example |
| 1719 | would require six bits. |
| 1720 | |
| 1721 | - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: |
| 1722 | If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between |
| 1723 | page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. |
| 1724 | |
| 1725 | - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: |
| 1726 | The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note |
| 1727 | that this is NOT the chip address length! |
| 1728 | |
| 1729 | - CFG_EEPROM_SIZE: |
| 1730 | The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. |
| 1731 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1732 | |
| 1733 | - CFG_SPI_INIT_OFFSET |
| 1734 | |
| 1735 | Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The |
| 1736 | area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment |
| 1737 | is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte |
| 1738 | scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization |
| 1739 | calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems |
| 1740 | to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the |
| 1741 | start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. |
| 1742 | |
| 1743 | Please note that the environment is read-only as long as the monitor |
| 1744 | has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been |
| 1745 | created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r() |
| 1746 | until then to read environment variables. |
| 1747 | |
wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1748 | The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor |
| 1749 | is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working |
| 1750 | with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is |
| 1751 | necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the |
| 1752 | "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't |
| 1753 | have any device yet where we could complain.] |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1754 | |
| 1755 | Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if |
| 1756 | the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you |
wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1757 | use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1909 | Building the Software: |
| 1910 | ====================== |
| 1911 | |
| 1912 | Building U-Boot has been tested in native PPC environments (on a |
| 1913 | PowerBook G3 running LinuxPPC 2000) and in cross environments |
| 1914 | (running RedHat 6.x and 7.x Linux on x86, Solaris 2.6 on a SPARC, and |
| 1915 | NetBSD 1.5 on x86). |
| 1916 | |
| 1917 | If you are not using a native PPC environment, it is assumed that you |
| 1918 | have the GNU cross compiling tools available in your path and named |
| 1919 | with a prefix of "powerpc-linux-". If this is not the case, (e.g. if |
| 1920 | you are using Monta Vista's Hard Hat Linux CDK 1.2) you must change |
| 1921 | the definition of CROSS_COMPILE in Makefile. For HHL on a 4xx CPU, |
| 1922 | change it to: |
| 1923 | |
| 1924 | CROSS_COMPILE = ppc_4xx- |
| 1925 | |
| 1926 | |
| 1927 | U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the |
| 1928 | sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This |
| 1929 | is done by typing: |
| 1930 | |
| 1931 | make NAME_config |
| 1932 | |
| 1933 | where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing |
| 1934 | configurations; the following names are supported: |
| 1935 | |
| 1936 | ADCIOP_config GTH_config TQM850L_config |
| 1937 | ADS860_config IP860_config TQM855L_config |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1955 | Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if |
| 1956 | additional information is available from the board vendor; for |
| 1957 | instance, the TQM8xxL systems run normally at 50 MHz and use a |
| 1958 | SCC for 10baseT ethernet; there are also systems with 80 MHz |
| 1959 | CPU clock, and an optional Fast Ethernet module is available |
| 1960 | for CPU's with FEC. You can select such additional "features" |
| 1961 | when chosing the configuration, i. e. |
| 1962 | |
| 1963 | make TQM860L_config |
| 1964 | - will configure for a plain TQM860L, i. e. 50MHz, no FEC |
| 1965 | |
| 1966 | make TQM860L_FEC_config |
| 1967 | - will configure for a TQM860L at 50MHz with FEC for ethernet |
| 1968 | |
| 1969 | make TQM860L_80MHz_config |
| 1970 | - will configure for a TQM860L at 80 MHz, with normal 10baseT |
| 1971 | interface |
| 1972 | |
| 1973 | make TQM860L_FEC_80MHz_config |
| 1974 | - will configure for a TQM860L at 80 MHz with FEC for ethernet |
| 1975 | |
| 1976 | make TQM823L_LCD_config |
| 1977 | - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD |
| 1978 | |
| 1979 | make TQM823L_LCD_80MHz_config |
| 1980 | - will configure for a TQM823L at 80 MHz with U-Boot console on LCD |
| 1981 | |
| 1982 | etc. |
| 1983 | |
| 1984 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1985 | Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1986 | images ready for download to / installation on your system: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1987 | |
| 1988 | - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image |
| 1989 | - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format |
| 1990 | - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format |
| 1991 | |
| 1992 | |
| 1993 | Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so |
| 1994 | for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of |
| 1995 | native "make". |
| 1996 | |
| 1997 | |
| 1998 | If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need |
| 1999 | to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these |
| 2000 | steps: |
| 2001 | |
| 2002 | 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel |
wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2003 | "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing |
| 2004 | entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2005 | boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please |
wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2006 | keep this order. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2007 | 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any |
wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2008 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least |
| 2009 | the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". |
| 2010 | 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for |
| 2011 | your board |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2012 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new |
| 2013 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. |
wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2014 | 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2015 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file |
| 2016 | to be installed on your target system. |
wdenk | 8dba050 | 2003-03-31 16:34:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2017 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2018 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] |
| 2019 | |
| 2020 | |
| 2021 | Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: |
| 2022 | ============================================================== |
| 2023 | |
| 2024 | If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board |
| 2025 | or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to |
| 2026 | provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes |
| 2027 | the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest |
| 2028 | official or latest in CVS) version of U-Boot sources. |
| 2029 | |
| 2030 | But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- |
| 2031 | cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of |
| 2032 | the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, |
| 2033 | just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot |
| 2034 | for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2035 | select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2036 | environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the cross tools from |
| 2037 | MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux you can type |
| 2038 | |
| 2039 | CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL |
| 2040 | |
| 2041 | or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type |
| 2042 | |
| 2043 | CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL |
| 2044 | |

| 2102 | |
| 2103 | TODO. |
| 2104 | |
| 2105 | For now: just type "help <command>". |
| 2106 | |
| 2107 | |
| 2108 | Environment Variables: |
| 2109 | ====================== |
| 2110 | |
| 2111 | U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which |
| 2112 | can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. |
| 2113 | |
| 2114 | Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using |
| 2115 | "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" |
| 2116 | without a value can be used to delete a variable from the |
| 2117 | environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are |
| 2118 | working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the |
| 2119 | environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. |
| 2120 | |
| 2121 | Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables: |
| 2122 | |
| 2123 | baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE |
| 2124 | |
| 2125 | bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY |
| 2126 | |
| 2127 | bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND |
| 2128 | |
| 2129 | bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image |
| 2130 | |
| 2131 | bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP |
| 2132 | |
| 2133 | autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), |
| 2134 | "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the |
| 2135 | configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to |
| 2136 | load any image using TFTP |
| 2137 | |
| 2138 | autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", |
| 2139 | "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will |
| 2140 | be automatically started (by internally calling |
| 2141 | "bootm") |
| 2142 | |
wdenk | 3f9ab98 | 2003-04-12 23:38:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2143 | If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the |
| 2144 | "bootm" command will be copied to the load address |
| 2145 | (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. |
| 2146 | This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary |
| 2147 | data. |
| 2148 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2149 | initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: |
| 2150 | If this variable is not set, initrd images will be |
| 2151 | copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this |
| 2152 | is usually what you want since it allows for |
| 2153 | maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to |
| 2154 | make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the |
| 2155 | CFG_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment |
| 2156 | variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". |
| 2157 | Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper |
| 2158 | address to use (U-Boot will still check that it |
| 2159 | does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). |
| 2160 | |
| 2161 | For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2162 | RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2163 | you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of |
| 2164 | the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2165 | sure that the initrd image is placed in the first |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2166 | 12 MB as well - this can be done with |
| 2167 | |
| 2168 | setenv initrd_high 00c00000 |
| 2169 | |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2170 | If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an |
| 2171 | indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal |
| 2172 | for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash |
| 2173 | memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the |
| 2174 | ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the |
| 2175 | boot time on your system, but requires that this |
| 2176 | feature is supported by your Linux kernel. |

| 2232 | ===================== |
| 2233 | |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2234 | There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: |
| 2235 | the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: |
wdenk | f4688a2 | 2003-05-28 08:06:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2236 | |
| 2237 | Old, simple command line parser: |
| 2238 | -------------------------------- |
| 2239 | |
| 2240 | - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) |
| 2241 | - several commands on one line, separated by ';' |
| 2242 | - variable substitution using "... $(name) ..." syntax |
| 2243 | - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', |
| 2244 | for example: |
| 2245 | setenv bootcmd bootm \$(address) |
| 2246 | - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: |
| 2247 | setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' |
| 2248 | |
| 2249 | Hush shell: |
| 2250 | ----------- |
| 2251 | |
| 2252 | - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like |
| 2253 | if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, |
| 2254 | until...do...done, ... |
| 2255 | - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv |
| 2256 | commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax |
| 2257 | "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" |
| 2258 | command |
| 2259 | |
| 2260 | General rules: |
| 2261 | -------------- |
| 2262 | |
| 2263 | (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" |
| 2264 | command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and |
| 2265 | one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be |
| 2266 | executed anyway. |
| 2267 | |
| 2268 | (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. |
| 2269 | calling run with a list af variables as arguments), any failing |
| 2270 | command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining |
| 2271 | variables are not executed. |
| 2272 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2273 | Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: |
| 2274 | ======================================= |
| 2275 | |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2276 | Some boards come with redundant ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2277 | such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2278 | "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2279 | |
| 2280 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding |
| 2281 | MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), |
| 2282 | "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... |
| 2283 | |
| 2284 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance |
| 2285 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- |
| 2286 | ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment |
| 2287 | variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: |
| 2288 | |
| 2289 | o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the |
| 2290 | environment, the SROM's address is used. |
| 2291 | |
| 2292 | o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the |
| 2293 | environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is |
| 2294 | used. |
| 2295 | |
| 2296 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and |
| 2297 | both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. |
| 2298 | |
| 2299 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the |
| 2300 | addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a |
| 2301 | warning is printed. |
| 2302 | |
| 2303 | o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error |
| 2304 | is raised. |
| 2305 | |
| 2306 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2307 | Image Formats: |
| 2308 | ============== |
| 2309 | |
| 2310 | The "boot" commands of this monitor operate on "image" files which |
| 2311 | can be basicly anything, preceeded by a special header; see the |
| 2312 | definitions in include/image.h for details; basicly, the header |
| 2313 | defines the following image properties: |
| 2314 | |
| 2315 | * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, |
| 2316 | 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, |
wdenk | 0893c47 | 2003-05-20 14:25:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2317 | LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, ARTOS; |
wdenk | e58b0dc | 2003-07-27 00:21:01 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2318 | Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, ARTOS, LynxOS). |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2319 | * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86, |
| 2320 | IA64, MIPS, MIPS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; |
| 2321 | Currently supported: PowerPC). |
wdenk | 710e350 | 2003-08-29 20:57:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2322 | * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2323 | * Load Address |
| 2324 | * Entry Point |
| 2325 | * Image Name |
| 2326 | * Image Timestamp |
| 2327 | |
| 2328 | The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header |
| 2329 | and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by |
| 2330 | CRC32 checksums. |
| 2331 | |
| 2332 | |
| 2333 | Linux Support: |
| 2334 | ============== |
| 2335 | |
| 2336 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2337 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2338 | U-Boot. |
| 2339 | |
| 2340 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some |
| 2341 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any |
| 2342 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; |
| 2343 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2344 | serves several purposes: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2345 | |
| 2346 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone |
| 2347 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the |
| 2348 | Flash memory footprint) |
| 2349 | |
| 2350 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2351 | lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2352 | |
| 2353 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" |
| 2354 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can |
| 2355 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't |
| 2356 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just |
| 2357 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the |
| 2358 | software is easier now. |
| 2359 | |
| 2360 | |
| 2361 | Linux HOWTO: |
| 2362 | ============ |
| 2363 | |
| 2364 | Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: |
| 2365 | --------------------------------------- |
| 2366 | |
| 2367 | U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to |
| 2368 | configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware |
| 2369 | (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to |
| 2370 | Linux :-). |
| 2371 | |
| 2372 | But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot). |
| 2373 | |
| 2374 | Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance |
| 2375 | include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board |
| 2376 | Information structure as we define in include/u-boot.h, and make |
| 2377 | sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value as your |
| 2378 | U-Boot configuration in CFG_IMMR. |
| 2379 | |
| 2380 | |
| 2381 | Configuring the Linux kernel: |
| 2382 | ----------------------------- |
| 2383 | |
| 2384 | No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root |
| 2385 | device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. |
| 2386 | |
| 2387 | |
| 2388 | Building a Linux Image: |
| 2389 | ----------------------- |
| 2390 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2391 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are |
| 2392 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target |
| 2393 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by |
| 2394 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, |
| 2395 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a |
| 2396 | 100% compatible format. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2397 | |
| 2398 | Example: |
| 2399 | |
| 2400 | make TQM850L_config |
| 2401 | make oldconfig |
| 2402 | make dep |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2403 | make uImage |
| 2404 | |
| 2405 | The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to |
| 2406 | encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, |
| 2407 | CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: |
| 2408 | |
| 2409 | * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): |
| 2410 | |
| 2411 | * convert the kernel into a raw binary image: |
| 2412 | |
| 2413 | ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ |
| 2414 | -R .note -R .comment \ |
| 2415 | -S vmlinux linux.bin |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2416 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2417 | * compress the binary image: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2418 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2419 | gzip -9 linux.bin |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2420 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2421 | * package compressed binary image for U-Boot: |
| 2422 | |
| 2423 | mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ |
| 2424 | -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ |
| 2425 | -d linux.bin.gz uImage |
| 2426 | |
| 2427 | |
| 2428 | The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use |
| 2429 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or |
| 2430 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 |
| 2431 | byte header containing information about target architecture, |
| 2432 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time |
| 2433 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. |
| 2434 | |
| 2435 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and |
| 2436 | print the header information, or to build new images. |
| 2437 | |
| 2438 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information |
| 2439 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2440 | checksum verification: |
| 2441 | |
| 2442 | tools/mkimage -l image |
| 2443 | -l ==> list image header information |
| 2444 | |
| 2445 | The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image |
| 2446 | from a "data file" which is used as image payload: |
| 2447 | |
| 2448 | tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ |
| 2449 | -n name -d data_file image |
| 2450 | -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' |
| 2451 | -O ==> set operating system to 'os' |
| 2452 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' |
| 2453 | -C ==> set compression type 'comp' |
| 2454 | -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) |
| 2455 | -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) |
| 2456 | -n ==> set image name to 'name' |
| 2457 | -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' |
| 2458 | |
| 2459 | Right now, all Linux kernels use the same load address (0x00000000), |
| 2460 | but the entry point address depends on the kernel version: |
| 2461 | |
| 2462 | - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2463 | - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2464 | |
| 2465 | So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: |

| 2520 | Installing a Linux Image: |
| 2521 | ------------------------- |
| 2522 | |
| 2523 | To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, |
| 2524 | you must convert the image to S-Record format: |
| 2525 | |
| 2526 | objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec |
| 2527 | |
| 2528 | The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot |
| 2529 | image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to |
| 2530 | address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to |
| 2531 | specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' |
| 2532 | command. |
| 2533 | |
| 2534 | Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the |
| 2535 | TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): |
| 2536 | |
| 2537 | => erase 40100000 401FFFFF |
| 2538 | |
| 2539 | .......... done |
| 2540 | Erased 8 sectors |
| 2541 | |
| 2542 | => loads 40100000 |

| 2550 | ## Start Addr = 0x00000000 |
| 2551 | |
| 2552 | |
| 2553 | You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; |
| 2554 | this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data |
| 2555 | corruption happened: |
| 2556 | |
| 2557 | => imi 40100000 |

| 2569 | ----------- |
| 2570 | |
| 2571 | The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in |
| 2572 | memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents |
| 2573 | of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as |
| 2574 | parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the |
| 2575 | "printenv" and "setenv" commands: |
| 2576 | |
| 2577 | |
| 2578 | => printenv bootargs |
| 2579 | bootargs=root=/dev/ram |
| 2580 | |

wdenk | 4fc9569 | 2003-02-28 00:49:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2651 | More About U-Boot Image Types: |
| 2652 | ------------------------------ |
| 2653 | |
| 2654 | U-Boot supports the following image types: |
| 2655 | |
| 2656 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2657 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave |
| 2658 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from |
| 2659 | the Standalone Program. |
wdenk | 4fc9569 | 2003-02-28 00:49:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2660 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2661 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs |
| 2662 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device |
| 2663 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot |
| 2664 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. |
wdenk | 4fc9569 | 2003-02-28 00:49:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2665 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2666 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is |
| 2667 | being started. |
wdenk | 4fc9569 | 2003-02-28 00:49:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2668 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2669 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like |
| 2670 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want |
| 2671 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot |
| 2672 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get |
| 2673 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. |

wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2675 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each |
| 2676 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network |
| 2677 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". |
| 2678 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by |
| 2679 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to |
| 2680 | a multiple of 4 bytes). |

wdenk | 4fc9569 | 2003-02-28 00:49:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2682 | "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2683 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to |
| 2684 | flash memory. |

wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2687 | U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially |
| 2688 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) |
| 2689 | as command interpreter. |

| 2692 | Standalone HOWTO: |
| 2693 | ================= |
| 2694 | |
| 2695 | One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and |
| 2696 | run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of |
| 2697 | U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. |
| 2698 | |
| 2699 | Two simple examples are included with the sources: |
| 2700 | |
| 2701 | "Hello World" Demo: |
| 2702 | ------------------- |
| 2703 | |
| 2704 | 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo |
| 2705 | application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. |
| 2706 | It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it |
| 2707 | like that: |
| 2708 | |
| 2709 | => loads |
| 2710 | ## Ready for S-Record download ... |
| 2711 | ~>examples/hello_world.srec |

| 2713 | [file transfer complete] |
| 2714 | [connected] |
| 2715 | ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 |
| 2716 | |
| 2717 | => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test. |
| 2718 | ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... |
| 2719 | Hello World |
| 2720 | argc = 7 |
| 2721 | argv[0] = "40004" |
| 2722 | argv[1] = "Hello" |
| 2723 | argv[2] = "World!" |
| 2724 | argv[3] = "This" |
| 2725 | argv[4] = "is" |
| 2726 | argv[5] = "a" |
| 2727 | argv[6] = "test." |
| 2728 | argv[7] = "<NULL>" |
| 2729 | Hit any key to exit ... |
| 2730 | |
| 2731 | ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 |
| 2732 | |
| 2733 | Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt |
| 2734 | handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'. |
| 2735 | Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second. |
| 2736 | The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.' |
| 2737 | character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be |
| 2738 | controlled by the following keys: |
| 2739 | |
| 2740 | ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers |
| 2741 | b - enable interrupts and start timer |
| 2742 | e - stop timer and disable interrupts |
| 2743 | q - quit application |
| 2744 | |

| 2799 | ============= |
| 2800 | |
| 2801 | Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host |
| 2802 | (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx). |
| 2803 | |
| 2804 | Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on |
| 2805 | NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also |
| 2806 | need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make). |
| 2807 | Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files; |
| 2808 | attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is |
| 2809 | missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually: |
| 2810 | |
| 2811 | # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include |
| 2812 | # mkdir powerpc |
| 2813 | # ln -s powerpc machine |
| 2814 | # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h |
| 2815 | # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST |
| 2816 | |
| 2817 | Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native |
| 2818 | and U-Boot include files. |
| 2819 | |
| 2820 | Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a |
| 2821 | stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel |
| 2822 | proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source |
| 2823 | tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the |
| 2824 | meantime, send mail to bruno@exet-ag.de and/or wd@denx.de for |
| 2825 | details. |
| 2826 | |
| 2827 | |
| 2828 | Implementation Internals: |
| 2829 | ========================= |
| 2830 | |
| 2831 | The following is not intended to be a complete description of every |
| 2832 | implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the |
| 2833 | inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom |
| 2834 | hardware. |
| 2835 | |
| 2836 | |
| 2837 | Initial Stack, Global Data: |
| 2838 | --------------------------- |
| 2839 | |
| 2840 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot |
| 2841 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to |
| 2842 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). |
| 2843 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS |
| 2844 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working |
| 2845 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation |
| 2846 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU |
| 2847 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and |

| 2858 | |
| 2859 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it |
| 2860 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not |
| 2861 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness |
| 2862 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of |
| 2863 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's |
| 2864 | beyond the scope of this list to expain the details, but you |
| 2865 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and |
| 2866 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. |
| 2867 | |
| 2868 | OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It |
| 2869 | is another option for the system designer to use as an |
| 2870 | initial stack/ram area prior to SDRAM being available. Either |
| 2871 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your |
| 2872 | board designers haven't used it for something that would |
| 2873 | cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not |
| 2874 | used. |
| 2875 | |
| 2876 | CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere |
| 2877 | with your processor/board/system design. The default value |
| 2878 | you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in |
| 2879 | Walnut405.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger |
| 2880 | than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set |
| 2881 | it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources |
| 2882 | that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in |
| 2883 | start.S has been around a while and should work as is when |
| 2884 | you get the config right. |

| 2890 | code for the initialization procedures: |
| 2891 | |
| 2892 | * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt |
| 2893 | to write it. |
| 2894 | |
| 2895 | * Do not use any unitialized global data (or implicitely initialized |
| 2896 | as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2897 | zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2898 | |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2899 | * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2900 | that. |
| 2901 | |
| 2902 | Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use |
| 2903 | normal global data to share information beween the code. But it |
| 2904 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly |
| 2905 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all |
| 2906 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ |
| 2907 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of |
| 2908 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we |
| 2909 | place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we |
| 2910 | reserve for this purpose. |
| 2911 | |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2912 | When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2913 | relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by |
| 2914 | GCC's implementation. |
| 2915 | |
| 2916 | For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: |
| 2917 | R1: stack pointer |
| 2918 | R2: TOC pointer |
| 2919 | R3-R4: parameter passing and return values |
| 2920 | R5-R10: parameter passing |
| 2921 | R13: small data area pointer |
| 2922 | R30: GOT pointer |
| 2923 | R31: frame pointer |
| 2924 | |
| 2925 | (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.) |
| 2926 | |
| 2927 | ==> U-Boot will use R29 to hold a pointer to the global data |
| 2928 | |
| 2929 | Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the |
| 2930 | address of the global data structure is known at compile time), |
| 2931 | but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat |
| 2932 | smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on |
| 2933 | average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, |
| 2934 | 624 text + 127 data). |
| 2935 | |
| 2936 | On ARM, the following registers are used: |
| 2937 | |
| 2938 | R0: function argument word/integer result |
| 2939 | R1-R3: function argument word |
| 2940 | R9: GOT pointer |
| 2941 | R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) |
| 2942 | R11: argument (frame) pointer |
| 2943 | R12: temporary workspace |
| 2944 | R13: stack pointer |
| 2945 | R14: link register |
| 2946 | R15: program counter |
| 2947 | |
| 2948 | ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data |
| 2949 | |
| 2950 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2951 | Memory Management: |
| 2952 | ------------------ |
| 2953 | |
| 2954 | U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the |
| 2955 | MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. |
| 2956 | |
| 2957 | The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory |
| 2958 | controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each |
| 2959 | memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several |
| 2960 | physical memory banks. |
| 2961 | |
| 2962 | U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on |
| 2963 | TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After |
| 2964 | booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself |
| 2965 | to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some |
| 2966 | memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CFG_MALLOC_LEN |
| 2967 | configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board |
| 2968 | Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). |
| 2969 | |
| 2970 | Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB |
| 2971 | of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). |
| 2972 | |
| 2973 | So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like |
| 2974 | this: |
| 2975 | |
| 2976 | 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code |
| 2977 | : |
| 2978 | 0x0000 1FFF |
| 2979 | 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use |
| 2980 | : |
| 2981 | : |
| 2982 | |
| 2983 | : |
| 2984 | : |
| 2985 | 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) |
| 2986 | 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data |
| 2987 | 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena |
| 2988 | : |
| 2989 | 0x00FD FFFF |
| 2990 | 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code |
| 2991 | ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer |
| 2992 | ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) |
| 2993 | 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] |
| 2994 | |
| 2995 | |
| 2996 | System Initialization: |
| 2997 | ---------------------- |
| 2998 | |
| 2999 | In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point |
| 3000 | (on most PowerPC systens at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset |
| 3001 | configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3002 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3003 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) |
| 3004 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs |
| 3005 | which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked |
| 3006 | part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, |
| 3007 | the caches and the SIU. |
| 3008 | |
| 3009 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a |
| 3010 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries |
| 3011 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash |
| 3012 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is |
| 3013 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a |
| 3014 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM |
| 3015 | banks. |
| 3016 | |
| 3017 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of |
wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3018 | different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3019 | bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address |
| 3020 | 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create |
| 3021 | contiguous memory starting from 0. |
| 3022 | |
| 3023 | Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area |
| 3024 | and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board |
| 3025 | Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM |
| 3026 | pages, and the final stack is set up. |
| 3027 | |
| 3028 | Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; |
| 3029 | until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are |
| 3030 | running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a |
| 3031 | new address in RAM. |

| 3098 | |
| 3099 | All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel |
| 3100 | coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" in your Linux |
| 3101 | kernel source directory. |
| 3102 | |
| 3103 | Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts |
| 3104 | in Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style |
| 3105 | comments (//) in your code. |
| 3106 | |
| 3107 | Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned |
| 3108 | with a request to reformat the changes. |

| 3110 | |
| 3111 | Submitting Patches: |
| 3112 | ------------------- |
| 3113 | |
| 3114 | Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to |
| 3115 | establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules |
| 3116 | may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. |
| 3117 | |
| 3118 | |
| 3119 | When you send a patch, please include the following information with |
| 3120 | it: |
| 3121 | |
| 3122 | * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes |
| 3123 | this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the |
| 3124 | patch actually fixes something. |
| 3125 | |
| 3126 | * For new features: a description of the feature and your |
| 3127 | implementation. |
| 3128 | |
| 3129 | * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) |
| 3130 | |
| 3131 | * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file |
| 3132 | |
| 3133 | * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this |
| 3134 | board to the MAKEALL script, too. |
| 3135 | |
| 3136 | * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to |
| 3137 | document these in the README file. |
| 3138 | |
| 3139 | * The patch itself. If you are accessing the CVS repository use "cvs |
| 3140 | update; cvs diff -puRN"; else, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your |
| 3141 | version of diff does not support these options, then get the latest |
| 3142 | version of GNU diff. |

| 3160 | |
| 3161 | * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched |
| 3162 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported |
| 3163 | for any of the boards. |
| 3164 | |
| 3165 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch |
| 3166 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be |
| 3167 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. |
| 3168 | |
| 3169 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not |
| 3170 | add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! |
| 3171 | When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only |
| 3172 | (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature |
| 3173 | disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your |
| 3174 | modification. |
