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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000239Software Configuration:
240=======================
241
242Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
243rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
244
245There are two classes of configuration variables:
246
247* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
248 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
249 "CONFIG_".
250
251* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
252 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
253 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200254 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000255
256Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
257identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
258do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
259links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
260as an example here.
261
262
263Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
264---------------------------------------------------
265
266For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
267configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
268
269Example: For a TQM823L module type:
270
271 cd u-boot
272 make TQM823L_config
273
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200274For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000275e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
276directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
277
278
279Configuration Options:
280----------------------
281
282Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
283such information is kept in a configuration file
284"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
285
286Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
287"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
288
289
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000290Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
291kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
292build a config tool - later.
293
294
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000295The following options need to be configured:
296

York Sun2394a0f2012-10-08 07:44:30 +0000371 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
372
373 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
374 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
375 compliance, among other possible reasons.
376
Kumar Galaf4fb90f2011-02-18 05:40:54 -0600377 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
378
379 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
380 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
381 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
382
Kumar Gala179b1b22011-05-20 00:39:21 -0500383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT

386 tree nodes for the given platform.
387
Prabhakar Kushwahaa6a30622012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000388 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
389
390 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
391 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
392 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
393 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
394 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
395 purpose.
396
Scott Wood80806962012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000397 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
398
399 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
400 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
401 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
402
403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
404 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
405
406 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
407 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
408
409 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
410 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
411 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
412 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
413
414 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
415 this erratum.
416

Aneesh Vb8e40802012-03-08 07:20:19 +0000480 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
481
482 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
483 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
484 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
485 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
486 GCC.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000489 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
490
491 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
492 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
493 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
494 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
495 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
496 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
497 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000498 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100499 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200539 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
540
541 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
542 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
543 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
544 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
545 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
546 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
547
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000548 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
549
550 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
551 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
552 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
553 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
554 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
555 in a single configuration file and the machine type is

608
609 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
610 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
611 this variable to initialize the extra register.
612
613 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
614
615 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
616 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
617 variable to flush the UART at init time.

Javier Martinez Canillas141e0112013-01-07 01:35:20 +0000619 CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT
620
621 16550 UART set the Transmitter Empty (TEMT) Bit when all output
622 has finished and the transmitter is totally empty. U-Boot waits
623 for this bit to be set to initialize the serial console. On some
624 broken platforms this bit is not set in SPL making U-Boot to
625 hang while waiting for TEMT. Define this option to avoid it.

Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200715 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
716 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000718- Safe printf() functions
719 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
720 the printf() functions. These are defined in
721 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
722 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
723 If this option is not given then these functions will
724 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
725 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
726
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000727- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
728 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
729 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000730 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
731 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000732
733 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
734 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
735 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
736 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
737 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
738 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
739 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
740 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
741 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
742 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
743 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
744 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
745
746- Autoboot Command:
747 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
748 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
749 define a command string that is automatically executed
750 when no character is read on the console interface
751 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
752
753 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000754 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
755 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
756 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757
758 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000759 The value of these goes into the environment as
760 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
761 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200762 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000763
764- Pre-Boot Commands:
765 CONFIG_PREBOOT
766
767 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
768 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
769 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
770 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
771 entering interactive mode.
772
773 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
774 automatically generated or modified. For an example
775 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
776 modified when the user holds down a certain
777 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
778 booting the systems
779
780- Serial Download Echo Mode:
781 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
782 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
783 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
784 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
785 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
786 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
787 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
788
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500789- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000790 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
791 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200792 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000793
794- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500795 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
796 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000797 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
798 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500799 and augmenting with additional #define's
800 for wanted commands.

906 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400908 Other Commands:
909 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000910
911 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500912 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000913 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
914 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
915 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
916 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
917 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
918 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000919
920
921 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
922
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000923- Device tree:
924 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
925 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
926 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
927 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
928 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
929 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
930
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000931 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
932 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000933
934 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
935 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
936 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
937 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
938 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
939 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000940
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000941 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
942 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
943 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
944 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
945
946 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
947
948 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
949 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
950 still use the individual files if you need something more
951 exotic.
952
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000953- Watchdog:
954 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
955 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000956 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
957 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
958 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
959 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
960 available, then no further board specific code should
961 be needed to use it.
962
963 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
964 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
965 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
966 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000967
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +0000968- U-Boot Version:
969 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
970 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
971 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
972 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +0200973 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
974 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +0000975
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000976- Real-Time Clock:
977
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500978 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000979 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
980 following options:
981
982 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
983 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +0000984 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +0000991 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200992 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +0200993 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
994 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000995
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +0000996 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface

1306 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1307 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001308 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1309 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1310 the appropriate value in Hz.

Wolfgang Denk825223d2011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001416 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001417 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1418 support, and should also define these other macros:

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001444 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1445 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1446 defined in your board-specific files.
1447 The only board using this so far is RBC823.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001501 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1502
1503 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1504 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1505 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1506 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1507 a per-section basis.
1508
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001509 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1510
1511 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1512 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1513 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1514 is slow.
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001515
Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001516 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8

1523 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1524
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001525- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001526
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001527 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1528 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1529 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001530 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001531 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1532 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1533 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1534 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001535
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001536 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1537
1538 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1539 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1540 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1541 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1542 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1543 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1544
1545 Example:
1546 setenv splashpos m,m
1547 => image at center of screen
1548
1549 setenv splashpos 30,20
1550 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1551
1552 setenv splashpos -10,m
1553 => vertically centered image
1554 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1555
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001556- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1557
1558 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1559 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1560 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1561
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001562- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1563
1564 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1565 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1566 bmp command.
1567
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001568- Do compresssing for memory range:
1569 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1570
1571 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1572 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1573
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001574- Compression support:
1575 CONFIG_BZIP2
1576
1577 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1578 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1579 compressed images are supported.
1580
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001581 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001582 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001583 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001584
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001585 CONFIG_LZMA
1586
1587 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1588 images is included.
1589
1590 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1591 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1592 formula:
1593
1594 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1595
1596 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1597 and Literal pos bits.
1598
1599 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1600 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1601 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1602 a very small buffer.
1603
1604 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1605 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001606 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1614
1615 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1616
1617 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1618
1619 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001620 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001621
1622 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1623
1624 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1625 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1626 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1627 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1628
1629 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1630
1631 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

1654- Server IP address:
1655 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1656
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001657 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001658 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001661 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1662
1663 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1664 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1665
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001666- Gateway IP address:
1667 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1668
1669 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1670 default router where packets to other networks are
1671 sent to.
1672 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1673
1674- Subnet mask:
1675 CONFIG_NETMASK
1676
1677 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1678 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1679 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1680 forwarded through a router.
1681 (Environment variable "netmask")
1682
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001683- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1684 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1685
1686 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1687 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001688 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001689 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1690 multicast group.
1691
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001692- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1693 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1694
1695 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1696 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1697 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1698 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1699 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1700 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1701 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1702 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001703 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001704
1705 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1706 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1707 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1708 4th and following
1709 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1710
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001711- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001712 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1713 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001714
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001715 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1716 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1717 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1718 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1719 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1720 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1721 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1722 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1723 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1724 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1725 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1726 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001727 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001728
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001729 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1730 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001731
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001732 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1733 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1734 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1735 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1736 is not available.
1737
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001738 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1739 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1740 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1741 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1742 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1743 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1744 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001745 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001746
1747 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1748 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1749 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001750 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001751 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1752 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001753
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001754 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1755
1756 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1757 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1758 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1759 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1760 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1761 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1762 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1763 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1764 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1765 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1766 this delay.
1767
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001768 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1769 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1770 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1771 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1772 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1773
1774 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1775
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001776 - CDP Options:
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00001777 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001778
1779 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1780
1781 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1782
1783 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1784 of the device.
1785
1786 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1787
1788 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1789 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001790 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001791
1792 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1793
1794 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1795 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1796
1797 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1798
1799 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1800
1801 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1802
1803 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1804
1805 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1806
1807 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1808
1809 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1810
1811 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1812 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1813
1814 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1815
1816 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1817
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001818- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1819
1820 Several configurations allow to display the current
1821 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1822 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1823 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1824 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1825 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1826 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1827 feature in U-Boot.
1828
1829- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1830
1831 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1832 on those systems that support this (optional)
1833 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1834
1835- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1836
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001837 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001838 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001839 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001840
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001841 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001842 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001843 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1844 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001845 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001846
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001847 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001848
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001849 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001850 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1851 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001852
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001853 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001854 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001855
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001856 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001857 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001858 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001859 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001860
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001861 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02001862 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001863 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1864 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1865 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001866
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05001867 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1868
1869 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1870 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1871 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1872 commands until the slave device responds.
1873
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001874 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001875
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001876 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1877 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1878 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001879
1880 I2C_INIT
1881
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001882 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001883 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001884
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001885 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001886
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001887 I2C_PORT
1888
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001889 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1890 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1891 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001892
1893 I2C_ACTIVE
1894
1895 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1896 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1897 define can be null.
1898
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001899 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1900
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001901 I2C_TRISTATE
1902
1903 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1904 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1905 define can be null.
1906
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001907 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1908
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001909 I2C_READ
1910
1911 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1912 FALSE if it is low.
1913
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001914 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1915
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001916 I2C_SDA(bit)
1917
1918 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1919 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1920
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001921 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001922 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \

wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001924
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001925 I2C_SCL(bit)
1926
1927 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1928 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1929
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001930 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001931 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001934 I2C_DELAY
1935
1936 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1937 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001938 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001939 like:
1940
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001941 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001942
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04001943 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1944
1945 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1946 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1947 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1948 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1949
1950 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1951 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001954
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001955 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1956 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1957 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1958 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1959 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1960 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1961 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1962 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001963
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04001964 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1965
1966 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1967 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1968 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1969 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1970 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1971 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1972 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1973 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001975 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1976
1977 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1978 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1979 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1980
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001981 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1982
1983 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001984 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1985 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001986 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001988 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001989
1990 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001991 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001992 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1993 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001994
1995 e.g.
1996 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001997 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001998
1999 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2000
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002001 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002003
2004 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2005

Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002007
2008 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2009 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2010
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002011 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002012
2013 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2014 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2015
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002016 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002017
2018 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2019 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2020
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002021 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002022
2023 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2024 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2025 specified DTT device.
2026
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002027 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2028
2029 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
Marcel Ziswileraea68562007-12-30 03:30:46 +01002030 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002031
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02002032 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2033
2034 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2035 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2036 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2037 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2038 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2039 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2040
2041 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2042 feature!
2043
2044 Example:
2045 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2046 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2047 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2048
2049 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2050
2051 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2052 of I2C Busses with muxes:
2053
2054 => i2c bus
2055 Busses reached over muxes:
2056 Bus ID: 2
2057 reached over Mux(es):
2058 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2059 Bus ID: 3
2060 reached over Mux(es):
2061 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2062 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2063 =>
2064
2065 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
Michael Jones9c5ef8d2011-07-14 22:09:28 +00002066 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2067 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02002068 the channel 4.
2069
2070 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
Michael Jones9c5ef8d2011-07-14 22:09:28 +00002071 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02002072 the 2 muxes.
2073
2074 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2075 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2076 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2077 to add this option to other architectures.
2078
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002079 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2080
2081 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2082 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2083 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2084 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2085 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2086 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2087 the other.

2109 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2110 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2111 defined, the board configuration must define several
2112 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

2191
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002192 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2193 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002194
2195- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2196
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002197 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2198 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002199 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002200 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2201 protects these variables from casual modification by
2202 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2203 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002204 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002205
2206 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2207 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002208 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002209 these parameters.
2210
2211 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2212 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002213 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002214 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2215 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2216 read-only.]
2217
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002218 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2219 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2220 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2221 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2222
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002223- Protected RAM:
2224 CONFIG_PRAM
2225
2226 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2227 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2228 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2229 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2230 this default value by defining an environment
2231 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2232 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2233 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2234 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2235 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2236 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2237 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2238
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002239 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002240 saveenv
2241
2242 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2243 either, which results in a memory region that will
2244 not be affected by reboots.
2245
2246 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2247 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2248 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2249 following board configurations are known to be
2250 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002256- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2257 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2258 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2259 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2260 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2261 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2262 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2263
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002264- Error Recovery:
2265 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2266
2267 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2268 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2269 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002270 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002271 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2272 useful during development since you can try to debug
2273 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2274
2275 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2276
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002277 This variable defines the number of retries for
2278 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2279 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2280 default value of 5 is used.

2285
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002286 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2287
2288 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2289 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2290 try longer timeout such as
2291 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002295
2296 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2297
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002298 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2299 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002300
2301
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002302 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002303
2304 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2305 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2306 powerful command line syntax like
2307 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2308 constructs ("shell scripts").
2309
2310 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2311 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2312
2313
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002314 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002315
2316 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2317 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2318 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2319
2320 Note:
2321
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002322 In the current implementation, the local variables
2323 space and global environment variables space are
2324 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2325 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2326 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2327 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2328 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002329
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002330 Global environment variables are those you use
2331 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2332 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2333 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002334
2335 To store commands and special characters in a
2336 variable, please use double quotation marks
2337 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2338 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2339 symbols.

Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002341- Commandline Editing and History:
2342 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2343
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002344 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkc80857e2006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002345 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002346
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002347- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002348 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2349
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002350 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2351 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002352 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002353
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002354 For example, place something like this in your
2355 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002356
2357 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2358 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2359 "myvar2=value2\0"
2360
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002361 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2362 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2363 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2364 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002365 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002366 You better know what you are doing here.
2367
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002368 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2369 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002370 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002371 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002372
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002373 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2374
2375 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2376 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2377 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2378
2379 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2380
2381 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2382 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2383 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2384 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2385 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2386
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002387 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2388
2389 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2390 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2391 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2392
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002393 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2394
2395 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2396 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2397 that so that the environment is not available until
2398 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2399 this is instead controlled by the value of
2400 /config/load-environment.
2401
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002402- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002403 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2404
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002405 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2406 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2407 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002408
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002409- Serial Flash support
2410 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2411
2412 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2413 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2414
2415 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2416 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2417 commands.
2418
2419 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2420 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2421 flash is present on the system.
2422
2423 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2424 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2425 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2426 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2427
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002428 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2429
2430 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2431 test ('sf test').
2432
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002433- SystemACE Support:
2434 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2435
2436 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2437 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002438 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002439 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002440
2441 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002442 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002443
2444 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2445 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2446
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002447- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2448 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2449
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002450 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002451 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002452 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002453 number generator is used.
2454
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002455 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2456 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2457 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2458
2459 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002460 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2461 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2462 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2463 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2464 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2465 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2466
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002467- Hashing support:
2468 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2469
2470 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2471 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2472
2473 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2474
2475 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2476 size a little.
2477
2478 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2479 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2480
2481 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2482 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2483
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002484- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002485 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2486
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002487 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2488 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2489 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2490 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2491 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2492 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002493
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002494- Detailed boot stage timing
2495 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2496 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2497 of the boot process.
2498
2499 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2500 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2501 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2502 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2503 the limit, recording will stop.
2504
2505 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2506 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2507
2508 Timer summary in microseconds:
2509 Mark Elapsed Stage
2510 0 0 reset
2511 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2512 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2513 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2514 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2515 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2516 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2517 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2518
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002519 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2520 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2521 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2522
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002523 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2524 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2525 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2526 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2527 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2528 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2529 For example:
2530
2531 bootstage {
2532 154 {
2533 name = "board_init_f";
2534 mark = <3575678>;
2535 };
2536 170 {
2537 name = "lcd";
2538 accum = <33482>;
2539 };
2540 };
2541
2542 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2721 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2722 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2723 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2724 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2725 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2726 configured panel size.

Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02002900[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002901

2906 CONFIG_HWFLOW
2907
2908- Modem debug support:
2909 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2910
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002911 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2912 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002913
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002914- Interrupt support (PPC):
2915
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002916 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2917 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002918 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002919 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002920 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002921 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002922 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002923 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2924 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2925 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002926
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002927- General:
2928
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002929 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2930 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2931 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002932 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002933 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy

2945------------------------------
2946
2947During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2948to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2949before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2950following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2951architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2952typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2953
2954- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
2955- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
2956- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
2957- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002987- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002988 If the board specific function
2989 extern int overwrite_console (void);
2990 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the

3008 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3009
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003010- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3011 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003012 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003013 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003014 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3015 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3016 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003017 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003018 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003019 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003020
3021 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3022 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3023 be touched.
3024
3025 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3026 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3027 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3028 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3029 problems.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003051 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3052 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3053 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3054 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003055
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003056- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:

3058
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003059- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003060 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3061 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003062 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003063 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3064

3070 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3071 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003072 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003073 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3074 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3075 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003076
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003077- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:

3087 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3088 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3089
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003090- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003109 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3110 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3111
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003112- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003113
3114 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3115 without this option such a download has to be
3116 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3117 copy from RAM to flash.
3118
3119 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3120 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003121 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3122 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003123 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

3134 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3135 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3136 to the MTD layer.
3137
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003138- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

3147 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3148 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3149 optionally available.
3150
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003151- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3152 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown

3155
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003156- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003157 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3158 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003159 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3160 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003161 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003162 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003200 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3201 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3202 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3203
3204 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3205 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3206 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3207 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3208 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3209 ".flags" variable.
3210
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003211- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3212 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3213 access flags.
3214
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003215The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3216of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3217following configurations:
3218
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003219- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3220
3221 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3222 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3223
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003224- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003225
3226 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3227
3228 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3229 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3230 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3231 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3232 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3233 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3234 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3235 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3236 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3237 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3238 between U-Boot and the environment.
3239
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003240 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003241
3242 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3243 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3244 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3245 for this sector is given here.
3246
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003247 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003248
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003249 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003250
3251 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3252 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003253 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003254
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003255 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003256
3257 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3258
3259
3260 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3261 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3262 the environment.
3263
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003264 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003265
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003266 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003267 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003268 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3269 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3270
3271 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3272 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3273 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3274 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3275 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3276 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3277 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3278 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3279 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3280
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003281 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3282 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003283
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003284 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003285 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003286 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003287 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003288
3289BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3290source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3291accordingly!
3292
3293
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003294- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003295
3296 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3297 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3298 environment.
3299
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003300 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3301 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003302
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003303 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003304 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3305 can just be read and written to, without any special
3306 provision.
3307
3308BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3309in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003310console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003311U-Boot will hang.
3312
3313Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3314environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3315keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3316to save the current settings.
3317
3318
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003319- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003320
3321 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3322 device and a driver for it.
3323
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003324 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3325 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003326
3327 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3328 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3329
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003330 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003331 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3332 The default address is zero.
3333
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003334 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003335 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3336 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3337 would require six bits.
3338
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003339 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003340 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003341 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003342
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003343 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003344 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3345 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3346
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003347 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003348 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3349 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3350 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3351 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3352 byte chips.
3353
3354 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3355 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3356 in the chip address.
3357
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003358 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003359 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3360
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003361 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3362 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3363 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3364
3365 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3366 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3367 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3368 EEPROM. For example:
3369
Wolfgang Denk16fa98a2010-06-13 17:48:15 +02003370 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003371
3372 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3373 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003374
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003375- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003376
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003377 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003378 want to use for the environment.
3379
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003380 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3381 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3382 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003383
3384 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3385 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3386 at the specified address.
3387
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003388- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3389
3390 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3391 want to use for the local device's environment.
3392
3393 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3394 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3395
3396 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3397 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3398 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003399 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003400
3401BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3402"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003403environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3404but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003405
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003406- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003407
3408 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3409 for the environment.
3410
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003411 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3412 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003413
3414 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003415 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3416 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003417
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003418 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003419
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003420 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003421 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3422 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003423 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003424 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3425
3426 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3427
3428 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3429 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3430 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3431 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3432 the range to be avoided.
3433
3434 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003435
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003436 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3437 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3438 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3439 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3440 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003441
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003442- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3443
3444 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3445 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3446 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3447
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003448- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003449
3450 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3451 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3452 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3453 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3454 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3455 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3456 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3457
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003458Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003459has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003460created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003461until then to read environment variables.
3462
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003463The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3464is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3465with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3466necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3467"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3468have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003469
3470Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3471the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003472use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003473
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003474- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003475 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003476
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003477 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003478 also needs to be defined.
3479
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003480- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003481 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003482
Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08003483- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3484 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3485 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3486 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3487 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3488 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3489
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00003490- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3491 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3492 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00003508
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003509 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3510 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003513- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3514 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3515 PowerPC SOCs.
3516
3517- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3518 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3519 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3520
3521 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3522 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3523
3524- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3525 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3526 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003527 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003528 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3529 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3530 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3531
3532 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3533 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3534
3535- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003536 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3537 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003538 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3539 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3540
3541- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3542 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3543 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3544 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3545
3546- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3547 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3548 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00003752- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
3753 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
3754
3755- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
3756 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00003757 to the given FEC; i. e.
3758 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00003759 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
3760
3761 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
3762
3763- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
3764 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
3765 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
3766
3767- CONFIG_RMII
3768 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
3769 Note that this is a global option, we can't
3770 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
3771
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003772- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
3773 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
3774 The syntax is:
3775
3776 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
3777
3778 Where address/count indicate a memory area
3779 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
3780 area should have.
3781
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00003782- CONFIG_LOOPW
3783 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05003784 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00003785
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00003786- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
3787 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
3788 "md/mw" commands.
3789 Examples:
3790
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00003791 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00003792 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
3793
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00003794 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00003795 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
3796
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00003797 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05003798 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00003799
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00003800- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00003801 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003802 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3803 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3804 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00003805
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003806 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3807 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3808 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3809 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00003810
Aneesh V552a3192011-07-13 05:11:07 +00003811- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02003812 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
3813 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
3814 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk336b2bc2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00003815
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00003816- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
3817 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
3818 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
3819 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
3820 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
3821 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
3822 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
3823 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
3824
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00003825- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
3826 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
3827 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
3828 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
3829 conditions but may increase the binary size.
3830
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00003831- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
3832 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
3833 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06003836Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3837-----------------------------------
3838
3839The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3840loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3841This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3842are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3843within that device.
3844
3845- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3846 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
3847 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3848 is also specified.
3849
3850- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3851 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
3852 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3853 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3854 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3855
3856- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3857 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3858 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3859 virtual address in NOR flash.
3860
3861- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3862 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3863 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3864
3865- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3866 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3867 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3868
3869- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3870 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3871 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3872
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00003873- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3874 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3875 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003876 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3877 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3878 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003880Building the Software:
3881======================
3882
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003883Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3884and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3885all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3886(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3887recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3888which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003889
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003890If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3891have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3892you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3893Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3894necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003895
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003896 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3897 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003898
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05003899Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3900 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3901 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3902 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3903
3904 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3905
3906 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3907 be executed on computers running Windows.
3908
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003909U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3910sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003911is done by typing:
3912
3913 make NAME_config
3914
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003915where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00003916rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00003917
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003918Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3919 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3920 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3921 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003922 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003923
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003924 make TQM823L_config
3925 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003926
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003927 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3928 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003929
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003930 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003931
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003932
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003933Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3934images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003935
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003936- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3937- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3938- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003939
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003940By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3941in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3942this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3943
39441. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3945
3946 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3947 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3948 make O=/tmp/build all
3949
39502. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3951
3952 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3953 make distclean
3954 make NAME_config
3955 make all
3956
3957Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3958variable.
3959
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003960
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003961Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3962for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3963native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003964
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003965
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003966If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3967to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3968steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003969
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000039701. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00003971 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3972 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000039732. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3974 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3975 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
39763. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3977 your board
39783. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3979 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
39804. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
39815. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3982 to be installed on your target system.
39836. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3984 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003985
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003986
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003987Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3988==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003989
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003990If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3991or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003992provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3993the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003994official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003995
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003996But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3997cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003998the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3999just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004000for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4001select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4002environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4003you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004004
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004005 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004006
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004007or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004008
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004009 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004010
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004011When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4012U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4013setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4014built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4015<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4016location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4017variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004018
4019 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4020 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4021 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4022
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004023With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4024log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4025during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004088Environment Variables:
4089======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004091U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4092can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004093
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004094Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4095"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4096without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4097environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4098working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4099environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004110
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004111 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004112
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004113 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004114
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004115 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4116 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4117 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4118 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4119 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4120 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004121 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4122 bootm_mapsize.
4123
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004124 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004125 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4126 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4127 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4128 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4129 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4130 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004131
4132 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4133 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4134 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4135 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4136 environment variable.
4137
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004138 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4139 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4140 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4141
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004142 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4143 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4144 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4145 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004146
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004147 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4148 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4149 be automatically started (by internally calling
4150 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004151
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004152 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4153 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4154 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4155 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4156 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004157
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004158 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4159 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004160 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4161 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4162 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4163 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4164 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4165 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4166 access it during the boot procedure.
4167
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004168 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4169 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4170 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4171 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4172 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4173 must be accessible by the kernel.
4174
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004175 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4176 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4177 defined.
4178
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004179 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4180 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4181 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4182 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4183 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4184
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004185 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4186 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4187 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4188 is usually what you want since it allows for
4189 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4190 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004191 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004192 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4193 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4194 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4195 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004196
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004197 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4198 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4199 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4200 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4201 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4202 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004203
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004204 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004205
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004206 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4207 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4208 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4209 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4210 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4211 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4212 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004213
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004214 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004228
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004229 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004230
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004231 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4232 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004233
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004234 => setenv ethact FEC
4235 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4236 => setenv ethact SCC
4237 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004238
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004239 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4240 available network interfaces.
4241 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4242
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004243 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004244 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4245 When set to "once" the network operation will
4246 fail when all the available network interfaces
4247 are tried once without success.
4248 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4249 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004250
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004251 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004252
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004253 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004254 UDP source port.
4255
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004256 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4257 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4258
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004259 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4260 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4261
4262 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4263 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4264 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4265 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4266 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4267 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4268 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4269
4270 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004271 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004272 VLAN tagged frames.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004274The following image location variables contain the location of images
4275used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4276not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4277variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4278server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4279loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4280flash or offset in NAND flash.
4281
4282*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4283boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4284boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004293The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4294updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4295depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004296
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004297 bootfile - see above
4298 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4299 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4300 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4301 hostname - Target hostname
4302 ipaddr - see above
4303 netmask - Subnet Mask
4304 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4305 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004306

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004308There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004309
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004310 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4311 as type string and/or serial number
4312 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004313
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004314These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4315the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4316once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004317
4318
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004319Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004320
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004321 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4322 with the "version" command. This variable is
4323 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004330Callback functions for environment variables:
4331---------------------------------------------
4332
4333For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4334when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4335be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4336deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4337effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4338
4339The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4340U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4341
4342These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4343static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4344in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4345associations. The list must be in the following format:
4346
4347 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4348 list = entry[,list]
4349
4350If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4351Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4352
4353Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4354with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4355override any association in the static list. You can define
4356CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4357".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4361=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004362
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004363There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4364the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004365
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004366Old, simple command line parser:
4367--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004368
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004369- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4370- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004371- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004372- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4373 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004374 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004375- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4376 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004377
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004378Hush shell:
4379-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004380
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004381- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4382 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4383 until...do...done, ...
4384- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4385 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4386 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4387 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004388
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004389General rules:
4390--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004391
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004392(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4393 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4394 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4395 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004396
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004397(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004398 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004399 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4400 variables are not executed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004402Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4403=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004404
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004405Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004406such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4407"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004408
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004409Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4410MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4411"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004412
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004413If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4414in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4415ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4416variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004417
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004418o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4419 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004420
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004421o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4422 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4423 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004424
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004425o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4426 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004427
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004428o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4429 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4430 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004431
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004432o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4433 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004434
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004435If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004436will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004437may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4438The naming convention is as follows:
4439"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004440
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004441Image Formats:
4442==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004443
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004444U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4445images in two formats:
4446
4447New uImage format (FIT)
4448-----------------------
4449
4450Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4451to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4452components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4453SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4454
4455
4456Old uImage format
4457-----------------
4458
4459Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4460preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4461details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004462
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004463* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004477The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4478and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4479CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004480
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004481
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004482Linux Support:
4483==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004484
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004485Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4486easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4487U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004488
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004489U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4490special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4491"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4492instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4493serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004494
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004495- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4496 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4497 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004498
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004499- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4500 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004501
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004502- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4503 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4504 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4505 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4506 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4507 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004508

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004510Linux HOWTO:
4511============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004512
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004513Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4514---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004515
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004516U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4517configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4518(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4519Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004520
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004521But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004522
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004523Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4524include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004525Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4526and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004527as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004528
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004529
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004530Configuring the Linux kernel:
4531-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004533No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4534device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004535
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004536
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004537Building a Linux Image:
4538-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004539
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004540With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4541not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4542"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4543U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4544which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4545100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004546
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004547Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004548
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004549 make TQM850L_config
4550 make oldconfig
4551 make dep
4552 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004553
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004554The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4555encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4556CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004557
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004558* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004559
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004560* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004561
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004562 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4563 -R .note -R .comment \
4564 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004565
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004566* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004567
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004568 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004569
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004570* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004571
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004572 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4573 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4574 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004575
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004576
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004577The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4578with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4579combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4580byte header containing information about target architecture,
4581operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4582stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004583
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004584"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4585print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004586
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004587In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4588contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4589checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004590
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004591 tools/mkimage -l image
4592 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004593
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004594The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4595from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004596
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004597 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4598 -n name -d data_file image
4599 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4600 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4601 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4602 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4603 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4604 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4605 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4606 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004607
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00004608Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4609address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4610kernel version:

4639speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4640needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4641need to be uncompressed:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004670Installing a Linux Image:
4671-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004672
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004673To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4674you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004675
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004676 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004677
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004678The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4679image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4680address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4681specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4682command.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004850More About U-Boot Image Types:
4851------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004852
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004853U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004854
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004855 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4856 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4857 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4858 the Standalone Program.
4859 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4860 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4861 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4862 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4863 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4864 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4865 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4866 being started.
4867 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4868 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4869 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4870 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4871 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4872 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004873
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004874 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4875 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4876 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4877 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4878 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4879 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004880
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004881 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4882 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4883 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004884
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004885 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4886 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4887 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4888 as command interpreter.

4891-------------------------
4892
4893On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4894using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4895as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4896
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00004897Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4898kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4899address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4900format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004906One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4907run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4908U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004909
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004910Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004915'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4916application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4917It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4918like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004944Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4945handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4946Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4947The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4948character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4949controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004950
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004951 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4952 b - enable interrupts and start timer

5013=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005014
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5016(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005017
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005018Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5019NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5020need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5021Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5022attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5023missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005024
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005025 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5026 # mkdir powerpc
5027 # ln -s powerpc machine
5028 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5029 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005030
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005031Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5032and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005033
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005034Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5035stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5036proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5037tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5042=========================

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005044The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5045implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5046inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5047hardware.

5051---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005052
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005053The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5054starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5055system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5056This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5057is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5058at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5059options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5060models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5061MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5062locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005064 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005072 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5073 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5074 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5075 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5076 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005077 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005078 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5079 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005080
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005081 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5082 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005083 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005084 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5085 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5086 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5087 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005088
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005089 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005090 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5091 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005092 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005093 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5094 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5095 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5096 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5097 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005102It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5103code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005104
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005105* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5106 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005107
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005108* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005109 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5110 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005112* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5113 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005114
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005115Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5116normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5117turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5118simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5119functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5120functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5121the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5122place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5123reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005124
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005125When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5126relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5127GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005132 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5133 R5-R10: parameter passing
5134 R13: small data area pointer
5135 R30: GOT pointer
5136 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005138 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5139 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5140 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5145 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5146 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5147 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5148 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5149 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005195Memory Management:
5196------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005197
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005198U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5199MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005200
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005201The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5202controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5203memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5204physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005205
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005206U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5207TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5208booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5209to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005210memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005211configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5212Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005213
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005214Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5215of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005216
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005217So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5218this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005219
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005220 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005239
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005240System Initialization:
5241----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005242
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005243In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005244(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005245configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5246To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5247To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5248initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5249which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5250part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5251the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005252
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005253Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5254preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5255(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5256on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5257programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5258simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5259banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005260
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005261When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5262different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5263bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
52640x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5265contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005266
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005267Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5268and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5269Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5270pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005271
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005272Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5273until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5274running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5275new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005355All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005356coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005357"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005358
5359Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5360MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5361reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5362sources.

Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005364Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5365Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5366in your code.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005368Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5369- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005370- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005371- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005372- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005438* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5439 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5440 for any of the boards.
5441
5442* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5443 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5444 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5447 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5448 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5449 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5450 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5451 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005453* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5454 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5455 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5456 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
