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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000226Software Configuration:
227=======================
228
229Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
230rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
231
232There are two classes of configuration variables:
233
234* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
235 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
236 "CONFIG_".
237
238* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
239 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
240 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200241 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000242
243Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
244identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
245do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
246links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
247as an example here.
248
249
250Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
251---------------------------------------------------
252
253For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
254configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
255
256Example: For a TQM823L module type:
257
258 cd u-boot
259 make TQM823L_config
260
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200261For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000262e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
263directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
264
265
266Configuration Options:
267----------------------
268
269Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
270such information is kept in a configuration file
271"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
272
273Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
274"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
275
276
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000277Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
278kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
279build a config tool - later.
280
281
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000282The following options need to be configured:

Prabhakar Kushwahaa6a30622012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000375 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
376
377 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
378 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
379 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
380 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
381 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
382 purpose.
383
Scott Wood80806962012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000384 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510

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

489
Aneesh Vb8e40802012-03-08 07:20:19 +0000490 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
491
492 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
493 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
494 better code density. For ARM architectures that support

501 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
502
503 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
504 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
505 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
506 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
507 set these options unless they apply!
508
Stephen Warren445d56c2013-03-27 17:06:41 +0000509- CPU timer options:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000517 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
518
519 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
520 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
521 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
522 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
523 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
524 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
525 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000526 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100527 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

566
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200567 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
568
569 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
570 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
571 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
572 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
573 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
574 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
575
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000576 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
577
578 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
579 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
580 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
581 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
582 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
583 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
584 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

637 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
638 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
639 this variable to initialize the extra register.
640
641 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
642
643 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
644 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
645 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000705 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
706 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
707 the "silent" environment variable. See
708 doc/README.silent for more information.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000710- Console Baudrate:
711 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
712 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200713 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100716- Console Rx buffer length
717 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
718 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100719 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100720 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
721 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
722 the SMC.
723
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000724- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200725 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
726 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
727 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
728 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
729 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
730 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
731 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200732 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200733 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000734
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200735 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
736 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000737
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000738- Safe printf() functions
739 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
740 the printf() functions. These are defined in
741 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
742 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
743 If this option is not given then these functions will
744 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
745 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
746
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000747- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
748 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
749 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000750 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
751 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000752
753 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
754 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
755 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
756 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
761 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
762 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
763 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
764 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
765
766- Autoboot Command:
767 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
768 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
769 define a command string that is automatically executed
770 when no character is read on the console interface
771 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
772
773 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000774 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
775 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
776 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000777
778 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000779 The value of these goes into the environment as
780 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
781 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200782 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000783
784- Pre-Boot Commands:
785 CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791 entering interactive mode.
792
793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794 automatically generated or modified. For an example
795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796 modified when the user holds down a certain
797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798 booting the systems
799
800- Serial Download Echo Mode:
801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

814- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500815 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
816 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000817 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
818 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500819 and augmenting with additional #define's
820 for wanted commands.

926 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
927 support you can write:
928
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500929 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
930 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000931
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400932 Other Commands:
933 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000934
935 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500936 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000937 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
938 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
939 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
940 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
941 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
942 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000943
944
945 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
946
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000947- Regular expression support:
948 CONFIG_REGEX
949 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
950 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
951 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
952 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
953
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000954- Device tree:
955 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
956 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
957 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
958 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
959 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
960 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
961
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000962 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
963 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000964
965 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
966 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
967 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
968 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
969 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
970 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000971
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000972 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
973 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
974 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
975 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
976
977 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
978
979 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
980 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
981 still use the individual files if you need something more
982 exotic.
983
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000984- Watchdog:
985 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
986 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000987 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
988 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
989 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
990 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
991 available, then no further board specific code should
992 be needed to use it.
993

Igor Grinbergac5f6ee2011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001367- ULPI Layer Support:
1368 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1369 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1370 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1371 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1372 viewport is supported.
1373 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1374 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001375 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1376 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1377 the appropriate value in Hz.

Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001412 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1413 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1414 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1415 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1416 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1417
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001418 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1419 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1420 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1421 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1422 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1423 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1622
1623 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1624 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1625
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001626- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001627
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001628 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1629 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1630 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001631 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001632 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1633 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1634 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1635 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001636
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001637 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1638
1639 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1640 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1641 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1642 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1643 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1644 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1645 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1646 there is no need to set this option.
1647
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001648 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1649
1650 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1651 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1652 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1653 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1654 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1655 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1656
1657 Example:
1658 setenv splashpos m,m
1659 => image at center of screen
1660
1661 setenv splashpos 30,20
1662 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1663
1664 setenv splashpos -10,m
1665 => vertically centered image
1666 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1667
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001668- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1669
1670 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1671 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1672 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1673
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001674- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1675
1676 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1677 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1678 bmp command.
1679
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001680- Do compresssing for memory range:
1681 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1682
1683 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1684 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1685
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001686- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001687 CONFIG_GZIP
1688
1689 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1690
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001691 CONFIG_BZIP2
1692
1693 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1694 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1695 compressed images are supported.
1696
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001697 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001698 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001699 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001700
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001701 CONFIG_LZMA
1702
1703 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1704 images is included.
1705
1706 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1707 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1708 formula:
1709
1710 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1711
1712 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1713 and Literal pos bits.
1714
1715 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1716 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1717 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1718 a very small buffer.
1719
1720 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1721 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001722 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001723
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001724 CONFIG_LZO
1725
1726 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1727 is included.
1728
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001729- MII/PHY support:
1730 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1731
1732 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1733
1734 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1735
1736 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1737
1738 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1739
1740 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001741 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001742
1743 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1744
1745 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1746 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1747 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1748 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1749
1750 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1751
1752 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1753 command issued before MII status register can be read
1754

1769
1770 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001771 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001772 determined through e.g. bootp.

1776 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1777
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001778 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001779 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001782 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1783
1784 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1785 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1786
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001787- Gateway IP address:
1788 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1789
1790 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1791 default router where packets to other networks are
1792 sent to.
1793 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1794
1795- Subnet mask:
1796 CONFIG_NETMASK
1797
1798 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1799 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1800 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1801 forwarded through a router.
1802 (Environment variable "netmask")
1803
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001804- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1805 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1806
1807 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1808 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001809 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001810 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1811 multicast group.
1812
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001813- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1814 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1815
1816 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1817 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1818 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1819 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1820 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1821 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1822 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1823 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001824 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001825
1826 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1827 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1828 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1829 4th and following
1830 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001849
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001850 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1851 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001852
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001853 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1854 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1855 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1856 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1857 is not available.
1858
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001859 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1860 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1861 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1862 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1863 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1864 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1865 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001866 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001867
1868 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1869 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1870 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001871 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001872 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1873 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001874
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001875 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1876
1877 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1878 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1879 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1880 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1881 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1882 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1883 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1884 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1885 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1886 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1887 this delay.
1888
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001889 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1890 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1891 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1892 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1893 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1894
1895 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

1904 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1905 of the device.
1906
1907 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1908
1909 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1910 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001911 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001939- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1940
1941 Several configurations allow to display the current
1942 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1943 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1944 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1945 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1946 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1947 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1948 feature in U-Boot.
1949
1950- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1951
1952 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1953 on those systems that support this (optional)
1954 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2003
2004 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2005 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2006 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this

2013 omit this define.
2014
2015 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2016 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected

2018 define.
2019
2020 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2021 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2022 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2023 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002050- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002051
2052 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2053 provides the following compelling advantages:
2054
2055 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2056 - approved multibus support
2057 - better i2c mux support
2058
2059 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002060
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002061 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2062 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2063 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002064
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002065 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002066 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002067 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2068 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002069 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002070
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002071 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002072
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002073 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002074 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002075
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002076 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002077 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002078 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002079 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002080
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002081 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002082 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002083 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2084 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2085 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002086
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002087 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2088
2089 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2090 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2091 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2092 commands until the slave device responds.
2093
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002094 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002095
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002096 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002097 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2098 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002099
2100 I2C_INIT
2101
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002102 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002103 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002104
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002105 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002106
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002107 I2C_PORT
2108
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002109 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2110 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2111 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002112
2113 I2C_ACTIVE
2114
2115 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2116 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2117 define can be null.
2118
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002119 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2120
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002121 I2C_TRISTATE
2122
2123 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2124 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2125 define can be null.
2126
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002127 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2128
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002129 I2C_READ
2130
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002131 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2132 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002133
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002134 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2135
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002136 I2C_SDA(bit)
2137
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002138 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2139 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002140
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002141 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002142 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002143 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002144
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002145 I2C_SCL(bit)
2146
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002147 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2148 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002149
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002150 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002151 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002152 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002153
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002154 I2C_DELAY
2155
2156 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2157 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002158 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002159 like:
2160
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002161 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002162
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002163 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2164
2165 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2166 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2167 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2168 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2169
2170 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2171 the generic GPIO functions.
2172
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002173 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002174
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002175 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2176 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2177 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2178 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2179 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2180 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2181 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2182 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002183
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002184 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2185
2186 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2187 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2188 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2189 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2190 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2191 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2192 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2193 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2194
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002195 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2196
2197 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2198 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2199 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2200
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002201 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2202
2203 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002204 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2205 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002206 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2207
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002208 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002209
2210 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002211 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002212 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2213 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002214
2215 e.g.
2216 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002217 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002218
2219 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2220
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002221 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002222 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002223
2224 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2225
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002226 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002227
2228 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2229 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2230
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002231 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002232
2233 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2234 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2235
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002236 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002237
2238 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2239 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2240
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002241 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002242
2243 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2244 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2245 specified DTT device.
2246
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002247 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2248
2249 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2250 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2251 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2252 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2253 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2254 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2255 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002257- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2258
2259 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2260 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and

2262
Yoshihiro Shimoda65bd9b42011-01-31 16:50:43 +09002263 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2264
2265 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently

2270 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2271 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2272
2273 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2274
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002275 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2276 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2277 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2278 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2279 defined, the board configuration must define several
2280 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2281 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2285 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2286 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2287 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.

2357- Configuration Management:
2358 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2359
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002360 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2361 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002362
2363- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2364
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002365 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2366 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002367 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002368 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2369 protects these variables from casual modification by
2370 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2371 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002372 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002373
2374 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2375 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002376 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002377 these parameters.
2378
2379 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2380 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002381 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002382 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2383 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2384 read-only.]
2385
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002386 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2387 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2388 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2389 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2390
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002391- Protected RAM:
2392 CONFIG_PRAM
2393
2394 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2395 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2396 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2397 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2398 this default value by defining an environment
2399 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2400 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2401 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2402 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2403 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2404 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2405 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2406
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002407 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002408 saveenv
2409
2410 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2411 either, which results in a memory region that will
2412 not be affected by reboots.
2413
2414 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2415 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2416 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2417 following board configurations are known to be
2418 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002424- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2425 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2426 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2427 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2428 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2429 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2430 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2431
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002432- Error Recovery:
2433 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2434
2435 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2436 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2437 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002438 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002439 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2440 useful during development since you can try to debug
2441 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2442
2443 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2444
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002445 This variable defines the number of retries for
2446 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2447 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2448 default value of 5 is used.

2453
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002454 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2455
2456 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2457 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2458 try longer timeout such as
2459 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

2469
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002470 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002471
2472 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2473 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2474 powerful command line syntax like
2475 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2476 constructs ("shell scripts").
2477
2478 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2479 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2480
2481
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002482 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002483
2484 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2485 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2486 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2487
2488 Note:
2489
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002490 In the current implementation, the local variables
2491 space and global environment variables space are
2492 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2493 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2494 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2495 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2496 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002497
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002498 Global environment variables are those you use
2499 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2500 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2501 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002502
2503 To store commands and special characters in a
2504 variable, please use double quotation marks
2505 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2506 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2507 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002516 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2517
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002518 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2519 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002520 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002521
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002522 For example, place something like this in your
2523 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002524
2525 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2526 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2527 "myvar2=value2\0"
2528
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002529 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2530 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2531 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2532 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002533 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002534 You better know what you are doing here.
2535
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002536 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2537 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002538 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002539 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002541 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2542
2543 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2544 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2545 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2546
2547 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2548
2549 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2550 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2551 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2552 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2553 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2554
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002555 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2556
2557 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2558 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2559 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2560
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002561 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2562
2563 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2564 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2565 that so that the environment is not available until
2566 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2567 this is instead controlled by the value of
2568 /config/load-environment.

2572
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002573 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2574 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard

wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002576
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002577- Serial Flash support
2578 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2579
2580 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2581 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2582
2583 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2584 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2585 commands.
2586
2587 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2588 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2589 flash is present on the system.

2605
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002606- SystemACE Support:
2607 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2608
2609 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2610 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002611 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002612 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002613
2614 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002615 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002616
2617 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2618 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2619
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002620- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2621 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2622
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002623 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002624 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002625 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002626 number generator is used.
2627
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002628 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2629 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2630 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2631
2632 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002633 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2634 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2635 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2636 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2637 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2638 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2639
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002640- Hashing support:
2641 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2642
2643 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2644 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2645
2646 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2647
2648 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2649 size a little.
2650
2651 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2652 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2653
2654 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2655 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2656
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002657- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2658 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2659 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2660 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2661
2662 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2663 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2664 a boot from specific media.
2665
2666 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2667 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2668 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2669 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2670 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2671
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002672- Signing support:
2673 CONFIG_RSA
2674
2675 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2676 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2677
2678 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2679 option.
2680
2681
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002682- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002683 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2684
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002685 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2686 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2687 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2688 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2689 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2690 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002691
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002692- Detailed boot stage timing
2693 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2694 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2695 of the boot process.
2696
2697 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2698 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2699 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2700 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2701 the limit, recording will stop.
2702
2703 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2704 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2705
2706 Timer summary in microseconds:
2707 Mark Elapsed Stage
2708 0 0 reset
2709 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2710 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2711 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2712 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2713 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2714 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2715 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2716
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002717 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2718 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2719 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2720
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002721 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2722 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2723 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2724 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2725 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2726 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2727 For example:
2728
2729 bootstage {
2730 154 {
2731 name = "board_init_f";
2732 mark = <3575678>;
2733 };
2734 170 {
2735 name = "lcd";
2736 accum = <33482>;
2737 };
2738 };
2739
2740 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2926 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2927 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2928 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2929 configured panel size.

Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003197[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003198

3203 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3204
3205- Modem debug support:
3206 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3207
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003208 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3209 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003210
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003211- Interrupt support (PPC):
3212
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003213 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3214 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003215 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003216 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003217 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003218 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003219 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003220 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3221 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3222 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003224- General:
3225
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003226 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3227 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3228 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003229 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003230 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3231 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3232 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003233
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003234 If there are no modem init strings in the
3235 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3236 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003237 suppressed, though.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003285 If the board specific function
3286 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3287 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003307- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3308 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003309 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003310 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003311 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3312 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3313 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003314 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003315 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003316 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003317
3318 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3319 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3320 be touched.
3321
3322 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3323 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3324 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3325 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3326 problems.

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003348 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3349 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3350 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3351 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003352
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003353- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003354 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3355
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003356- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003357 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3358 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003359 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003360 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3361
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003362- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003363 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3364 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3366 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003367 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003368 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003369 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003370 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3371 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3372 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003373
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003374- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3375 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3376 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3377 is enabled.
3378
3379- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3380 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3381 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3382
3383- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3384 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3385 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3386
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003387- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

3395
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003396- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:

3404
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003405- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003406 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3407 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3408
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003409- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003410
3411 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3412 without this option such a download has to be
3413 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3414 copy from RAM to flash.
3415
3416 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3417 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003418 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3419 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003420 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3421
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003422- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

3425
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003426- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003427 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3428 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003429
Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003430- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3431 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3432 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3433 to the MTD layer.
3434
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003435- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003436 Use buffered writes to flash.
3437
3438- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3439 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3440 write commands.
3441
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003442- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003443 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3444 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3445 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3446 optionally available.
3447
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003448- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3449 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3450 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3451 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3452
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003453- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3454 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3455 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3456 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3457 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3458 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3459 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3460 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3461
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003462- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003463 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3464 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003465 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3466 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003467 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003468 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003521- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3522 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3523 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3524 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3525 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3526 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3527 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3528 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3529 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3530
Simon Glass9c9f44a2013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003531- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3532 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3533 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3534 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3535 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3536
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003537- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3538 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3539 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3540 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003542The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3543of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3544following configurations:
3545
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003546- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3547
3548 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3549 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3550
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003551- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003552
3553 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3554
3555 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3556 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3557 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3558 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3559 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3560 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3561 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3562 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3563 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3564 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3565 between U-Boot and the environment.
3566
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003567 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003568
3569 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3570 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3571 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3572 for this sector is given here.
3573
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003574 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003575
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003576 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003577
3578 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3579 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003580 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003581
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003582 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003583
3584 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3585
3586
3587 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3588 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3589 the environment.
3590
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003591 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003592
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003593 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003594 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003595 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3596 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3597
3598 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3599 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3600 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3601 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3602 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3603 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3604 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3605 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3606 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3607
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003608 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3609 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003610
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003611 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003612 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003613 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003614 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003615
3616BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3617source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3618accordingly!
3619
3620
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003621- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003622
3623 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3624 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3625 environment.
3626
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003627 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3628 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003629
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003630 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003631 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3632 can just be read and written to, without any special
3633 provision.
3634
3635BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3636in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003637console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003638U-Boot will hang.
3639
3640Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3641environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3642keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3643to save the current settings.
3644
3645
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003646- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003647
3648 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3649 device and a driver for it.
3650
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003651 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3652 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003653
3654 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3655 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3656
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003657 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003658 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3659 The default address is zero.
3660
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003661 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003662 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3663 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3664 would require six bits.
3665
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003666 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003667 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003668 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003669
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003670 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003671 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3672 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3673
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003674 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003675 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3676 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3677 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3678 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3679 byte chips.
3680
3681 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3682 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3683 in the chip address.
3684
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003685 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003686 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3687
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003688 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3689 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3690 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3691
3692 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3693 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3694 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3695 EEPROM. For example:
3696
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003697 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003698
3699 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3700 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003701
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD2b14d2b2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003702- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003703
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003704 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003705 want to use for the environment.
3706
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003707 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3708 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3709 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003710
3711 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3712 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3713 at the specified address.
3714
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003715- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3716
3717 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3718 want to use for the local device's environment.
3719
3720 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3721 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3722
3723 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3724 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3725 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003726 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003727
3728BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3729"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003730environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3731but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003732
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDdda84dd2008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003733- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003734
3735 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3736 for the environment.
3737
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003738 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3739 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk79b59372004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003740
3741 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003742 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3743 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk86765902003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003744
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003745 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003746
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003747 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003748 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3749 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003750 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003751 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3752
3753 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3754
3755 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3756 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3757 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3758 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3759 the range to be avoided.
3760
3761 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003762
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003763 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3764 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3765 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3766 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3767 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003768
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003769- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3770
3771 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3772 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3773 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3774
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003775- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3776
3777 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3778 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3779 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3780
3781 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3782
3783 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3784
3785 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3786
3787 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3788 environment in.
3789
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003790 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3791
3792 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3793 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3794 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3795
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003796 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3797 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3798
3799 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3800 when storing the env in UBI.
3801
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003802- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3803
3804 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3805 environment.
3806
3807 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3808
3809 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3810
3811 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3812
3813 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3814 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3815 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3816
3817 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3818 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3819
3820 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3821 area within the specified MMC device.
3822
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003823 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3824 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3825 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3826 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3827 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3828 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3829 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3830
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003831 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3832 MMC sector boundary.
3833
3834 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3835
3836 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3837 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3838 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3839 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3840
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003841 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3842 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3843
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003844 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3845 an MMC sector boundary.
3846
3847 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3848
3849 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3850 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3851 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3852
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003853- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003854
3855 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3856 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3857 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3858 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3859 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3860 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3861 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3862
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003863Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003864has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003865created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003866until then to read environment variables.
3867
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003868The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3869is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3870with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3871necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3872"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3873have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003874
3875Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3876the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003877use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00003913
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003914 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3915 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003918- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3919 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3920 PowerPC SOCs.
3921
3922- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3923 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3924 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3925
3926 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3927 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3928
3929- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3930 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3931 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003932 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003933 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3934 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3935 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3936
3937 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3938 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3939
3940- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003941 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3942 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003943 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3944 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3945
3946- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3947 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3948 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3949 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3950
3951- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3952 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3953 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4100 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
4101 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4102 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4103 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted

Fabio Estevamf17e8782013-04-11 09:35:34 +00004130- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4131 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4132 a 16 bit bus.
4133 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
Fabio Estevam417052b2013-04-11 09:35:35 +00004134 Example of drivers that use it:

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004150 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4151 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4152 to something your driver can deal with.

York Sune73cc042011-06-07 09:42:16 +08004154- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4155 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4156 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4157 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4158 header files or board specific files.
4159
York Sunbd495cf2011-09-16 13:21:35 -07004160- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE

4162
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004163- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004164 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4165 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
Timur Tabi054838e2006-10-31 18:44:42 -06004166
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004167- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4168 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4169
4170- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4171 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004172 to the given FEC; i. e.
4173 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004174 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4175
4176 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4177
4178- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4179 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4180 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4181
4182- CONFIG_RMII
4183 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4184 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4185 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4186
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004187- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4188 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4189 The syntax is:
4190
4191 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4192
4193 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4194 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4195 area should have.
4196
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004197- CONFIG_LOOPW
4198 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004199 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004200
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004201- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4202 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4203 "md/mw" commands.
4204 Examples:
4205
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004206 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004207 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4208
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004209 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004210 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4211
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004212 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004213 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004214
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004215- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004216 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004217 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4218 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4219 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004220
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004221 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4222 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4223 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4224 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004225
Aneesh V552a3192011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004226- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004227 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4228 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4229 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk336b2bc2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004230
Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004231- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4232 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4233 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4234 It is loaded by the SPL.
4235
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004236- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4237 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4238 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4239 previous 4k of the .text section.
4240
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004241- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4242 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4243 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4244 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4245 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4246 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4247 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4248 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4249
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004250- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4251 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4252 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4253 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4254 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4255
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004256- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4257 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4258 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Black14f82462012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004259
Mark Jackson52b003c2013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004260- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4261 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4262
4263 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004265Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4266-----------------------------------
4267
4268The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4269loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4270This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4271are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4272within that device.
4273
4274- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4275 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4276 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4277 is also specified.
4278
4279- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4280 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4281 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4282 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4283 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4284
4285- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4286 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4287 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4288 virtual address in NOR flash.
4289
4290- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4291 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4292 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4293
4294- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4295 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4296 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4297
4298- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4299 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4300 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4301
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004302- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4303 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4304 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004305 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4306 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4307 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004309Building the Software:
4310======================
4311
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004312Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4313and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4314all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4315(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4316recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4317which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004318
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004319If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4320have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4321you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4322Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4323necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004324
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004325 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4326 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004327
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004328Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4329 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4330 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4331 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4332
4333 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4334
4335 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4336 be executed on computers running Windows.
4337
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004338U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4339sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004340is done by typing:
4341
4342 make NAME_config
4343
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004344where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004345rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004346
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004347Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4348 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4349 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4350 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004351 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004352
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004353 make TQM823L_config
4354 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004355
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004356 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4357 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004358
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004359 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004360
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004361
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004362Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4363images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004364
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004365- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4366- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4367- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004368
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004369By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4370in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4371this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4372
43731. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4374
4375 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4376 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4377 make O=/tmp/build all
4378
43792. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4380
4381 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4382 make distclean
4383 make NAME_config
4384 make all
4385
4386Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4387variable.
4388
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004389
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004390Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4391for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4392native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004393
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004394
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004395If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4396to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4397steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004398
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000043991. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004400 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4401 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044022. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4403 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4404 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
44053. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4406 your board
44073. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4408 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
44094. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
44105. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4411 to be installed on your target system.
44126. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4413 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004418
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004419If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4420or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004421provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4422the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004423official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004424
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004425But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4426cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004427the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4428just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004429for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4430select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4431environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4432you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004433
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004434 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004435
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004436or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004437
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004438 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004439
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004440When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4441U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4442setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4443built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4444<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4445location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4446variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004447
4448 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4449 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4450 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4451
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004452With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4453log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4454during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004517Environment Variables:
4518======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004519
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004520U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4521can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004522
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004523Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4524"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4525without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4526environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4527working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4528environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004529
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004530Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4531
4532List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004533
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004534 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004535
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004536 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004537
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004538 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004539
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004540 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004541
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004542 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004543
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004544 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4545 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4546 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4547 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4548 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4549 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004550 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4551 bootm_mapsize.
4552
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004553 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004554 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4555 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4556 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4557 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4558 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4559 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004560
4561 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4562 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4563 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4564 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4565 environment variable.
4566
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004567 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4568 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4569 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4570
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004571 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4572 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4573 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4574 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004575
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004576 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4577 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4578 be automatically started (by internally calling
4579 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004580
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004581 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4582 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4583 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4584 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4585 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004586
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004587 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4588 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004589 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4590 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4591 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4592 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4593 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4594 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4595 access it during the boot procedure.
4596
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004597 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4598 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4599 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4600 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4601 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4602 must be accessible by the kernel.
4603
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004604 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4605 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4606 defined.
4607
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004608 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4609 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4610 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4611 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4612 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4613
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004614 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4615 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4616 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4617 is usually what you want since it allows for
4618 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4619 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004620 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004621 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4622 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4623 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4624 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004625
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004626 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4627 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4628 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4629 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4630 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4631 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004632
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004633 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004634
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004635 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4636 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4637 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4638 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4639 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4640 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4641 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004642
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004643 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004658 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004659
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004660 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4661 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004662
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004663 => setenv ethact FEC
4664 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4665 => setenv ethact SCC
4666 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004667
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004668 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4669 available network interfaces.
4670 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4671
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004672 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004673 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4674 When set to "once" the network operation will
4675 fail when all the available network interfaces
4676 are tried once without success.
4677 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4678 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004679
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004680 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004681
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004682 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4683 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4684 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4685 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4686 is silent.
4687
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004688 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's

4690
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004691 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4692 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4693
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004694 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4695 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4696
4697 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4698 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4699 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4700 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4701 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4702 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4703 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4704
4705 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004709The following image location variables contain the location of images
4710used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4711not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4712variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4713server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4714loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4715flash or offset in NAND flash.
4716
4717*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4718boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4719boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004728The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4729updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4730depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004731
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004732 bootfile - see above

4735 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4736 hostname - Target hostname
4737 ipaddr - see above
4738 netmask - Subnet Mask
4739 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4740 serverip - see above

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004743There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004744
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004745 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4746 as type string and/or serial number
4747 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004748
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004749These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4750the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4751once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004752
4753
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004754Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004755
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004756 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4757 with the "version" command. This variable is
4758 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004759
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004760
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004761Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4762only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004765Callback functions for environment variables:
4766---------------------------------------------
4767
4768For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4769when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4770be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4771deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4772effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4773
4774The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4775U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4776
4777These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4778static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4779in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4780associations. The list must be in the following format:
4781
4782 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4783 list = entry[,list]
4784
4785If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4786Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4787
4788Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4789with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4790override any association in the static list. You can define
4791CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4792".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4793
4794
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004795Command Line Parsing:
4796=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004797
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004798There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4799the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004800
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004801Old, simple command line parser:
4802--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004803
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004804- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4805- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004806- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004807- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4808 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004809 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004810- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4811 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004812
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004813Hush shell:
4814-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004815
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004816- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4817 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4818 until...do...done, ...
4819- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4820 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4821 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4822 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004823
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004824General rules:
4825--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004826
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004827(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4828 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4829 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4830 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004831
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004832(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004833 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004834 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4835 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004836
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004837Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4838=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004839
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004840Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004841such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4842"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004843
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004844Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4845MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4846"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004847
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004848If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4849in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4850ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4851variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004852
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004853o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4854 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004855
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004856o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4857 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4858 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004859
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004860o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4861 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004862
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004863o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4864 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4865 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004866
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004867o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4868 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004869
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004870If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004871will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004872may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4873The naming convention is as follows:
4874"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004875
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004876Image Formats:
4877==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004878
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004879U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4880images in two formats:
4881
4882New uImage format (FIT)
4883-----------------------
4884
4885Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4886to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4887components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4888SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4889
4890
4891Old uImage format
4892-----------------
4893
4894Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4895preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4896details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004897

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004917Linux Support:
4918==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004919
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004920Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4921easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4922U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004923
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004924U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4925special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4926"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4927instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4928serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004929
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004930- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4931 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4932 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004933
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004934- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4935 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004936
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004937- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4938 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4939 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4940 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4941 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4942 software is easier now.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004948Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4949---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004950
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004951U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4952configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4953(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4954Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004955
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004956But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004957
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004958Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4959include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004960Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4961and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004962as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004968No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4969device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004972Building a Linux Image:
4973-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004974
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004975With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4976not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4977"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4978U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4979which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4980100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004981
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004982Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004983
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004984 make TQM850L_config
4985 make oldconfig
4986 make dep
4987 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004988
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004989The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4990encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4991CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004992
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004993* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004994
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004995* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004996
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004997 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4998 -R .note -R .comment \
4999 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005001* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005002
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005003 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005004
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005005* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005006
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005007 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5008 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5009 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005010
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005011
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5013with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5014combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5015byte header containing information about target architecture,
5016operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5017stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005018
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005019"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5020print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005021
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5023contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5024checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005026 tools/mkimage -l image
5027 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005028
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005029The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5030from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005031
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005032 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5033 -n name -d data_file image
5034 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5035 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5036 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5037 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5038 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5039 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5040 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5041 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005042
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005043Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5044address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5045kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005046
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005047- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5048- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005049
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005050So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005105Installing a Linux Image:
5106-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005107
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005108To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5109you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005110
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005111 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005112
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005113The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5114image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5115address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5116specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5117command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005118
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005119Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5120TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005285More About U-Boot Image Types:
5286------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005287
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005288U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005289
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005290 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5291 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5292 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5293 the Standalone Program.
5294 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5295 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5296 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5297 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5298 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5299 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5300 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5301 being started.
5302 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5303 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5304 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5305 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5306 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5307 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005308
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005309 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5310 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5311 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5312 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5313 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5314 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005315
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005316 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5317 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5318 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005319
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005320 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5321 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5322 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5323 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005324
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005325Booting the Linux zImage:
5326-------------------------
5327
5328On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5329using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5330as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5331
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005332Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005333kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5334address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5335format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338Standalone HOWTO:
5339=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005340
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005341One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5342run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5343U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005345Two simple examples are included with the sources:

5348-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005349
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005350'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5351application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5352It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5353like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005379Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5380handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5381Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5382The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5383character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5384controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005385
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005386 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5387 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5388 e - stop timer and disable interrupts

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005429Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5430"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5431consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5432Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5433especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
Karl O. Pinca0189bb2012-10-01 05:11:56 +00005434use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See

5448=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005449
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005450Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5451(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005452
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005453Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5454NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5455need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5456Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5457attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5458missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005459
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005460 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5461 # mkdir powerpc
5462 # ln -s powerpc machine
5463 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5464 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005465
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005466Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5467and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005468
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005469Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5470stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5471proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5472tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005479The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5480implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5481inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5482hardware.

5486---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005487
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005488The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5489starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5490system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5491This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5492is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5493at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5494options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5495models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5496MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5497locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005507 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5508 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5509 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5510 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5511 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005512 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5514 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005519 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5520 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5521 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5522 used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005524 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005525 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5526 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005527 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005528 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5529 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5530 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5531 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5532 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005537It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5538code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005539
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5541 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005542
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005543* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005544 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5545 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005546
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005547* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5548 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005549
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005550Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5551normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5552turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5553simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5554functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5555functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5556the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5557place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5558reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005559
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005560When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5561relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5562GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005563
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005564For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5565 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005566 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005567 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5568 R5-R10: parameter passing
5569 R13: small data area pointer
5570 R30: GOT pointer
5571 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005572
Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005573 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5574 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5575 going back and forth between asm and C)

Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005577 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005578
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005579 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5580 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5581 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5582 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5583 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5584 624 text + 127 data).

5607
5608 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5609
5610 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5611 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00005613On NDS32, the following registers are used:

Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005627NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5628or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005630Memory Management:
5631------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005632
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5634MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005635
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5637controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5638memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5639physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005640
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005641U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5642TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5643booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5644to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005645memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005646configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5647Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005648
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005649Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5650of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005651
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005652So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5653this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005654
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005655 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

5664 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5665 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data

5668 0x00FD FFFF
5669 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5670 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5671 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5672 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005673

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005675System Initialization:
5676----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005677
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005678In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005679(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005680configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5681To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5682To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5683initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5684which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5685part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5686the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005687
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005688Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5689preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5690(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5691on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5692programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5693simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5694banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005695
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005696When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5697different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5698bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
56990x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5700contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005701
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005702Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5703and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5704Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5705pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005706
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005707Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5708until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5709running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5710new address in RAM.

Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005791coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005792"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005793
5794Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5795MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5796reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5797sources.

Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005799Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5800Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5801in your code.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005803Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5804- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005805- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005806- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005807- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005808- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005809

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005817Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5818establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5819may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005820
Magnus Liljaf3b287b2008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005821Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005822
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005823Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5824see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5825
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005826When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5827it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005828
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005829* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5830 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5831 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005832
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005833* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5834 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005835
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005836* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005837
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005838* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005839
Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005840* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5841 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005842
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5844 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005845
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005846* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5847 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005848 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005849 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5850 with some other mail clients.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00005851
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005852 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5853 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5854 GNU diff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005855
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005856 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5857 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5858 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5859 affected files).
5860
5861 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5862 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005863
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005864* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5865 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00005866
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005867* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5868 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005869

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005871Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005872
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005873* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5874 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5875 for any of the boards.
5876
5877* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5878 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5879 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005880
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005881* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5882 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5883 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5884 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5885 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5886 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005888* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5889 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5890 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5891 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
