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

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

Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -050037In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000172Software Configuration:
173=======================
174
175Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
176rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
177
178There are two classes of configuration variables:
179
180* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
181 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
182 "CONFIG_".
183
184* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
185 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
186 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200187 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000188
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500189Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
190symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
191U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
192allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
193build.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000194
195
196Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
197---------------------------------------------------
198
199For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200200configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000201
202Example: For a TQM823L module type:
203
204 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200205 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000206
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500207Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
208you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
209doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000210
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600211Sandbox Environment:
212--------------------
213
214U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
215board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
216specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
217run some of U-Boot's tests.
218
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530219See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

221
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700222Board Initialisation Flow:
223--------------------------
224
225This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500226SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
227
228Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
229more detail later in this file.
230
231At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
232and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
233may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
234CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700235
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500236Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
237CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
238
239 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
240 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
241 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
242
243and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
244limitations of each of these functions are described below.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700245
246lowlevel_init():
247 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
248 - no global_data or BSS
249 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
250 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
251 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
252 board_init_f()
253 - this is almost never needed
254 - return normally from this function
255
256board_init_f():
257 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
258 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
259 - global_data is available
260 - stack is in SRAM
261 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
262 only stack variables and global_data
263
264 Non-SPL-specific notes:
265 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
266 can do nothing
267
268 SPL-specific notes:
269 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
270 version as needed.
271 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
272 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
273 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
274 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
275 directly)
276
277Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
278this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
279CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
280memory.
281
282board_init_r():
283 - purpose: main execution, common code
284 - global_data is available
285 - SDRAM is available
286 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
287 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
288
289 Non-SPL-specific notes:
290 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
291 there.
292
293 SPL-specific notes:
294 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
295 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
296 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
297 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
298 spl_board_init() function containing this call
299 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000303Configuration Options:
304----------------------
305
306Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
307such information is kept in a configuration file
308"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
309
310Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
311"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
312
313
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000314Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
315kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
316build a config tool - later.
317
318
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000319The following options need to be configured:
320
Kim Phillips203fee32007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500321- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000322
Kim Phillips203fee32007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500323- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
Wolfgang Denk994ad962006-10-24 14:42:37 +0200324
325- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
Haavard Skinnemoen9d5a43f2007-11-01 12:44:20 +0100326 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000327
Lei Wen20014762011-02-09 18:06:58 +0530328- Marvell Family Member
329 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
330 multiple fs option at one time
331 for marvell soc family
332
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200333- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
wdenk20bddb32004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work

687 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
688 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
689 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
690 the kernel.
691
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200692 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
693
694 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
695 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
696 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
697 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
698 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
699 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000701 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
702
703 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
704 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
705 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
706 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
707 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
708 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
709 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100711- vxWorks boot parameters:
712
713 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
Bin Mengfb694b92015-10-07 20:19:17 -0700714 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
715 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100716 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
717
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100718 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
719 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000732- Serial Ports:
Andreas Engel0813b122008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200733 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000734
735 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
736
Andreas Engel0813b122008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200737 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000738
739 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
740
741 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
742
743 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
744 the clock speed of the UARTs.
745
746 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
747
748 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
749 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
750 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
751
Karicheri, Muralidharancbc08882014-04-09 15:38:46 -0400752 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere
765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
766
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000767- Console Baudrate:
768 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
769 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200770 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
771 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000772
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100773- Console Rx buffer length
774 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
775 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100776 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100777 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
778 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
779 the SMC.
780
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000781- Autoboot Command:
782 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
783 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
784 define a command string that is automatically executed
785 when no character is read on the console interface
786 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
787
788 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000789 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
790 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
791 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000792
793 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000794 The value of these goes into the environment as
795 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
796 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200797 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000798
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100799- Bootcount:
800 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
801 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
802 cycle, see:
803 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
804
805 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
806 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
807 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
808 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
809 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
810 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
811 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
812 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
813 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
814
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000815- Pre-Boot Commands:
816 CONFIG_PREBOOT
817
818 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
819 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
820 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
821 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
822 entering interactive mode.
823
824 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
825 automatically generated or modified. For an example
826 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
827 modified when the user holds down a certain
828 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
829 booting the systems
830
831- Serial Download Echo Mode:
832 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
833 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
834 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
835 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
836 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
837 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
838 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
839

845- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500846 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
847 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000848 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
Joe Hershberger5a9d7f12015-06-22 16:15:30 -0500849 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000961
962 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
963 support you can write:
964
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500965 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
966 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000967
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400968 Other Commands:
969 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000970
971 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500972 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000973 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
974 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
975 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
976 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
977 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
978 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000979

981 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
982
Simon Glassaa34ef22016-03-13 19:07:28 -0600983- Removal of commands
984 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
985 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
986 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
987 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
988 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
989 simple boot procedures.
990
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000991- Regular expression support:
992 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +0200993 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
994 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
995 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
996 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000997
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000998- Device tree:
999 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1000 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1001 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1002 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1003 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1004 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1005
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001006 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1007 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001008
1009 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1010 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1011 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1012 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1013 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1014 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001015
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001016 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1017 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1018 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1019 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1020
1021 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1022
1023 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1024 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1025 still use the individual files if you need something more
1026 exotic.
1027
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001028- Watchdog:
1029 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1030 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001031 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1032 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1033 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1034 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1035 available, then no further board specific code should
1036 be needed to use it.
1037
1038 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1039 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1040 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1041 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001042
Heiko Schocher735326c2015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001043 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1044 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1045
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001046- U-Boot Version:
1047 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1048 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1049 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1050 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001051 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1052 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001053
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001054- Real-Time Clock:
1055
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001056 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001057 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1058 following options:
1059
1060 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1061 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001062 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001064 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001065 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001066 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001067 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001071 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001072 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1073 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001074
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001075 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1076 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1077
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001078- GPIO Support:
1079 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001080
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001081 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1082 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1083 pins supported by a particular chip.
1084
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001085 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1086 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1087
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001088- I/O tracing:
1089 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1090 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1091 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1092 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1093 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1094 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1095 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1096 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1097
1098 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1099 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1100 still continue to operate.
1101
1102 iotrace is enabled
1103 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1104 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1105 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1106 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1107 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1108 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1109
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001110- Timestamp Support:
1111
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001112 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1113 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1114 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001115 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001116
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001117- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

1121 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1122 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1123 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1124 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1125 disk/part_efi.c
1126 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001127
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001128 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
Simon Glass8706b812016-05-01 11:36:02 -06001129 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001130 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001131
1132- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001133 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1134 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001135
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001136 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1137 be performed by calling the function
1138 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1139 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001140
1141- ATAPI Support:

1149 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher0f602e12009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001150 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001151 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1152 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1153

1254 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1255 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1256 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1257 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

1601
1602 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1603
1604 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1605 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1606 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1607 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1608 instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001609
1610- Video support:
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001611 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
Wolfgang Denk825223d2011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001612 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi020edd22011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001613 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1614 support, and should also define these other macros:
1615
1616 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1617 CONFIG_VIDEO
1618 CONFIG_CMD_BMP

1632 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1633 display); also select one of the supported displays
1634 by defining one of these:

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001682 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1683
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001684 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001685 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1686 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1687 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1688 a per-section basis.
1689
1690
Hannes Petermaiera3c8e862015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001691 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1692
1693 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1694 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1695 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1696 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1697 printed out.
1698 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1699 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1700 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1701 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1702 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1703 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1704 1 = 90 degree rotation
1705 2 = 180 degree rotation
1706 3 = 270 degree rotation
1707
1708 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1709 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1710
Tom Wai-Hong Tam79926a42012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001711 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1712
1713 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1714
Tom Wai-Hong Tam6664f202012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001715 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1716
1717 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1718 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1719
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001720- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001721
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001722 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1723 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1724 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001725 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001726 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1727 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1728 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1729 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001730
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001731 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1732
1733 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1734 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevama58b4912016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001735 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001736 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1737 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1738 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1739 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1740 there is no need to set this option.
1741
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001742 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1743
1744 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1745 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1746 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1747 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1748 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1749 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1750
1751 Example:
1752 setenv splashpos m,m
1753 => image at center of screen
1754
1755 setenv splashpos 30,20
1756 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1757
1758 setenv splashpos -10,m
1759 => vertically centered image
1760 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1761
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001762- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1763
1764 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1765 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1766 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1767
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001768- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1769
1770 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1771 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1772 bmp command.
1773
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001774- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001775 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1776
1777 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1778 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1779
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001780- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001781 CONFIG_GZIP
1782
1783 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1784
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001785 CONFIG_BZIP2
1786
1787 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1788 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1789 compressed images are supported.
1790
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001791 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001792 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001793 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001794
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001795 CONFIG_LZMA
1796
1797 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1798 images is included.
1799
1800 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1801 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1802 formula:
1803
1804 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1805
1806 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1807 and Literal pos bits.
1808
1809 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1810 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1811 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1812 a very small buffer.
1813
1814 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1815 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001816 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001817
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001818 CONFIG_LZO
1819
1820 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1821 is included.
1822
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001823- MII/PHY support:
1824 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1825
1826 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1827
1828 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1829
1830 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1831
1832 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1833
1834 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001835 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001836
1837 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1838
1839 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1840 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1841 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1842 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1843
1844 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1845
1846 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1847 command issued before MII status register can be read
1848
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001849- IP address:
1850 CONFIG_IPADDR
1851
1852 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001853 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001854 determined through e.g. bootp.
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001855 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001856
1857- Server IP address:
1858 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1859
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001860 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001861 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001862 (Environment variable "serverip")

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001864 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1865
1866 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1867 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1868
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001869- Gateway IP address:
1870 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1871
1872 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1873 default router where packets to other networks are
1874 sent to.
1875 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1876
1877- Subnet mask:
1878 CONFIG_NETMASK
1879
1880 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1881 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1882 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1883 forwarded through a router.
1884 (Environment variable "netmask")
1885
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001886- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1887 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1888
1889 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1890 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001891 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001892 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1893 multicast group.
1894
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001895- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1896 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1897
1898 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1899 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1900 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1901 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1902 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1903 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1904 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1905 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001906 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001907
1908 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1909 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1910 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1911 4th and following
1912 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1913
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02001914 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1915
1916 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1917 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1918 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1919 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1920 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1921 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1922 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1923 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1924 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1925 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1926 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1927 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1928 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1929 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1930 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1931
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001932- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001933 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001949
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001950 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1951 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001952
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001953 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1954 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1955 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1956 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1957 is not available.
1958
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001959 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1960 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more

1968 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1969 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1970 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001975 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1976
1977 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1978 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1979 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1980 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1981 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1982 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1983 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1984 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1985 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1986 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1987 this delay.

Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001989 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1990 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1991 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1992 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1993 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02002039- Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002040
2041 Several configurations allow to display the current
2042 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2043 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2044 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2045 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2046 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02002047 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002048 feature in U-Boot.
2049

Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002053 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2054 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
Uri Mashiach3dc6f652017-01-19 10:51:05 +02002055 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002056 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.

2059 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2060 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2061 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2062 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2063 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

2269 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2270 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002271
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002272 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002273 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002274 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2275 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002276 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002277
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002278 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002279
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002280 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002281 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002282
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002283 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002284 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002285 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002286 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002287
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002288 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002289 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002290 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2291 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2292 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002293
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002294 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2295
2296 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2297 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2298 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2299 commands until the slave device responds.
2300
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002301 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002302
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002303 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002304 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2305 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002306
2307 I2C_INIT
2308
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002309 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002310 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002311
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002312 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002313
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002314 I2C_PORT
2315
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002316 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2317 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2318 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002319
2320 I2C_ACTIVE
2321
2322 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2323 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2324 define can be null.
2325
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002326 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2327
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002328 I2C_TRISTATE
2329
2330 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2331 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2332 define can be null.
2333
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002334 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2335
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002336 I2C_READ
2337
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002338 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2339 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002340
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002341 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2342
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002343 I2C_SDA(bit)
2344
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002345 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2346 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002347
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002348 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002349 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002350 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002351
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002352 I2C_SCL(bit)
2353
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002354 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2355 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002356
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002357 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002358 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002359 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002360
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002361 I2C_DELAY
2362
2363 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2364 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002365 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002366 like:
2367
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002368 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002369
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002370 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2371
2372 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2373 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2374 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2375 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2376
2377 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2378 the generic GPIO functions.
2379
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002380 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002381
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002382 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2383 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2384 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2385 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2386 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2387 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2388 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2389 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002390
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002391 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2392
2393 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2394 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2395 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2396 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2397 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2398 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2399 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2400 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2401
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002402 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2403
2404 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2405 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2406 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2407
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002408 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2409
2410 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002411 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2412 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002413 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2414
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002415 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002416
2417 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002418 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002419 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2420 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002421
2422 e.g.
2423 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002424 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002425
2426 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2427
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002428 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Simon Glassb05e2b32016-10-02 18:01:05 -06002429 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002430
2431 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2432
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002433 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002434
2435 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2436 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2437
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002438 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002439
2440 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2441 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2442
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002443 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002444
2445 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2446 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2447
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002448 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002449
2450 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2451 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2452 specified DTT device.
2453
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002454 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2455
2456 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2457 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2458 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2459 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2460 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2461 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2462 the other.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002477 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2478 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2479 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2480 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2481 defined, the board configuration must define several
2482 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2483 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002484

2486
2487 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2488 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2489 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.

2576- Configuration Management:
Stefan Roese141ed202014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002577 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2578
2579 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2580 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2581 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2582 special image will be automatically built upon calling
Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06002583 make / buildman.
Stefan Roese141ed202014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002584
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002585 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2586
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002587 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2588 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002589
2590- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2591
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002592 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2593 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002594 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002595 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2596 protects these variables from casual modification by
2597 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2598 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002599 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002600
2601 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2602 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002603 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002604 these parameters.
2605
Joe Hershberger76f353e2015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002606 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2607 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002608 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002609 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2610 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2611 read-only.]
2612
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002613 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2614 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2615 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2616 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2617
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002618- Protected RAM:
2619 CONFIG_PRAM
2620
2621 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2622 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2623 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2624 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2625 this default value by defining an environment
2626 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2627 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2628 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2629 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2630 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2631 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2632 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2633
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002634 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002635 saveenv
2636
2637 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2638 either, which results in a memory region that will
2639 not be affected by reboots.
2640
2641 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2642 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2643 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2644 following board configurations are known to be
2645 "pRAM-clean":

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002650
Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002651- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2652 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2653 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2654 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2655 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2656 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2657 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2658
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002659- Error Recovery:
2660 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2661
2662 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2663 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2664 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002665 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002666 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2667 useful during development since you can try to debug
2668 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2669
2670 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2671
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002672 This variable defines the number of retries for
2673 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2674 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2675 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002676
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002677 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2678
2679 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2680
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002681 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2682
2683 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2684 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2685 try longer timeout such as
2686 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2687
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002688- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002689 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002690
2691 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2692
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002693 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002694
2695 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2696 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2697 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2698
2699 Note:
2700
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002701 In the current implementation, the local variables
2702 space and global environment variables space are
2703 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2704 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2705 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2706 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2707 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002708
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002709 Global environment variables are those you use
2710 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2711 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2712 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002713
2714 To store commands and special characters in a
2715 variable, please use double quotation marks
2716 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2717 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2718 symbols.

Marek Vasut734fb042016-01-27 04:47:55 +01002726- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2727 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2728
2729 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2730 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2731 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2732 and PS2.
2733
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002734- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002735 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2736
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002737 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2738 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002739 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002740
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002741 For example, place something like this in your
2742 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002743
2744 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2745 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2746 "myvar2=value2\0"
2747
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002748 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2749 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2750 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2751 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002752 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002753 You better know what you are doing here.
2754
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002755 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2756 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002757 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002758 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002759
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002760 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2761
2762 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2763 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2764 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2765
2766 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2767
2768 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2769 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2770 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2771 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2772 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2773
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002774 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2775
2776 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2777 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2778 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2779
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002780 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2781
2782 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002783 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002784 that so that the environment is not available until
2785 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2786 this is instead controlled by the value of
2787 /config/load-environment.
2788
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002789- Parallel Flash support:
2790 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2791
Bin Meng75574052016-02-05 19:30:11 -08002792 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002793 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2794 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2795 parallel flash.
2796
2797 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2798 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2799 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2800 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2801
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002802- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002803 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2804
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002805 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2806 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2807 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002808
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002809- Serial Flash support
2810 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2811
2812 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2813 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2814
2815 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2816 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2817 commands.
2818
2819 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2820 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2821 flash is present on the system.
2822
2823 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2824 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2825 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2826 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2827
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002828 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2829
2830 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2831 test ('sf test').
2832
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302833 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2834
2835 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2836 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002837 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302838
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002839- SystemACE Support:
2840 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2841
2842 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2843 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002844 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002845 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002846
2847 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002848 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002849
2850 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2851 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2852
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002853- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2854 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2855
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002856 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002857 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002858 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002859 number generator is used.
2860
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002861 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2862 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2863 defined, the normal port 69 is used.

2865 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002866 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2867 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2868 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2869 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2870 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2871 but sometimes that is not allowed.

Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002873- Hashing support:
2874 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2875
2876 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2877 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2878
2879 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2880
2881 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2882 size a little.
2883
gaurav ranaef201592015-02-20 12:51:46 +05302884 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
2885 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2886 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
2887 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2888 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
2889 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
2890 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
2891 hash_lookup_algo() function.
2892 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
2893 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
2894 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
2895 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002896
2897 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2898 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.

Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002900- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2901 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2902 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2903 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2904
2905 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2906 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2907 a boot from specific media.
2908
2909 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2910 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2911 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2912 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2913 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2914
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002915- bootcount support:

2919 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2920
2921 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2922 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2923 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2924 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2925 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2926 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2927 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2928 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2929 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2930 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2931 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2932 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2933 the bootcounter.
2934 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002939 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2940 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2941 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2942 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2943 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,

3135 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3136 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3137 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3138 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3139 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3140 configured panel size.

3177 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3178 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3179 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3180 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3181 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3182 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3183
3184 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3185 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3186 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3187 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3188 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).

3194 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3195 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3196 flash), this value is ignored.
3197
3198 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3199 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3200 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3201 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3202 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3203 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3204
3205 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3206 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3207 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3208 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3209 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3210 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3211 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3212 partition.
3213
3214 default: 20
3215
3216 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3217 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3218 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3219 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3220 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3221 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3222 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3223 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3224 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3225 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3226 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3227 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3228
3229 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3230 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3231 without a fastmap.
3232 default: 0

3292 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3293 loaded does not have a signature.
3294 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3295 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003464 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003467 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003469 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003470 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU

Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003549
3550 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx

3583
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003584- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3585 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3586 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3587 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3588 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3589 space.
3590
3591 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3592 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3593 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003594 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003595 U-Boot relocates itself.
3596
Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003597- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3598 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3599 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3600 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3601
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003602- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3603 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3604 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3605 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3606 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3607 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3608 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3609 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3610 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3611 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3612 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3613 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3614 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3615 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3616 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3617 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3618
3619 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3620
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003621- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003622 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3623 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003624 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003625 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3626
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003627- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

3631 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003632 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003633 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003634 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003635 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3636 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,

3676 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3677 without this option such a download has to be
3678 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3679 copy from RAM to flash.
3680
3681 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3682 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003683 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3684 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003685 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

3720 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3721 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3722 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003728 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3729 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003730 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3731 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003732 on high Ethernet traffic.

Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003786- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3787 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3788 access flags.

Gabe Black3687fe42014-10-15 04:38:30 -06003795- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3796 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3797 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3798 building U-Boot to enable this.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003800The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3801of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3802following configurations:
3803
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003804- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3805
3806 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3807 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3808
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003809- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003810
3811 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3812
3813 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3814 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3815 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3816 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3817 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3818 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3819 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3820 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3821 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3822 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3823 between U-Boot and the environment.
3824
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003825 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003826
3827 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3828 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3829 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3830 for this sector is given here.
3831
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003832 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003833
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003834 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003835
3836 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3837 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003838 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003839
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003840 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841
3842 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3843
3844
3845 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3846 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3847 the environment.
3848
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003849 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003850
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003851 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003852 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003853 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3854 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3855
3856 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3857 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3858 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3859 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3860 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3861 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3862 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3863 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3864 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3865
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003866 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3867 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003868
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003869 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003870 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003871 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003872 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003873
3874BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3875source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3876accordingly!
3877
3878
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003879- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003880
3881 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3882 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3883 environment.
3884
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003885 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3886 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003887
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003888 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003889 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3890 can just be read and written to, without any special
3891 provision.
3892
3893BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003894in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003895console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003896U-Boot will hang.
3897
3898Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3899environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3900keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3901to save the current settings.
3902
3903
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003904- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003905
3906 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3907 device and a driver for it.
3908
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003909 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3910 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003911
3912 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3913 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3914
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003915 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003916 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3917 The default address is zero.
3918
Christian Gmeiner4c5b7542015-02-11 15:19:31 +01003919 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
3920 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
3921

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003923 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3924 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3925 would require six bits.
3926
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003927 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003928 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003929 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003930
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003931 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003932 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3933 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3934
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003935 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003936 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3937 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3938 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3939 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3940 byte chips.
3941
3942 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3943 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3944 in the chip address.
3945
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003946 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003949 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3950 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3951 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3952
3953 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3954 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3955 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3956 EEPROM. For example:
3957
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003958 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003959
3960 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3961 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

3979 want to use for the environment.
3980
3981 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3982 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3983
3984 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

3986 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3987
3988 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3989
3990 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
3991
3992 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):

3995 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3996 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Simon Glass5b9a5172016-10-02 18:00:58 -06003997 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be

3999
4000 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4001 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):

4019 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4020
4021 These two #defines specify the address and size of the

4023 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004024 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004025
4026BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4027"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004028environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4029but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

4050
4051 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4052
4053 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4054 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4055 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4056 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4057 the range to be avoided.
4058
4059 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004060
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004061 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4062 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4063 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4064 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when

Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004073- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4074
4075 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the

Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004108
4109 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4110 be as following:
4111
4112 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4113 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4114 partition table.
4115 - "D:0": device D.
4116 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4117 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4118 table.
4119 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004120 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004121 partition table then means device D.
4122
4123 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4124
4125 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004126 environment.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004127
4128 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004129 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004130
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004131- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4132
4133 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4134 environment.
4135
4136 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4137
4138 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4139
4140 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4141
4142 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4143 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4144 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4145
4146 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4147 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4148
4149 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4150 area within the specified MMC device.
4151
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004152 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4153 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4154 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4155 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4156 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4157 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4158 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4159
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004160 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4161 MMC sector boundary.
4162
4163 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4164
4165 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4166 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4167 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4168 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4169
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004170 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4171 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4172
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004173 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4174 an MMC sector boundary.
4175
4176 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4177
4178 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4179 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4180 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4181
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004182- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004183
4184 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4185 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4186 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4187 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4188 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4189 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4190 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4191
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004192Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004193has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004194created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004195until then to read environment variables.
4196
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004197The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4198is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4199with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4200necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4201"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4202have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004203
4204Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4205the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004206use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004210
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004211 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004212 also needs to be defined.
4213
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004214- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004216
Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004217- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4218 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4219 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4220 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4221 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4222 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4223
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004224- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4225 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4226 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4227 to do this.
4228
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004229- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4230 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4231 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4232 present.
4233
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004234- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4235 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4236 build system checks that the actual size does not
4237 exceed it.

4244
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004245- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004246 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004247
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004248 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4249 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4250 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004252- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4253 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4254 PowerPC SOCs.
4255
4256- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4257 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4258 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4259
4260 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4261 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4262
4263- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4264 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4265 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004266 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004267 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4268 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4269 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4270
4271 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4272 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4273
4274- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004275 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4276 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004277 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4278 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4279
4280- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4281 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4282 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4283 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4284
4285- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4286 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4287 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004301 defines the offset of register from address. It
4302 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to

4504
4505- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4506 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004507 to the given FEC; i. e.
4508 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004509 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4510
4511 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4512
4513- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4514 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4515 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4516
4517- CONFIG_RMII
4518 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4519 Note that this is a global option, we can't

4537 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4538 "md/mw" commands.
4539 Examples:
4540
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004541 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004542 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.

wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004550- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004551 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004552 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4553 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4554 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004555
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004556 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4557 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4558 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4559 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004560
Simon Glass90844072016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004561- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4562 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
yeongjun Kim7a203682016-07-20 22:56:12 +09004563 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the

4577 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4578 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4579 previous 4k of the .text section.
4580
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004581- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4582 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4583 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4584 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4585 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4586 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4587 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4588 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4589
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004590- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4591 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4592 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4608-----------------------------------
4609
4610The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4611loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4612This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4613are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4614within that device.
4615
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004616- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4617 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4618 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4619 is also specified.
4620
4621- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4622 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004623 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4624 is also specified.
4625
4626- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4627 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4628 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4629 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4630 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4631
4632- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4633 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4634 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4635 virtual address in NOR flash.
4636
4637- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4638 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4639 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4640
4641- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4642 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4643 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4644
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004645- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4646 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4647 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004648 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4649 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4650 master's memory space.

4654The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4655"firmware".
4656This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4657are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4658within that device.

Paul Kocialkowski7b917022015-07-26 18:48:15 +02004672Reproducible builds
4673-------------------
4674
4675In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4676process have to be set to a fixed value.
4677
4678This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4679SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4680option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4681
4682SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004684Building the Software:
4685======================
4686
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004687Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4688and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4689all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4690(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4691recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4692which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004693
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004694If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4695have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4696you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4697Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4698necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004699
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004700 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4701 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004702
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004703Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4704 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4705 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4706 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4707
4708 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4709
4710 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4711 be executed on computers running Windows.
4712
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004713U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4714sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004715is done by typing:
4716
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004717 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004718
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004719where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004720rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004721
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004722Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4723 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4724 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4725 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004726 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004727
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004728 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004729 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004730
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004731 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004732 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004733
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004734 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004735
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004736
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004737Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4738images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004739
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004740- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4741- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4742- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004743
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004744By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4745in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4746this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4747
47481. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4749
4750 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004751 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004752 make O=/tmp/build all
4753
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020047542. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004755
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02004756 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004757 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004758 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004759 make all
4760
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02004761Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004762variable.
4763
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004764
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004765Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4766for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4767native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004768
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004769
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004770If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4771to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4772steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004773
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +010047741. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004775 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +01004776 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
47772. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4778 your board.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000047793. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4780 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020047814. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000047825. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4783 to be installed on your target system.
47846. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4785 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004790
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004791If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4792or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004793provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4794the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004795official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004796
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004797But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4798cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004799the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06004800just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4801configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4802will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4803for documentation.

4865
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004866Environment Variables:
4867======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004868
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004869U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4870can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004871
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004872Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4873"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4874without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4875environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4876working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4877environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004878
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004879Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4880
4881List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004882
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004883 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004884
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004885 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004886
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004887 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004888
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004889 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004890
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004891 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004892
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004893 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4894 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4895 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4896 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4897 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4898 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004899 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4900 bootm_mapsize.
4901
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004902 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004903 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4904 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4905 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4906 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4907 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4908 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004909
4910 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4911 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4912 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4913 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4914 environment variable.
4915
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004916 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4917 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4918 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4919
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004920 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4921 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4922 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4923 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004924
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004925 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4926 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4927 be automatically started (by internally calling
4928 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004929
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004930 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4931 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4932 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4933 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4934 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004935
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004936 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4937 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004938 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4939 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4940 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4941 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4942 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4943 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4944 access it during the boot procedure.
4945
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004946 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4947 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4948 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4949 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4950 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4951 must be accessible by the kernel.
4952
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004953 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4954 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4955 defined.
4956
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004957 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4958 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4959 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4960 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4961 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4962
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4964 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4965 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4966 is usually what you want since it allows for
4967 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4968 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004969 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004970 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4971 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4972 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4973 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004974
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004975 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4976 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4977 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4978 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4979 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4980 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004981
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004982 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004983
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004984 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4985 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4986 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4987 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4988 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4989 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4990 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

5019 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5020
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005021 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5023 When set to "once" the network operation will
5024 fail when all the available network interfaces
5025 are tried once without success.
5026 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5027 themselves.

5039
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005040 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP

5042
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005043 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5044 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5045
5046 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5047 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5048 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5049 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5050 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5051 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5052 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5053
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005054 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5055 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5056 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5057 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5058 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5059 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5060 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5061
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005062 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

5067 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5068 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5069 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5070 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.

Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005072The following image location variables contain the location of images
5073used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5074not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5075variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5076server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5077loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5078flash or offset in NAND flash.
5079
5080*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevambb7d4972015-04-25 18:53:10 -03005081boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005091The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5092updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5093depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005094
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005095 bootfile - see above
5096 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server

5098 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5099 hostname - Target hostname
5100 ipaddr - see above
5101 netmask - Subnet Mask
5102 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005106There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005107
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005108 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5110 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005111
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005112These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5113the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5114once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005115
5116

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005119 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5120 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005128Callback functions for environment variables:
5129---------------------------------------------
5130
5131For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005132when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005133be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5134deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5135effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5136
5137The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5138U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5139
5140These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5141static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5142in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5143associations. The list must be in the following format:
5144
5145 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5146 list = entry[,list]
5147
5148If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5149Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5150
5151Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5152with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5153override any association in the static list. You can define
5154CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005155".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005156
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005157If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5158regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5159the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005165There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5166the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005167
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005168Old, simple command line parser:
5169--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005170
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005171- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5172- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005173- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005174- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5175 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005176 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005177- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5178 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005179

5181-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005182
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005183- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5184 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5185 until...do...done, ...
5186- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5187 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5188 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5189 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005190
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005191General rules:
5192--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005193
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005194(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5195 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5196 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5197 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005198
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005199(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005200 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005201 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5202 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005203
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005204Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5205=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005206
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005207Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005208such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5209"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005210
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005211Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5212MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5213"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005214
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005215If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5216in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5217ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5218variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005219
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005220o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5221 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005222
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005223o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5224 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5225 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005226
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005227o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005244Image Formats:
5245==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005246
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005247U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5248images in two formats:
5249
5250New uImage format (FIT)
5251-----------------------
5252
5253Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5254to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5255components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5256SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5257
5258
5259Old uImage format
5260-----------------
5261
5262Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5263preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5264details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005284
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005285Linux Support:
5286==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005287
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005288Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5289easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5290U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005291
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005292U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5293special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5294"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5295instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5296serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005297
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005298- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5299 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5300 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005301
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005302- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5303 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005304
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005305- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5306 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5307 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5308 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5309 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5310 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005311
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005312
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005313Linux HOWTO:
5314============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005315
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005316Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5317---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005318
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005319U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5320configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5321(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5322Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005323
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005324But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005325
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005326Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5327include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005328Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5329and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005330as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005331
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005332Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5333If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5334is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5335doc/driver-model.
5336
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005337
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338Configuring the Linux kernel:
5339-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005340
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005341No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5342device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005343
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005345Building a Linux Image:
5346-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005347
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005348With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5349not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5350"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5351U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5352which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5353100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005354
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005355Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005356
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005357 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005358 make oldconfig
5359 make dep
5360 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005361
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005362The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5363encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5364CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005365
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005366* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005367
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005368* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005369
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005370 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5371 -R .note -R .comment \
5372 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005373
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005374* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005375
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005376 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005377
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005378* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005379
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005380 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5381 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5382 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005383
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005384
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005385The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5386with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5387combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5388byte header containing information about target architecture,
5389operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5390stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005391
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005392"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5393print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005394
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005395In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5396contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5397checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005398
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005399 tools/mkimage -l image
5400 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005401
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005402The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5403from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005404
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005405 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5406 -n name -d data_file image
5407 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5408 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5409 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5410 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5411 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5412 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5413 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5414 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005415
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005416Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5417address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5418kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005419
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005420- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5421- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005422
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005423So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005424

5489-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005490
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005491To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5492you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005493
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005494 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005495
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005496The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5497image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5498address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5499specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5500command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005501
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005502Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5503TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005668More About U-Boot Image Types:
5669------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005670
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005671U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005672
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005673 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5674 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5675 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5676 the Standalone Program.
5677 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5678 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5679 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5680 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5681 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5682 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5683 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5684 being started.
5685 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5686 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5687 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5688 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5689 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5690 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005691
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005692 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5693 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5694 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5695 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5696 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5697 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005698
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005699 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5700 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5701 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005702
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005703 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5704 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5705 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5706 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005707
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005708Booting the Linux zImage:
5709-------------------------
5710
5711On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5712using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5713as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5714
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005715Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005716kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5717address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5718format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5722=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005723
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005724One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5725run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5726U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005727

5734application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5735It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5736like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005762Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5763handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5764Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5765The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5766character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5767controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005768

5831=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005832
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005833Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5834(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005835
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005836Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5837NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5838need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5839Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5840attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5841missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005842
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5844 # mkdir powerpc
5845 # ln -s powerpc machine
5846 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5847 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00005848
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005849Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5850and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005851
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005852Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5853stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5854proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5855tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5860=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005861
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005862The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5863implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5864inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5865hardware.

5869---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005870
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005871The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5872starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5873system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5874This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5875is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5876at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5877options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5878models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5879MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5880locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005881
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005882 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005890 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5891 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5892 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5893 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5894 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005895 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005896 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5897 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005899 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5900 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005901 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005902 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5903 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5904 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5905 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005906
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005907 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005908 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5909 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005910 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005911 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5912 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5913 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5914 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5915 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005920It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5921code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005922
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005923* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5924 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005925
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005926* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005927 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5928 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005929
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005930* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5931 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005932
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005933Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005934normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005935turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5936simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5937functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5938functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5939the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5940place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5941reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005942
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005943When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5944relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5945GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005947For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5948 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005949 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005950 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5951 R5-R10: parameter passing
5952 R13: small data area pointer
5953 R30: GOT pointer
5954 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005956 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5957 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5958 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005962 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5963 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5964 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5965 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5966 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5967 624 text + 127 data).

6016------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006017
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006018U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6019MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006020
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006021The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6022controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6023memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6024physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006025
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006026U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6027TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6028booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6029to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006030memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006031configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6032Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006033
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006034Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6035of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006036
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006037So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6038this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006039

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006060System Initialization:
6061----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006062
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006063In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006064(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006065configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006066To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6067To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6068initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6069which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6070part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6071the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006072
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006073Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6074preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6075(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6076on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6077programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6078simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6079banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006080
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006081When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6082different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6083bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
60840x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6085contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006086
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006087Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6088and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6089Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6090pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006091
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006092Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6093until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6094running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6095new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006214* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6215 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6216 patch actually fixes something.

Albert ARIBAUD48e910f2013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006226* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6227 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006228
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006229* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6230 document these in the README file.

6233 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006234 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006235 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6236 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006238 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6239 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6240 GNU diff.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006257Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006258
Simon Glassdc27def2016-07-27 20:33:08 -06006259* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006260 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6261 for any of the boards.
6262
6263* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6264 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6265 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006266
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006267* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6268 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6269 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6270 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6271 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6272 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006273
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006274* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6275 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6276 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6277 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
