| 6 | Summary: |
| 7 | ======== |
| 8 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for |
wdenk | ce4832c | 2004-10-17 21:12:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other |
| 11 | processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to |
| 12 | initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application |
| 13 | code. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | |
| 15 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some |
| 17 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | support booting of Linux images. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily |
| 21 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are |
| 22 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to |
| 23 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used |
| 24 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can |
| 25 | load and run it dynamically. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Status: |
| 29 | ======= |
| 30 | |
| 31 | In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. |

| 36 | the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files |
| 37 | scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or |
| 38 | companies responsible for various boards and subsystems. |

| 168 | ======================= |
| 169 | |
| 170 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the |
| 171 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | There are two classes of configuration variables: |
| 174 | |
| 175 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: |
| 176 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with |
| 177 | "CONFIG_". |
| 178 | |
| 179 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: |
| 180 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if |
| 181 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with |
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD | 0383694 | 2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 182 | "CONFIG_SYS_". |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 183 | |
Robert P. J. Day | 076ed9b | 2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 184 | Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating |
| 185 | symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently, |
| 186 | U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel, |
| 187 | allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your |
| 188 | build. |

| 191 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: |
| 192 | --------------------------------------------------- |
| 193 | |
| 194 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default |
Holger Freyther | 7ba4e57 | 2014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 195 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 196 | |
| 197 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: |
| 198 | |
| 199 | cd u-boot |
Holger Freyther | 7ba4e57 | 2014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 200 | make TQM823L_defconfig |

| 203 | you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file |
| 204 | doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards. |

| 207 | -------------------- |
| 208 | |
| 209 | U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' |
| 210 | board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- |
| 211 | specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to |
| 212 | run some of U-Boot's tests. |
| 213 | |

| 218 | -------------------------- |
| 219 | |
| 220 | This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both |
Robert P. J. Day | 076ed9b | 2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 221 | SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). |
| 222 | |
| 223 | Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in |
| 224 | more detail later in this file. |
| 225 | |
| 226 | At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names |
| 227 | and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures |
| 228 | may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use |
| 229 | CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this. |
Simon Glass | d8711af | 2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 230 | |
Robert P. J. Day | 076ed9b | 2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 231 | Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly |
| 232 | CPU-specific) start.S file, such as: |
| 233 | |
| 234 | - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S |
| 235 | - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S |
| 236 | - arch/mips/cpu/start.S |
| 237 | |
| 238 | and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and |
| 239 | limitations of each of these functions are described below. |

| 242 | - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f() |
| 243 | - no global_data or BSS |
| 244 | - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed) |
| 245 | - must not set up SDRAM or use console |
| 246 | - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to |
| 247 | board_init_f() |
| 248 | - this is almost never needed |
| 249 | - return normally from this function |
| 250 | |
| 251 | board_init_f(): |
| 252 | - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r(): |
| 253 | i.e. SDRAM and serial UART |
| 254 | - global_data is available |
| 255 | - stack is in SRAM |
| 256 | - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables, |
| 257 | only stack variables and global_data |
| 258 | |
| 259 | Non-SPL-specific notes: |
| 260 | - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this |
| 261 | can do nothing |
| 262 | |
| 263 | SPL-specific notes: |
| 264 | - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own |
| 265 | version as needed. |
| 266 | - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis |
| 267 | - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work |
Naoki Hayama | ebfd819 | 2020-09-24 15:57:19 +0900 | [diff] [blame] | 268 | - there is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S |
Andreas Dannenberg | 7673bed | 2019-08-08 12:54:49 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 269 | - for specific scenarios on certain architectures an early BSS *can* |
| 270 | be made available (via CONFIG_SPL_EARLY_BSS by moving the clearing |
| 271 | of BSS prior to entering board_init_f()) but doing so is discouraged. |
| 272 | Instead it is strongly recommended to architect any code changes |
| 273 | or additions such to not depend on the availability of BSS during |
| 274 | board_init_f() as indicated in other sections of this README to |
| 275 | maintain compatibility and consistency across the entire code base. |
Simon Glass | d8711af | 2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 276 | - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r() |
| 277 | directly) |
| 278 | |
| 279 | Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at |
| 280 | this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below |
| 281 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of |
| 282 | memory. |
| 283 | |
| 284 | board_init_r(): |
| 285 | - purpose: main execution, common code |
| 286 | - global_data is available |
| 287 | - SDRAM is available |
| 288 | - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used |
| 289 | - execution eventually continues to main_loop() |
| 290 | |
| 291 | Non-SPL-specific notes: |
| 292 | - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from |
| 293 | there. |
| 294 | |
| 295 | SPL-specific notes: |
| 296 | - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and |
| 297 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM |
| 298 | - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is |

| 675 | binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific |
| 676 | code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: |
| 677 | |
| 678 | cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin |
| 679 | |
| 680 | and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called |
| 681 | u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can |
| 682 | still use the individual files if you need something more |

| 1165 | |
| 1166 | Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait |
| 1167 | mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree, |
| 1168 | we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the |
| 1169 | framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are |
| 1170 | printed out. |
| 1171 | Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be |
| 1172 | initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of |
| 1173 | "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code. |
| 1174 | The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to |
| 1175 | fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline): |
| 1176 | 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree |
| 1177 | 1 = 90 degree rotation |
| 1178 | 2 = 180 degree rotation |
| 1179 | 3 = 270 degree rotation |

Thierry Reding | 8977cda | 2014-08-19 10:21:24 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1261 | CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 | BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The |
| 1264 | server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and |
| 1265 | U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of |
| 1266 | an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses |
| 1267 | aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP |
| 1268 | ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to |
| 1269 | respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it |
| 1270 | takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that |
| 1271 | time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order |
| 1272 | to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these |
| 1273 | retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of |
| 1274 | IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this |
| 1275 | cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding |
| 1276 | requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers |
| 1277 | from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. |

| 1300 | |
| 1301 | A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between |
| 1302 | receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". |
| 1303 | This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't |
| 1304 | respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an |
| 1305 | AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed |
| 1306 | to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 |
| 1307 | DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at |
| 1308 | least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope |
| 1309 | that one of the retries will be successful but note that |
| 1310 | the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than |
| 1311 | this delay. |

| 1691 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of |

| 1693 | this default value by defining an environment |
| 1694 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to |
| 1695 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will |
| 1696 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is |
| 1697 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will |
| 1698 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of |
| 1699 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot |
| 1700 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: |

| 1707 | not be affected by reboots. |
| 1708 | |
| 1709 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic |

Heiko Schocher | f5895d1 | 2014-06-24 10:10:04 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1860 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD |
| 1861 | This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest |
| 1862 | erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks |
| 1863 | of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing |
| 1864 | wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase |
| 1865 | counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. |
| 1866 | |
| 1867 | The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and |
| 1868 | other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. |
| 1869 | However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock |
| 1870 | life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., |
| 1871 | to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). |
| 1872 | |
| 1873 | default: 4096 |
Simon Glass | 6c0be91 | 2014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 1874 | |
Heiko Schocher | f5895d1 | 2014-06-24 10:10:04 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1875 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT |
| 1876 | This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI |
| 1877 | expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the |
| 1878 | underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR |
| 1879 | flash), this value is ignored. |
| 1880 | |
| 1881 | NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM |
| 1882 | (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. |
| 1883 | The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks |
| 1884 | then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", |
| 1885 | which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total |
| 1886 | count of eraseblocks on the chip). |
| 1887 | |
| 1888 | To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to |
| 1889 | reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks |
| 1890 | handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire |
| 1891 | NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means |
| 1892 | that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad |
| 1893 | eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same |
| 1894 | size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a |
| 1895 | partition. |
| 1896 | |
| 1897 | default: 20 |
| 1898 | |
| 1899 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP |
| 1900 | Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device |
| 1901 | in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it |
| 1902 | only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. |
| 1903 | The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach |
| 1904 | the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where |
| 1905 | attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install |
| 1906 | a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter |
| 1907 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note |
| 1908 | that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations |
| 1909 | without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap |
| 1910 | fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. |
| 1911 | |
| 1912 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT |
| 1913 | Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images |
| 1914 | without a fastmap. |
| 1915 | default: 0 |

| 2224 | cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed |
| 2225 | are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding |
| 2226 | cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e. |
| 2227 | if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the |
| 2228 | size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of |
| 2229 | one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has |
| 2230 | written to another region in the same cache-line. This can |
| 2231 | happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for |
| 2232 | buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g. |
| 2233 | 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes). |

| 2779 | ------------------- |
| 2780 | |
| 2781 | In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build |

| 2783 | |
| 2784 | This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable. |
| 2785 | SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration |
| 2786 | option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot. |
| 2787 | |
| 2788 | SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC. |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2874 | |
Phil Sutter | c77b488 | 2015-12-25 14:41:18 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2875 | 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2876 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least |
Phil Sutter | c77b488 | 2015-12-25 14:41:18 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2877 | the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c". |
| 2878 | 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for |
| 2879 | your board. |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2880 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new |
| 2881 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. |
Holger Freyther | 7ba4e57 | 2014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 2882 | 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2883 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file |
| 2884 | to be installed on your target system. |
| 2885 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. |
| 2886 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2976 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2980 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance |
| 2981 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- |

| 3010 | ============== |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3011 | |
Marian Balakowicz | 18710b8 | 2008-03-12 12:13:13 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 3012 | U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) |
| 3013 | images in two formats: |
| 3014 | |
| 3015 | New uImage format (FIT) |
| 3016 | ----------------------- |
| 3017 | |
| 3018 | Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar |
| 3019 | to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple |
| 3020 | components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by |
| 3021 | SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. |
| 3022 | |
| 3023 | |
| 3024 | Old uImage format |
| 3025 | ----------------- |
| 3026 | |
| 3027 | Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, |
| 3028 | preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for |
| 3029 | details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: |

| 3051 | ============== |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3052 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3053 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application |
| 3054 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of |
| 3055 | U-Boot. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3056 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3057 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some |
| 3058 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any |
| 3059 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; |
| 3060 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation |
| 3061 | serves several purposes: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3062 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3063 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone |
| 3064 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the |
| 3065 | Flash memory footprint) |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3066 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3067 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because |
| 3068 | lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3069 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3070 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" |
| 3071 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can |
| 3072 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't |
| 3073 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just |
| 3074 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the |
| 3075 | software is easier now. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3084 | U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3091 | Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance |

Simon Glass | d097e59 | 2014-06-11 23:29:46 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 3097 | Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3113 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are |
| 3114 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target |
| 3115 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by |
| 3116 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, |
| 3117 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a |
| 3118 | 100% compatible format. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3150 | The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use |
| 3151 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or |
| 3152 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 |
| 3153 | byte header containing information about target architecture, |
| 3154 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time |
| 3155 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3157 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and |
| 3158 | print the header information, or to build new images. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3160 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information |
| 3161 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes |
| 3162 | checksum verification: |

| 3426 | ------------------------------ |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3427 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3428 | U-Boot supports the following image types: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3429 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3430 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment |
| 3431 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave |
| 3432 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from |
| 3433 | the Standalone Program. |
| 3434 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which |
| 3435 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs |
| 3436 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device |
| 3437 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot |
| 3438 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. |
| 3439 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their |
| 3440 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is |
| 3441 | being started. |
| 3442 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS |
| 3443 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like |
| 3444 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want |
| 3445 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot |
| 3446 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get |
| 3447 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3449 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each |
| 3450 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network |
| 3451 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". |
| 3452 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by |
| 3453 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to |
| 3454 | a multiple of 4 bytes). |

| 3457 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to |
| 3458 | flash memory. |

| 3462 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) |
| 3463 | as command interpreter. |

| 3466 | ------------------------- |
| 3467 | |
| 3468 | On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done |
| 3469 | using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same |
| 3470 | as the syntax of "bootm" command. |

Tom Rini | 45f46d1 | 2013-05-16 11:40:11 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3472 | Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply |
Marek Vasut | 28850d0 | 2012-03-18 11:47:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3473 | kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the |
| 3474 | address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following |
| 3475 | format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3618 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3619 | The following is not intended to be a complete description of every |
| 3620 | implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the |
| 3621 | inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom |
| 3622 | hardware. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3628 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot |
| 3629 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to |
| 3630 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). |
| 3631 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS |
| 3632 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working |
| 3633 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation |
| 3634 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU |
| 3635 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and |
| 3636 | MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be |
| 3637 | locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3647 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it |
| 3648 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not |
| 3649 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness |
| 3650 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of |
| 3651 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's |
Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3652 | beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3653 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and |
| 3654 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3659 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3692 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly |
| 3693 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all |
| 3694 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ |
| 3695 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of |
| 3696 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we |

| 3698 | reserve for this purpose. |

Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3832 | (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3834 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. |
| 3835 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) |
| 3836 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs |

| 3839 | the SIU. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3841 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a |
| 3842 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries |
| 3843 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash |
| 3844 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is |
| 3845 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a |
| 3846 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM |
| 3847 | banks. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3849 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of |
| 3850 | different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first |
| 3851 | bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address |
| 3852 | 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create |
| 3853 | contiguous memory starting from 0. |

| 3856 | and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board |
| 3857 | Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM |
| 3858 | pages, and the final stack is set up. |

Simon Glass | dc27def | 2016-07-27 20:33:08 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 4026 | * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4027 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported |
| 4028 | for any of the boards. |
| 4029 | |
| 4030 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch |
| 4031 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be |
| 4032 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4034 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not |
| 4035 | add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! |
| 4036 | When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only |
| 4037 | (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature |
| 4038 | disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your |
| 4039 | modification. |

| 4042 | u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are |
| 4043 | reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches |
| 4044 | bigger than the size limit should be avoided. |
