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.

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 +0000171Software Configuration:
172=======================
173
174Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
175rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
176
177There are two classes of configuration variables:
178
179* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
180 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
181 "CONFIG_".
182
183* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
184 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
185 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200186 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000187
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500188Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
189symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
190U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
191allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
192build.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000193
194
195Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
196---------------------------------------------------
197
198For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200199configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000200
201Example: For a TQM823L module type:
202
203 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200204 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000205
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500206Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
207you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
208doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000209
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600210Sandbox Environment:
211--------------------
212
213U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
214board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
215specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
216run some of U-Boot's tests.
217
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki287314f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530218See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

220
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700221Board Initialisation Flow:
222--------------------------
223
224This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500225SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
226
227Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
228more detail later in this file.
229
230At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
231and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
232may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
233CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700234
Robert P. J. Day076ed9b2015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500235Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
236CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
237
238 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
239 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
240 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
241
242and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
243limitations of each of these functions are described below.
Simon Glassd8711af2015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700244
245lowlevel_init():
246 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
247 - no global_data or BSS
248 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
249 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
250 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
251 board_init_f()
252 - this is almost never needed
253 - return normally from this function
254
255board_init_f():
256 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
257 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
258 - global_data is available
259 - stack is in SRAM
260 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
261 only stack variables and global_data
262
263 Non-SPL-specific notes:
264 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
265 can do nothing
266
267 SPL-specific notes:
268 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
269 version as needed.
270 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
271 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
272 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
273 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
274 directly)
275
276Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
277this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
278CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
279memory.
280
281board_init_r():
282 - purpose: main execution, common code
283 - global_data is available
284 - SDRAM is available
285 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
286 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
287
288 Non-SPL-specific notes:
289 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
290 there.
291
292 SPL-specific notes:
293 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
294 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
295 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
296 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
297 spl_board_init() function containing this call
298 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000302Configuration Options:
303----------------------
304
305Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
306such information is kept in a configuration file
307"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
308
309Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
310"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
311
312
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000313Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
314kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
315build a config tool - later.
316
317
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000318The following options need to be configured:
319

Kumar Gala1e26aa52006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600720 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
721
722 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
723 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenkda04a8b2004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000724
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600725 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
726
727 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
728 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
729 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
730 the kernel.
731
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500732 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
733
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200734 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintockefae4ca2006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500735 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
736
Heiko Schocherffb293a2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200737 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
738
739 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
740 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
741 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
742 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
743 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
744 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
745
Igor Grinberg06890672011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000746 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
747
748 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
749 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
750 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
751 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
752 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
753 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
754 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
755
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100756- vxWorks boot parameters:
757
758 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
Bin Mengfb694b92015-10-07 20:19:17 -0700759 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
760 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100761 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
762
Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100763 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
764 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000802- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000803 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
804 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
805 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
806 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000807
808 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
809 port routines must be defined elsewhere
810 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
811
812 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

846 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
847
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000848 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000852 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
853 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
854 the "silent" environment variable. See
855 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenk3da587e2003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000856
Heiko Schocher62759562013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200857 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100868- Console Rx buffer length
869 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
870 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100871 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100872 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
873 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
874 the SMC.
875
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000876- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200877 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
878 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
879 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
880 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
881 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
882 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
883 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200884 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200885 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000886
Hans de Goedee355da02015-05-05 13:13:36 +0200887 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
888 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
889
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200890 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
891 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000892
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000893- Autoboot Command:
894 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
895 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
896 define a command string that is automatically executed
897 when no character is read on the console interface
898 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
899
900 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000901 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
902 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
903 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000904
905 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000906 The value of these goes into the environment as
907 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
908 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200909 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000910
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100911- Bootcount:
912 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
913 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
914 cycle, see:
915 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
916
917 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
918 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
919 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
920 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
921 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
922 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
923 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
924 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
925 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
926
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000927- Pre-Boot Commands:
928 CONFIG_PREBOOT
929
930 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
931 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
932 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
933 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
934 entering interactive mode.
935
936 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
937 automatically generated or modified. For an example
938 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
939 modified when the user holds down a certain
940 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
941 booting the systems
942
943- Serial Download Echo Mode:
944 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
945 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
946 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
947 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
948 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
949 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
950 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

957- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500958 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
959 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000960 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted

1074 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1075 support you can write:
1076
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001077 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1078 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001079
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001080 Other Commands:
1081 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001082
1083 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001084 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001085 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1086 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1087 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1088 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1089 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1090 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001091
1092
1093 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1094
Simon Glassaa34ef22016-03-13 19:07:28 -06001095- Removal of commands
1096 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1097 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1098 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1099 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1100 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1101 simple boot procedures.
1102
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001103- Regular expression support:
1104 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001105 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1106 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1107 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1108 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001109
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001110- Device tree:
1111 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1112 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1113 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1114 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1115 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1116 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1117
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001118 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1119 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001120
1121 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1122 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1123 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1124 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1125 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1126 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001127
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001128 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1129 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1130 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1131 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1132
1133 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1134
1135 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1136 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1137 still use the individual files if you need something more
1138 exotic.
1139
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001140- Watchdog:
1141 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1142 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001143 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1144 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1145 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1146 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1147 available, then no further board specific code should
1148 be needed to use it.
1149
1150 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1151 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1152 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1153 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001154
Heiko Schocher735326c2015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001155 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1156 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1157
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001158- U-Boot Version:
1159 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1160 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1161 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1162 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001163 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1164 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001165
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001166- Real-Time Clock:
1167
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001168 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001169 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1170 following options:
1171
1172 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1173 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001174 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001176 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001177 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001178 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001179 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001180 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001181 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001182 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001183 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001184 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1185 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001186
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001187 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1188 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1189
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001190- GPIO Support:
1191 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001192
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001193 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1194 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1195 pins supported by a particular chip.
1196
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001197 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1198 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1199
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001200- I/O tracing:
1201 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1202 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1203 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1204 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1205 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1206 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1207 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1208 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1209
1210 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1211 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1212 still continue to operate.
1213
1214 iotrace is enabled
1215 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1216 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1217 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1218 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1219 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1220 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1221
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001222- Timestamp Support:
1223
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001224 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1225 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1226 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001227 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001228
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001229- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1230 Zero or more of the following:
1231 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1232 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1233 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1234 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1235 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1236 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1237 disk/part_efi.c
1238 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001239
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001240 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
Simon Glass8706b812016-05-01 11:36:02 -06001241 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001242 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001243
1244- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001245 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1246 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001247
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001248 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1249 be performed by calling the function
1250 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1251 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001252
1253- ATAPI Support:
1254 CONFIG_ATAPI
1255
1256 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1257
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001258- LBA48 Support
1259 CONFIG_LBA48
1260

1555 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1556 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1557 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1558 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1559 viewport is supported.
1560 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1561 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stachf31e4112012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001562 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1563 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1564 the appropriate value in Hz.

1610 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1611 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1612 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1613 one that would help mostly the developer.
1614
Heiko Schochera2f831e2013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001615 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1616 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1617 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1618 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1619 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1620
Pantelis Antonioua6e788d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001621 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1622 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1623 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1624 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1625 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1626 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1627
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001628 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1629 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1630 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1631 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1632
1633 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1634 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1635 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1636 sending again an USB request to the device.

Sebastian Siewior9d4471e2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001654 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1655 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1656 downloaded images.
1657
Paul Kocialkowskif84f0912015-07-20 12:38:22 +02001658 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
Sebastian Siewior9d4471e2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001659 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1660 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1661 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1662
Steve Raebfb9ba42014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001663 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1664 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1665 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1666 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1667
1668 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1669 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1670 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1671 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1672
Steve Rae7d059342014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001673 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1674 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1675 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1676 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1677 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1678 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1679 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1680 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1681

1845
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001846 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001847 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1848 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1849 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1850 a per-section basis.
1851
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001852 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1853
1854 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1855 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1856 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1857 is slow.
Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001858
Hannes Petermaiera3c8e862015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001859 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1860
1861 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1862 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1863 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1864 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1865 printed out.
1866 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1867 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1868 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1869 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1870 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1871 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1872 1 = 90 degree rotation
1873 2 = 180 degree rotation
1874 3 = 270 degree rotation
1875
1876 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1877 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1878

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001890 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1891 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1892 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001893 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001894 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1895 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1896 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1897 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001898
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001899 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1900
1901 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1902 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevama58b4912016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001903 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001904 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1905 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1906 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1907 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1908 there is no need to set this option.
1909

1913 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1914 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1915 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1916 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1917 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1918
1919 Example:
1920 setenv splashpos m,m
1921 => image at center of screen
1922
1923 setenv splashpos 30,20
1924 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1925
1926 setenv splashpos -10,m
1927 => vertically centered image
1928 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001930- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1931
1932 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1933 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1934 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1935
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001936- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1937
1938 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1939 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1940 bmp command.
1941
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001942- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001943 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1944
1945 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1946 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1947
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001948- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001949 CONFIG_GZIP
1950
1951 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1952
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001953 CONFIG_BZIP2
1954
1955 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1956 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1957 compressed images are supported.
1958
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001959 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001960 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001961 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001962
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001963 CONFIG_LZMA
1964
1965 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1966 images is included.
1967
1968 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1969 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1970 formula:
1971
1972 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1973
1974 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1975 and Literal pos bits.
1976
1977 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1978 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1979 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1980 a very small buffer.
1981
1982 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1983 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001984 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001985
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001986 CONFIG_LZO
1987
1988 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1989 is included.
1990
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001991- MII/PHY support:
1992 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR

1994 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1995
1996 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1997
1998 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1999
2000 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2001
2002 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002003 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002004
2005 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2006
2007 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2008 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2009 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2010 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2011
2012 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2013
2014 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2015 command issued before MII status register can be read
2016
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002017- IP address:

Robin Getz470a6d42009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002032 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2033
2034 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2035 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2036
Wolfgang Denk26da2992011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002037- Gateway IP address:
2038 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2039
2040 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2041 default router where packets to other networks are
2042 sent to.
2043 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2044
2045- Subnet mask:
2046 CONFIG_NETMASK
2047
2048 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2049 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2050 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2051 forwarded through a router.
2052 (Environment variable "netmask")
2053
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002054- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2055 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2056
2057 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2058 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002059 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002060 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2061 multicast group.
2062
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002063- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2064 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2065
2066 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2067 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2068 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2069 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2070 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2071 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2072 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2073 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002074 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002075
2076 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2077 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2078 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2079 4th and following
2080 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2081
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002082 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2083
2084 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2085 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2086 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2087 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2088 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2089 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2090 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2091 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2092 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2093 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2094 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2095 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2096 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2097 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2098 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2099

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002117
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002118 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2119 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002120
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002121 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2122 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2123 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2124 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2125 is not available.
2126
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002127 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2128 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2129 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2130 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2131 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2132 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2133 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002134 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002135
2136 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2137 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2138 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002139 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002140 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2141 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002142
Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002143 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2144
2145 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2146 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2147 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2148 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2149 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2150 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2151 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2152 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2153 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2154 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2155 this delay.
2156
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002157 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2158 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2159 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2160 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2161 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2162
2163 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002207- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2208
2209 Several configurations allow to display the current
2210 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2211 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2212 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2213 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2214 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2215 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2216 feature in U-Boot.
2217
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002218 Additional options:
2219
2220 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2221 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2222 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2223 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2224 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2225
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002226 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2227 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2228 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2229 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2230 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2231 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2232
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002233- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2236 on those systems that support this (optional)
2237 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002431
2432 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2433 provides the following compelling advantages:
2434
2435 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2436 - approved multibus support
2437 - better i2c mux support
2438
2439 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002440
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002441 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2442 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2443 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002444
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002445 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002446 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002447 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2448 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002449 command line interface.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002451 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002452
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002453 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002454 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002455
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002456 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002457 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002458 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002459 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002460
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002461 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002462 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002463 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2464 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2465 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002466
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002467 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2468
2469 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2470 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2471 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2472 commands until the slave device responds.
2473
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002474 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002475
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002476 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002477 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2478 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002479
2480 I2C_INIT
2481
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002482 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C

2488
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002489 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2490 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2491 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002492
2493 I2C_ACTIVE
2494
2495 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2496 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2497 define can be null.
2498
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002499 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)

2510
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002511 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2512 false if it is low.

2526
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002527 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002534 I2C_DELAY
2535
2536 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2537 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002538 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002539 like:
2540

2546 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2547 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2548 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2549
2550 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2551 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002554
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002555 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2556 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2557 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2558 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2559 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2560 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2561 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2562 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002563
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002564 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2565
2566 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2567 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2568 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2569 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2570 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2571 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2572 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2573 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2574
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002575 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2576
2577 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2578 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2579 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2580
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002581 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2582
2583 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002584 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2585 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002586 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002589
2590 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002591 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002592 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2593 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002594

Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002597 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002598
2599 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus

Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002627 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2628
2629 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2630 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2631 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2632 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2633 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2634 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2635 the other.

2652 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2653 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2654 defined, the board configuration must define several
2655 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

2751
2752 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2753 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2754 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2755 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2756 make / MAKEALL.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002758 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002762
2763- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2764
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002765 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2766 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002767 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002768 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2769 protects these variables from casual modification by
2770 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2771 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002772 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002773
2774 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2775 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002776 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002777 these parameters.
2778
Joe Hershberger76f353e2015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002779 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2780 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002781 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002782 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2783 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2784 read-only.]
2785
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002786 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2787 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2788 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2789 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2790
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002791- Protected RAM:
2792 CONFIG_PRAM
2793
2794 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2795 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2796 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2797 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2798 this default value by defining an environment
2799 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2800 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2801 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2802 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2803 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2804 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2805 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2806
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002807 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002808 saveenv
2809
2810 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2811 either, which results in a memory region that will
2812 not be affected by reboots.
2813
2814 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2815 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2816 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2817 following board configurations are known to be
2818 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002824- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2825 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2826 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2827 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2828 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2829 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2830 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002832- Error Recovery:
2833 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2834
2835 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2836 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2837 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002838 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002839 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2840 useful during development since you can try to debug
2841 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2842
2843 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2844
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002845 This variable defines the number of retries for
2846 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2847 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2848 default value of 5 is used.

Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002854 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2855
2856 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2857 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2858 try longer timeout such as
2859 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002866 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002867
2868 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2869 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2870 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2871
2872 Note:
2873
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002874 In the current implementation, the local variables
2875 space and global environment variables space are
2876 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2877 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2878 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2879 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2880 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002881
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002882 Global environment variables are those you use
2883 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2884 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2885 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002886
2887 To store commands and special characters in a
2888 variable, please use double quotation marks
2889 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2890 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2891 symbols.

Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002893- Command Line Editing and History:
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002894 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2895
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002896 Enable editing and History functions for interactive

Marek Vasut734fb042016-01-27 04:47:55 +01002899- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2900 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2901
2902 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2903 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2904 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2905 and PS2.
2906
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002907- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002908 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2909
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002910 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2911 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002912 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002913
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002914 For example, place something like this in your
2915 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002916
2917 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2918 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2919 "myvar2=value2\0"
2920
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002921 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2922 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2923 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2924 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002925 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002926 You better know what you are doing here.
2927
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002928 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2929 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002930 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002931 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002932
Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002933 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2934
2935 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2936 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2937 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2938
2939 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2940
2941 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2942 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2943 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2944 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2945 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2946
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002947 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2948
2949 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2950 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2951 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2952
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002953 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2954
2955 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002956 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002957 that so that the environment is not available until
2958 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2959 this is instead controlled by the value of
2960 /config/load-environment.
2961
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002962- Parallel Flash support:
2963 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2964
Bin Meng75574052016-02-05 19:30:11 -08002965 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
Chris Packham2216ddb2015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002966 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2967 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2968 parallel flash.
2969
2970 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2971 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2972 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2973 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2974
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002975- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002976 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2977
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002978 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2979 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2980 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002981
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002982- Serial Flash support
2983 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2984
2985 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2986 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2987
2988 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2989 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2990 commands.
2991
2992 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2993 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2994 flash is present on the system.
2995
2996 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2997 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2998 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2999 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3000
Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003001 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3002
3003 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3004 test ('sf test').
3005
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303006 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3007
3008 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3009 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003010 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303011
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003012- SystemACE Support:
3013 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3014
3015 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3016 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003017 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003018 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003019
3020 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003021 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003022
3023 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3024 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3025
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003026- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3027 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3028
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003029 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003030 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003031 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003032 number generator is used.
3033
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003034 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3035 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3036 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3037
3038 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003039 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3040 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3041 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3042 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3043 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3044 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3045
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003046- Hashing support:
3047 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3048
3049 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3050 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3051
3052 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3053
3054 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3055 size a little.
3056
gaurav ranaef201592015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303057 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3058 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3059 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3060 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3061 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3062 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3063 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3064 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3065 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3066 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3067 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3068 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003069
3070 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3071 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3072
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003073- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3074 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3075 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3076 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3077
3078 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3079 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3080 a boot from specific media.
3081
3082 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3083 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3084 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3085 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3086 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3087
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003088- bootcount support:
3089 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3090
3091 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3092 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3093
3094 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3095 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3096 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3097 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3098 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3099 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3100 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3101 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3102 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3103 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3104 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3105 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3106 the bootcounter.
3107 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003109- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003110 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3111
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003112 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3113 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3114 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3115 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3116 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3117 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3297
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003298 This option defines a board specific value for the
3299 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3300 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3309 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3310 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3311 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3312 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3313 configured panel size.

Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003349
3350 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3351 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3352 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3353 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3354 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3355 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3356
3357 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3358 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3359 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3360 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3361 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3362
3363 default: 4096
Simon Glass6c0be912014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003364
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003365 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3366 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3367 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3368 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3369 flash), this value is ignored.
3370
3371 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3372 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3373 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3374 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3375 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3376 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3377
3378 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3379 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3380 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3381 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3382 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3383 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3384 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3385 partition.
3386
3387 default: 20
3388
3389 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3390 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3391 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3392 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3393 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3394 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3395 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3396 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3397 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3398 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3399 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3400 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3401
3402 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3403 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3404 without a fastmap.
3405 default: 0
3406
Heiko Schocher94b66de2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02003407 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3408 Enable UBI fastmap debug

3414 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3415 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3416

3465 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3466 loaded does not have a signature.
3467 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3468 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3469 will be caught.

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003689- Interrupt support (PPC):
3690
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003691 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3692 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003693 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003694 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003695 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003696 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003697 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003698 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3699 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3700 general timer_interrupt().

3707to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3708before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3709following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3710architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c

Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003790 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003791
3792 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx

3794 be touched.

3796 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3797 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3798 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3799 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3800 problems.

3829
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003830- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3831 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3832 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3833 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3834 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3835 space.
3836
3837 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3838 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3839 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003840 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003841 U-Boot relocates itself.
3842
Simon Glass9fa901b2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003843- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3844 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3845 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3846 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3847
Thierry Redingc97d9742014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003848- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3849 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3850 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3851 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3852 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3853 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3854 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3855 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3856 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3857 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3858 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3859 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3860 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3861 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3862 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3863 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3864
3865 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3866
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003867- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003868 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3869 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003870 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003871 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3872
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003873- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003878 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003879 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003880 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003881 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3882 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3883 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

3922 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3923 without this option such a download has to be
3924 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3925 copy from RAM to flash.
3926
3927 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3928 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003929 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3930 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003931 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

3965 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3966 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3967 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3968 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3969 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3970 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3971 this option if you really know what you are doing.

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003974 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3975 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003976 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3977 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003978 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003979 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004056
4057 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4058
4059 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4060 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4061 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4062 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4063 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4064 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4065 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4066 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4067 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4068 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4069 between U-Boot and the environment.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004081
4082 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4083 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004084 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).

4088 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4089
4090
4091 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4092 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4093 the environment.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004096
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004097 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004098 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004099 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4100 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4101
4102 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4103 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4104 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4105 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4106 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4107 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4108 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4109 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4110 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004135 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4136 can just be read and written to, without any special
4137 provision.
4138
4139BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004140in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004141console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004142U-Boot will hang.
4143
4144Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4145environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4146keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4147to save the current settings.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004181 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004182 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4183 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4184 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4185 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4186 byte chips.
4187
4188 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4189 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4190 in the chip address.

4226
4227 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4228 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4229

4241 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4242 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4243 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be

4263
4264 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4265 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4266
4267 These two #defines specify the address and size of the

4269 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004270 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang85bcd732012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004271
4272BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4273"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004274environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4275but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

4296
4297 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4298
4299 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4300 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4301 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4302 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4303 the range to be avoided.
4304
4305 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004306
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004307 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4308 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The

Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004312
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004313- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4314
4315 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the

Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004319- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4320
4321 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4322 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4323 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4324
4325 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4326
4327 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4328

4335
4336 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4337 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4338 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.

4345
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004346- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4347 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4348
4349 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4350
4351 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4352
4353 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4354
4355 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4356 be as following:
4357
4358 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4359 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4360 partition table.
4361 - "D:0": device D.
4362 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4363 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4364 table.
4365 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004366 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004367 partition table then means device D.
4368
4369 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4370
4371 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004372 environment.
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004373
4374 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004375 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.

Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004377- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4378
4379 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4380 environment.
4381
4382 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4383
4384 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4385
4386 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4387
4388 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4389 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4390 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4391
4392 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4393 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4394
4395 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4396 area within the specified MMC device.
4397
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004398 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4399 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4400 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4401 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4402 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4403 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4404 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4405
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004406 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4407 MMC sector boundary.
4408
4409 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4410
4411 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4412 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4413 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4414 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4415
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004416 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4417 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4418
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004419 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4420 an MMC sector boundary.
4421
4422 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4423
4424 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4425 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4426 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4427
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004428- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004429
4430 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4431 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4432 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4433 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4434 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4435 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4436 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4437
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004438Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004439has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004440created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004441until then to read environment variables.
4442
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004443The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4444is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4445with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4446necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4447"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4448have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004449
4450Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4451the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004452use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004493
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004494 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4495 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004498- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4499 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4500 PowerPC SOCs.
4501
4502- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4503 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4504 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4505
4506 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4507 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4508
4509- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4510 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4511 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004512 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004513 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4514 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4515 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4516
4517 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4518 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4519
4520- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004521 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4522 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004523 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4524 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4525
4526- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4527 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4528 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4529 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4530
4531- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4532 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4533 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004753- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4754 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4755
4756- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4757 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004758 to the given FEC; i. e.
4759 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004760 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4761
4762 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4763
4764- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4765 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4766 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4767
4768- CONFIG_RMII
4769 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4770 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4771 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4772
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004773- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4774 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4775 The syntax is:
4776
4777 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4778
4779 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4780 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4781 area should have.

stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004787- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4788 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4789 "md/mw" commands.
4790 Examples:
4791
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004792 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004793 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4794
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004795 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004796 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4797
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004798 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004799 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004801- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Lin1cac36e2011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004802 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004803 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4804 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4805 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004806
Wolfgang Denk302141d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004807 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4808 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4809 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4810 these initializations itself.
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004811
Simon Glass90844072016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004812- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4813 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
yeongjun Kim7a203682016-07-20 22:56:12 +09004814 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
Simon Glass90844072016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004815 instruction cache) is still performed.
4816
Aneesh V552a3192011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004817- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004818 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4819 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4820 compiling a NAND SPL.

Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004822- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4823 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4824 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4825 It is loaded by the SPL.
4826
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004827- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4828 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4829 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4830 previous 4k of the .text section.
4831
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004832- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4833 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4834 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4835 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4836 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4837 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4838 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4839 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4840
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004841- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4842 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4843 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4844 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4845 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4846
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004847- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4848 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4849 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4865-----------------------------------
4866
4867The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4868loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4869This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4870are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4871within that device.

4874 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4875 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4876 is also specified.
4877
4878- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4879 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004880 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4881 is also specified.
4882
4883- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4884 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4885 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4886 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4887 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4888
4889- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4890 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4891 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4892 virtual address in NOR flash.
4893
4894- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND

Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004906- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4907 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4908 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004909 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4910 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4911 master's memory space.

4914---------------------------------------------------------
4915The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4916"firmware".
4917This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4918are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4919within that device.
4920
4921- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4922 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4923
4924- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4925 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4926 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4927 is also specified.
4928
4929- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4930 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4931 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4932 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4933 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4934
4935- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4936 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4937 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the

Paul Kocialkowski7b917022015-07-26 18:48:15 +02004955Reproducible builds
4956-------------------
4957
4958In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4959process have to be set to a fixed value.
4960
4961This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4962SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4963option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4964
4965SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004967Building the Software:
4968======================
4969
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004970Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4971and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4972all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4973(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4974recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4975which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004976
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004977If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4978have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4979you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4980Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4981necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004982
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004983 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4984 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004985
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004986Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4987 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4988 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4989 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4990
4991 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4992
4993 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4994 be executed on computers running Windows.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004996U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4997sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004998is done by typing:
4999
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005000 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005001
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005002where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005003rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005004
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005005Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5006 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5007 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5008 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005009 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005010
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005011 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005013
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005014 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005016
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005017 etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005019
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005020Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5021images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005022
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005023- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5024- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5025- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005026
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005027By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5028in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5029this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5030
50311. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5032
5033 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005034 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005035 make O=/tmp/build all
5036
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +020050372. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005038
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005039 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005040 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005041 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005042 make all
5043
Timo Ketolac8c67602014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005044Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005045variable.
5046
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005047
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005048Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5049for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5050native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005052
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005053If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5054to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5055steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005056
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +010050571. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutterc77b4882015-12-25 14:41:18 +01005059 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
50602. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5061 your board.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050623. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5063 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050644. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050655. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5066 to be installed on your target system.
50676. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5068 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005071Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5072==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005073
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005074If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5075or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005076provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5077the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005078official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005079
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005080But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5081cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005082the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5083just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005084for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5085select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5086environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5087you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005088
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005089 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005090
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005091or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005092
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005093 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005094
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005095When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5096U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5097setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5098built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5099<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5100location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5101variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005102
5103 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5104 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5105 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5106
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005107With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5108log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5109during the whole build process.

5171
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005172Environment Variables:
5173======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005174
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005175U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5176can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005177
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005178Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5179"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5180without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5181environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5182working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5183environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005184
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005185Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5186
5187List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005188
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005189 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005190

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005192
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005193 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005194
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005195 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005196
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005197 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005198
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005199 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5200 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5201 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5202 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5203 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5204 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005205 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5206 bootm_mapsize.
5207
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005208 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005209 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5210 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5211 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5212 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5213 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5214 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005215
5216 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5217 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5218 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5219 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5220 environment variable.
5221
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005222 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5223 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5224 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5225
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005226 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5227 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5228 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5229 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005230
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005231 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5232 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5233 be automatically started (by internally calling
5234 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005235
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5237 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5238 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5239 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5240 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005241
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005242 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5243 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005244 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5245 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5246 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5247 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5248 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5249 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5250 access it during the boot procedure.
5251
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005252 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5253 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5254 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5255 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5256 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5257 must be accessible by the kernel.

Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005259 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5260 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5261 defined.
5262
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005263 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5264 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5265 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5266 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5267 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5268
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005269 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5270 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5271 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5272 is usually what you want since it allows for
5273 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5274 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005275 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005276 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5277 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5278 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5279 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005280
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005281 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5282 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5283 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5284 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5285 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5286 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005287
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005288 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005289
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005290 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5291 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5292 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5293 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5294 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5295 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5296 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005315 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5316 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005317
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005318 => setenv ethact FEC

5325 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5326
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005327 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005328 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5329 When set to "once" the network operation will
5330 fail when all the available network interfaces
5331 are tried once without success.
5332 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5333 themselves.

5345
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005346 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP

5348
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005349 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5350 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5351
5352 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5353 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5354 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5355 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5356 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5357 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5358 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5359
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)83006852015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005360 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5361 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5362 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5363 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5364 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5365 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5366 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5367
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005368 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

5373 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5374 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5375 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5376 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5377
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005378The following image location variables contain the location of images
5379used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5380not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5381variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5382server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5383loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5384flash or offset in NAND flash.
5385
5386*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevambb7d4972015-04-25 18:53:10 -03005387boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005397The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5398updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5399depending the information provided by your boot server:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005401 bootfile - see above
5402 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5403 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5404 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5405 hostname - Target hostname
5406 ipaddr - see above
5407 netmask - Subnet Mask
5408 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005412There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005413
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005414 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5416 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005417
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005418These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5419the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5420once they have been set once.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005425 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5426 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005434Callback functions for environment variables:
5435---------------------------------------------
5436
5437For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005438when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005439be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5440deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5441effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5442
5443The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5444U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5445
5446These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5447static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5448in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5449associations. The list must be in the following format:
5450
5451 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5452 list = entry[,list]
5453
5454If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5455Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5456
5457Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5458with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5459override any association in the static list. You can define
5460CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005461".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005462
Joe Hershberger6db9fd42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005463If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5464regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5465the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005471There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5472the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005473
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005474Old, simple command line parser:
5475--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005476
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005477- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5478- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005479- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005480- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5481 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005482 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005483- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5484 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005489- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5490 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5491 until...do...done, ...
5492- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5493 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5494 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5495 command

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005497General rules:

wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005499
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005500(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5501 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5502 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5503 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005504
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005505(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005506 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005507 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5508 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005509
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005510Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5511=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005512
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005513Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005514such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5515"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5518MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5519"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005520
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005521If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5522in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5523ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5524variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005525
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005526o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5527 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005528
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005529o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5530 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5531 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005532
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005550Image Formats:
5551==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005552
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005553U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5554images in two formats:
5555
5556New uImage format (FIT)
5557-----------------------
5558
5559Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5560to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5561components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5562SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5563
5564
5565Old uImage format
5566-----------------
5567
5568Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5569preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5570details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005590
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005591Linux Support:
5592==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005593
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005594Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5595easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5596U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005597
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005598U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5599special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5600"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5601instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5602serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005603
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005604- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5605 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5606 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005607
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5609 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005610
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005611- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5612 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5613 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5614 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5615 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5616 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005617
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005618
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005619Linux HOWTO:
5620============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005621
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005622Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5623---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005624
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005625U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5626configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5627(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5628Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005629
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005630But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005631
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005632Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5633include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005634Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5635and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005636as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005637
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005638Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5639If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5640is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5641doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005643
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005644Configuring the Linux kernel:
5645-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005646
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5648device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005649
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005650
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005651Building a Linux Image:
5652-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005653
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005654With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5655not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5656"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5657U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5658which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5659100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005660
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005661Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005662
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005663 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005664 make oldconfig
5665 make dep
5666 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005667
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005668The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5669encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5670CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005671
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005672* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005673
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005674* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005675
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005676 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5677 -R .note -R .comment \
5678 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005679
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005680* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005681
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005682 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005683
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005684* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005685
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005686 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5687 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5688 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005689
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005690
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005691The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5692with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5693combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5694byte header containing information about target architecture,
5695operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5696stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005697
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005698"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5699print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005700
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005701In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5702contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5703checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005704
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005705 tools/mkimage -l image
5706 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005707
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005708The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5709from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005710
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005711 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5712 -n name -d data_file image
5713 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5714 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5715 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5716 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5717 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5718 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5719 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5720 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005721
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005722Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5723address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5724kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005725
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005726- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5727- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005728
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005729So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005730

5795-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005796
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005797To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5798you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005799
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005800 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005801
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005802The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5803image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5804address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5805specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5806command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005807
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005808Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5809TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005974More About U-Boot Image Types:
5975------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005976
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005977U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005978
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005979 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5980 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5981 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5982 the Standalone Program.
5983 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5984 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5985 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5986 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5987 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5988 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5989 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5990 being started.
5991 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5992 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5993 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5994 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5995 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5996 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005997
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005998 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5999 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6000 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6001 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6002 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6003 a multiple of 4 bytes).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006004
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006005 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6006 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6007 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006008
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006009 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6010 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6011 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6012 as command interpreter.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006013
Marek Vasutcf41a9b2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006014Booting the Linux zImage:
6015-------------------------
6016
6017On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6018using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6019as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6020
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006021Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006022kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6023address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6024format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6028=================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006029
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006030One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6031run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6032U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006033

6040application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6041It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6042like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006068Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6069handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6070Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6071The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6072character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6073controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006074

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006139Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6140(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006141
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006142Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6143NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6144need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6145Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6146attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6147missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006148
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006149 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6150 # mkdir powerpc
6151 # ln -s powerpc machine
6152 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6153 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006154
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006155Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6156and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006157
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006158Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6159stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6160proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6161tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6166=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006167
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006168The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6169implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6170inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6171hardware.

6175---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006176
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006177The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6178starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6179system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6180This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6181is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6182at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6183options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6184models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6185MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6186locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006187
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006188 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006196 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6197 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6198 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6199 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6200 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006201 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006202 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6203 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006205 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6206 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006207 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006208 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6209 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6210 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6211 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006212
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006213 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006214 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6215 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006216 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006217 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6218 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6219 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6220 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6221 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006226It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6227code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006228
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006229* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6230 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006231
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006232* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006233 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6234 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006235
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006236* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6237 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006238
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006239Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006240normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006241turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6242simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6243functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6244functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6245the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6246place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6247reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006248
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006249When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6250relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6251GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006253For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6254 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006255 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006256 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6257 R5-R10: parameter passing
6258 R13: small data area pointer
6259 R30: GOT pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006262 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6263 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6264 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006268 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6269 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6270 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6271 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6272 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6273 624 text + 127 data).

6322------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006323
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006324U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6325MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006326
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006327The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6328controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6329memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6330physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006331
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006332U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6333TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6334booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6335to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006336memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006337configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6338Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006339
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006340Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6341of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006342
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006343So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6344this:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006366System Initialization:
6367----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006368
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006369In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006370(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahler03f930c2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006371configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006372To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6373To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6374initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6375which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6376part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6377the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006378
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006379Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6380preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6381(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6382on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6383programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6384simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6385banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006386
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006387When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6388different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6389bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63900x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6391contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006392
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006393Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6394and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6395Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6396pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006397
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006398Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6399until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6400running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6401new address in RAM.

6539 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006540 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006541 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6542 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006544 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6545 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6546 GNU diff.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006563Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006564
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006565* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6566 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6567 for any of the boards.
6568
6569* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6570 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6571 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006572
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006573* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6574 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6575 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6576 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6577 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6578 modification.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006579
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006580* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6581 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6582 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6583 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
