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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200260 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
Simon Glass53552c92014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
275See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000294The following options need to be configured:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
623
624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100632 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

673
674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
677 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
678 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
679 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

739
John Rigby34e21ee2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
741
742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
744 this variable to initialize the extra register.
745
746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
747
748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere

Pali Rohár4a57da32012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
809
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with

wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
816 the "silent" environment variable. See
817 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100830- Console Rx buffer length
831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
836 the SMC.
837
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000838- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200847 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000848
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ3c28f482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000851
Sonny Raocd55bde2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000852- Safe printf() functions
853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
854 the printf() functions. These are defined in
855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
857 If this option is not given then these functions will
858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
860
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
862 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
863 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger96ccaf32012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866
867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
879
880- Autoboot Command:
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
883 define a command string that is automatically executed
884 when no character is read on the console interface
885 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
886
887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
890 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891
892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 The value of these goes into the environment as
894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200896 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000897
Heiko Schocher040c5c32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100898- Bootcount:
899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
913
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000914- Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT
916
917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
938
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
941 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000943
944- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
946 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warren963a7cf2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500949 and augmenting with additional #define's
950 for wanted commands.

1063
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001064 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1065 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001067 Other Commands:
1068 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001069
1070 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001071 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001072 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1073 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1074 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1075 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1076 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1077 initial stack and some data.

1080 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1081
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001082- Regular expression support:
1083 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001084 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1085 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1086 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1087 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denk2aceea12013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001088
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001089- Device tree:
1090 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1092 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1093 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1094 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1095 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1096
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001097 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1098 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glass38d6b8d2011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001099
1100 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1101 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1102 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1103 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1104 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1105 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass3d686442011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001106
Simon Glass5cb34db2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001107 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1109 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1110 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1111
1112 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1113
1114 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1115 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1116 still use the individual files if you need something more
1117 exotic.
1118
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001119- Watchdog:
1120 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1121 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6aa4d7b2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001122 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1123 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1124 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1125 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1126 available, then no further board specific code should
1127 be needed to use it.
1128
1129 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1130 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1131 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1132 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001133
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001134- U-Boot Version:
1135 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1136 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1137 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1138 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeauce9a1552012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001139 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1140 next reset.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001141
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001142- Real-Time Clock:
1143
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001144 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001145 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1146 following options:
1147
1148 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1149 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam3f8d1782011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001150 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001151 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1fe2c702003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk0893c472003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel90491f22014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001155 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenkef5fe752003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001156 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krillb27939b2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001157 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenkaeba06f2004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001158 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001159 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher1f1b7012011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001160 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1161 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001162
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001163 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1164 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1165
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001166- GPIO Support:
1167 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001168
Chris Packham9b383202010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001169 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1170 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1171 pins supported by a particular chip.
1172
Peter Tyser9902e422008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001173 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1174 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1175
Simon Glass4dc47ca2014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001176- I/O tracing:
1177 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1178 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1179 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1180 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1181 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1182 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1183 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1184 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1185
1186 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1187 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1188 still continue to operate.
1189
1190 iotrace is enabled
1191 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1192 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1193 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1194 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1195 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1196 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1197
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001198- Timestamp Support:
1199
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001200 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1201 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1202 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001203 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001204
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001205- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1206 Zero or more of the following:
1207 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1208 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1209 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1210 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1211 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1212 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1213 disk/part_efi.c
1214 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001215
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001216 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1217 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc8b1f90a2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001218 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001219
1220- IDE Reset method:
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001221 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1222 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001223
wdenk369d43d2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001224 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1225 be performed by calling the function
1226 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1227 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001228
1229- ATAPI Support:
1230 CONFIG_ATAPI
1231
1232 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1233
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001234- LBA48 Support
1235 CONFIG_LBA48
1236
1237 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher0f602e12009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001238 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001239 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1240 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1241
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001242 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkf602aa02004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001243 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1244 Default is 32bit.
1245
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001246- SCSI Support:
1247 At the moment only there is only support for the
1248 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1249 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1250
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001251 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1253 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001254 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1255 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001256 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001257
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001258 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1259 SCSI devices found during the last scan.

Kyle Moffett64b94dd2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001263 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1264
1265 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1266 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1267 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1268 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1269
1270 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1271 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1272 example with the "sspi" command.
1273
1274 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1275 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1276 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001277
Andre Schwarz68c2a302008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001278 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC

1589 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1590 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1591 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1592 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1593 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1594
Heiko Schochere1ba1512014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001595 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1596 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1597 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1598 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1599
1600 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1601 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1602 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1603 sending again an USB request to the device.

Simon Glass599a4df2012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001810 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1811
1812 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1813 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1814 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1815 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1816 a per-section basis.
1817
Simon Glassaf3e2802012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001818 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1819
1820 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1821 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1822 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1823 is slow.

1832 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1833
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001834- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001835
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001836 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1837 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1838 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001839 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001840 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1841 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1842 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1843 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001844
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001845 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1846
1847 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1848 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini958a8f82014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001849 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanov2f3e2ca2013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001850 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1851 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1852 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1853 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1854 there is no need to set this option.
1855
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001856 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1857
1858 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1859 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1860 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1861 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1862 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1863 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1864
1865 Example:
1866 setenv splashpos m,m
1867 => image at center of screen
1868
1869 setenv splashpos 30,20
1870 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1871
1872 setenv splashpos -10,m
1873 => vertically centered image
1874 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1875
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001876- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1877
1878 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1879 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1880 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1881
Anatolij Gustschin6b4e4fc2010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001882- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1883
1884 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1885 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1886 bmp command.
1887
Lei Wene4e248d2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001888- Do compresssing for memory range:
1889 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1890
1891 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1892 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1893
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001894- Compression support:
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001895 CONFIG_GZIP
1896
1897 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1898
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001899 CONFIG_BZIP2
1900
1901 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1902 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1903 compressed images are supported.
1904
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001905 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001906 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001907 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001908
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001909 CONFIG_LZMA
1910
1911 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1912 images is included.
1913
1914 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1915 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1916 formula:
1917
1918 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1919
1920 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1921 and Literal pos bits.
1922
1923 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1924 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1925 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1926 a very small buffer.
1927
1928 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1929 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001930 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001931
Kees Cook5b06e642013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001932 CONFIG_LZO
1933
1934 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1935 is included.

1943
1944 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1945
1946 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1947
1948 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001949 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001950
1951 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1952
1953 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1954 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1955 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1956 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1957
1958 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1959
1960 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002012- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2013 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2014
2015 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2016 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002017 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002018 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2019 multicast group.
2020
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002021- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2022 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2023
2024 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2025 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2026 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2027 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2028 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2029 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2030 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2031 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002032 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002033
2034 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2035 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2036 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2037 4th and following
2038 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2039
Thierry Reding8977cda2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002040 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2041
2042 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2043 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2044 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2045 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2046 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2047 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2048 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2049 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2050 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2051 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2052 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2053 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2054 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2055 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2056 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002075
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002076 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2077 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002078
Joe Hershberger8ca7fa02012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002079 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2080 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2081 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2082 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2083 is not available.
2084
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002085 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2086 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2087 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2088 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2089 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2090 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2091 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002092 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002093
2094 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2095 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2096 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002097 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002098 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2099 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002101 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2102
2103 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2104 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2105 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2106 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2107 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2108 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2109 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2110 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2111 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2112 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2113 this delay.
2114
Joe Hershbergerb35a3a62012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002115 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2116 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2117 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2118 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2119 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2120
2121 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002165- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2166
2167 Several configurations allow to display the current
2168 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2169 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2170 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2171 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2172 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2173 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2174 feature in U-Boot.
2175
Igor Grinberg4997a9e2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002176 Additional options:
2177
2178 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2179 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2180 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2181 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2182 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2183
Igor Grinberg203bd9f2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002184 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2185 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2186 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2187 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2188 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2189 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2190
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002191- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2192
2193 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2194 on those systems that support this (optional)
2195 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002325 additional defines:
2326
2327 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2328 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2329 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2330 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2331 omit this define.
2332
2333 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2334 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2335 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2336 omit this define.
2337
2338 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2339 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2340 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2341 define.
2342
2343 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2344 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2345 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2346 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2347 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2348
2349 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2350 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \

Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002373- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schochere0e55bc2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002374
2375 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2376 provides the following compelling advantages:
2377
2378 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2379 - approved multibus support
2380 - better i2c mux support
2381
2382 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002383
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002384 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2385 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2386 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002387
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002388 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002389 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002390 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2391 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002392 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002393
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002394 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002395
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002396 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002397 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002398
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002399 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002400 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002401 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002402 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002403
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002404 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002405 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tysere4d1abc2010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002406 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2407 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2408 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002409
Eric Millbrandt12990a42009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002410 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2411
2412 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2413 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2414 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2415 commands until the slave device responds.
2416
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002417 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002418
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002419 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002420 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2421 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002422
2423 I2C_INIT
2424
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002425 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002426 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002427
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002428 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002429
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002430 I2C_PORT
2431
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002432 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2433 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2434 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002435
2436 I2C_ACTIVE
2437
2438 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2439 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2440 define can be null.
2441
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002442 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2443
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002444 I2C_TRISTATE
2445
2446 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2447 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2448 define can be null.
2449
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002450 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2451
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002452 I2C_READ
2453
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002454 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2455 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002456
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002457 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2458
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002459 I2C_SDA(bit)
2460
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002461 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2462 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002463
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002464 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002465 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002466 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002467
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002468 I2C_SCL(bit)
2469
York Sun4a598092013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002470 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2471 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002472
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002473 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002474 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002475 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002476
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002477 I2C_DELAY
2478
2479 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2480 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002481 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002482 like:
2483
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002484 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002485
Mike Frysingeree12d542010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002486 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2487
2488 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2489 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2490 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2491 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2492
2493 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2494 the generic GPIO functions.
2495
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002496 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002497
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002498 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2499 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2500 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2501 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2502 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2503 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2504 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2505 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002506
Richard Retanubundf0149c2010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002507 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2508
2509 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2510 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2511 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2512 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2513 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2514 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2515 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2516 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2517
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002518 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2519
2520 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2521 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2522 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2523
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002524 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2525
2526 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002527 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2528 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002529 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2530
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002531 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002532
2533 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002534 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002535 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2536 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002537
2538 e.g.
2539 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002540 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002541
2542 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2543
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002544 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002545 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002546
2547 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2548
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002549 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002550
2551 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2552 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002554 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002555
2556 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2557 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2558
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002559 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002560
2561 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2562 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2563
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002564 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002565
2566 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2567 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2568 specified DTT device.
2569
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002570 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2571
2572 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2573 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2574 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2575 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2576 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2577 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2578 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002580- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2581
2582 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2583 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2584 D/As on the SACSng board)
2585
Yoshihiro Shimoda65bd9b42011-01-31 16:50:43 +09002586 CONFIG_SH_SPI
2587
2588 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2589 only SH7757 is supported.
2590
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002591 CONFIG_SPI_X
2592
2593 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2594 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2595
2596 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2597
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002598 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2599 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2600 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2601 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2602 defined, the board configuration must define several
2603 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

2697- Configuration Management:
2698 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2699
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002700 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2701 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002702
2703- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2704
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002705 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2706 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002707 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002708 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2709 protects these variables from casual modification by
2710 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2711 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002712 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002713
2714 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2715 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002716 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002717 these parameters.
2718
2719 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2720 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002721 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002722 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2723 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2724 read-only.]
2725
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002726 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2727 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2728 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2729 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2730
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002731- Protected RAM:
2732 CONFIG_PRAM
2733
2734 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2735 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2736 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2737 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2738 this default value by defining an environment
2739 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2740 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2741 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2742 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2743 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2744 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2745 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2746
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002747 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002748 saveenv
2749
2750 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2751 either, which results in a memory region that will
2752 not be affected by reboots.
2753
2754 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2755 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2756 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2757 following board configurations are known to be
2758 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Blacka2f3a932012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002764- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2765 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2766 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2767 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2768 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2769 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2770 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002772- Error Recovery:
2773 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2774
2775 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2776 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2777 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002778 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002779 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2780 useful during development since you can try to debug
2781 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2782
2783 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2784
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002785 This variable defines the number of retries for
2786 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2787 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2788 default value of 5 is used.

2793
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi147e3902012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002794 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2795
2796 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2797 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2798 try longer timeout such as
2799 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

2809
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002810 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002811
2812 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2813 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2814 powerful command line syntax like
2815 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2816 constructs ("shell scripts").
2817
2818 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2819 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2820
2821
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002822 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002823
2824 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2825 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2826 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2827
2828 Note:
2829
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002830 In the current implementation, the local variables
2831 space and global environment variables space are
2832 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2833 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2834 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2835 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2836 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002837
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002838 Global environment variables are those you use
2839 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2840 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2841 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002842
2843 To store commands and special characters in a
2844 variable, please use double quotation marks
2845 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2846 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2847 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002856 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2857
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002858 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2859 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002860 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002861
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002862 For example, place something like this in your
2863 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002864
2865 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2866 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2867 "myvar2=value2\0"
2868
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002869 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2870 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2871 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2872 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002873 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002874 You better know what you are doing here.
2875
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002876 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2877 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002878 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002879 boot command first.

Stephen Warren1465d5f2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002881 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2882
2883 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2884 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2885 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2886
2887 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2888
2889 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2890 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2891 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2892 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2893 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2894
Tom Rini4c8cc9b2012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002895 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2896
2897 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2898 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2899 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2900
Simon Glass6b8d5fd2012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002901 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2902
2903 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2904 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2905 that so that the environment is not available until
2906 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2907 this is instead controlled by the value of
2908 /config/load-environment.

2912
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002913 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2914 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2915 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002916
Eric Nelson97f5f8f2012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002917- Serial Flash support
2918 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2919
2920 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2921 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2922
2923 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2924 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2925 commands.
2926
2927 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2928 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2929 flash is present on the system.
2930
2931 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier

Simon Glass4b5545e2012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002936 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2937
2938 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2939 test ('sf test').
2940
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekic6d173d2013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302941 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2942
2943 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2944 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2945
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekid7f253b2014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302946 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2947
2948 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2949 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2950 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2951
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002952- SystemACE Support:
2953 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2954
2955 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2956 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002957 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002958 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002959
2960 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002961 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002962
2963 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2964 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2965
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002966- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2967 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2968
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002969 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002970 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002971 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002972 number generator is used.
2973
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002974 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2975 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2976 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2977
2978 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002979 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2980 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2981 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2982 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2983 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2984 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2985
Simon Glass058bb8d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002986- Hashing support:
2987 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2988
2989 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2990 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2991
2992 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2993
2994 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2995 size a little.
2996
2997 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2998 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2999
3000 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3001 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3002
Robert Winkler765ccf42013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003003- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3004 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3005 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3006 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3007
3008 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3009 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3010 a boot from specific media.
3011
3012 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3013 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3014 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3015 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3016 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3017
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003018- Signing support:
3019 CONFIG_RSA
3020
3021 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel49dc73b2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003022 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass35191a32013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003023
3024 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3025 option.
3026
Heiko Schocher443ca402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003027- bootcount support:
3028 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3029
3030 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3031 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3032
3033 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3034 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3035 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3036 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3037 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3038 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3039 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3040 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3041 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3042 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3043 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3044 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3045 the bootcounter.
3046 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003048- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003049 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3050
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003051 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3052 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3053 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3054 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3055 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3056 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003057
Simon Glass31a870e2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003058- Detailed boot stage timing
3059 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3060 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3061 of the boot process.
3062
3063 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3064 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3065 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3066 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3067 the limit, recording will stop.
3068
3069 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3070 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3071
3072 Timer summary in microseconds:
3073 Mark Elapsed Stage
3074 0 0 reset
3075 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3076 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3077 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
3078 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
3079 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3080 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3081 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3082
Simon Glass4afd88e2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003083 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3084 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3085 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3086
Simon Glass0fa36a42012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003087 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3088 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3089 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3090 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3091 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3092 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3093 For example:
3094
3095 bootstage {
3096 154 {
3097 name = "board_init_f";
3098 mark = <3575678>;
3099 };
3100 170 {
3101 name = "lcd";
3102 accum = <33482>;
3103 };
3104 };
3105
3106 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3302
Wolfgang Denk23f78482011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003303 This option defines a board specific value for the
3304 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3305 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3313 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3314 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3315 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3316 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3317 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3318 configured panel size.

3348 with the UBI flash translation layer
3349

3351

3353
3354 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3355 warnings and errors enabled.
3356
Heiko Schocherf5895d12014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003357
3358 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3359 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3360 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3361 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3362 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3363 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3364
3365 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3366 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3367 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3368 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3369 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3370
3371 default: 4096
3372
3373 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3374 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3375 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3376 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3377 flash), this value is ignored.
3378
3379 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3380 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3381 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3382 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3383 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3384 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3385
3386 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3387 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3388 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3389 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3390 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3391 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3392 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3393 partition.
3394
3395 default: 20
3396
3397 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3398 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3399 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3400 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3401 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3402 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3403 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3404 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3405 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3406 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3407 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3408 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3409
3410 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3411 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3412 without a fastmap.
3413 default: 0
3414
Joe Hershberger7d80fc12013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003415- UBIFS support

3418 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3419 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3420
3421 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3422
Joe Hershberger47550fc2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003423 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

Scott Woodeb7bd972012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003629 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
Benoît Thébaudeauf0180722013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003630 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3631 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3632 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3633 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3634 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
Scott Woodeb7bd972012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003635
Scott Woodf147eb72012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003636 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3637 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3638 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3639 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3640
Simon Glass82d94532013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003641 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3642 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3643 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3644 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3645 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3646
Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08003647- TPL framework
3648 CONFIG_TPL
3649 Enable building of TPL globally.
3650
3651 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3652 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3653 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
Wolfgang Denkec7fbf52013-10-04 17:43:24 +02003654 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3655 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3656 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003658Modem Support:
3659--------------
3660
Wolfgang Denk8f399b32011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003661[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003662
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003663- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003664 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3665
3666- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3667 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3668
3669- Modem debug support:
3670 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3671
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003672 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3673 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003674
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003675- Interrupt support (PPC):
3676
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003677 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3678 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003679 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003680 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003681 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003682 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003683 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003684 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3685 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3686 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003687
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003688- General:
3689
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003690 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3691 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3692 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003693 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003694 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3695 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3696 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003697
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003698 If there are no modem init strings in the
3699 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3700 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003701 suppressed, though.

3706------------------------------
3707
3708During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3709to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3710before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3711following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3712architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3713typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3714
3715- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()

wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003752 If the board specific function
3753 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3754 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003755 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3756
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003757- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE

3762
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003763- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003764 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3765 simple memory test.
3766
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003767- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003768 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003769
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003770- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5958f4a2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003771 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3772 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3773
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003774- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3775 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003776 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003777 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003778 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3779 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3780 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003781 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003782 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003783 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003784
3785 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3786 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3787 be touched.
3788
3789 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3790 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3791 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3792 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3793 problems.

3803 Cogent motherboard)
3804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003805- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003806 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3807
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003808- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003809 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3810 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk0708bc62010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003811 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003812 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003813
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003814- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003815 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3816 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3817 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3818 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003819
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003820- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:

3822
Simon Glass863e4042014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003823- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3824 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3825 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3826 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3827 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3828 space.
3829
3830 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3831 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3832 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3833 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3834 U-Boot relocates itself.
3835
Simon Glass0cc6f5c2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003836 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on sandbox
3837 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3838
Simon Glass1f36da02014-07-10 22:23:29 -06003839 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM at present
3840 but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3841
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003842- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003843 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3844 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003845 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese5d5ce292006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003846 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3847
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003848- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003849 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3850 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3852 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003853 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003854 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003855 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003856 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3857 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3858 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003859
John Rigbyeea8e692010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003860- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3861 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3862 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3863 is enabled.
3864
3865- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3866 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between

3890
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003891- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenkdccbda02003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003892 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3893 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3894
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003895- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003896
3897 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3898 without this option such a download has to be
3899 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3900 copy from RAM to flash.
3901
3902 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3903 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003904 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3905 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003906 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3907
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003908- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003909 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003910 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3911
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD8d94c232008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003912- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk2cefd152004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003913 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver

Piotr Ziecik3e939e92008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003916- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3917 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3918 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3919 to the MTD layer.
3920
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003921- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski183284f2008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003922 Use buffered writes to flash.
3923

3926 write commands.
3927
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003928- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roesec443fe92005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003929 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3930 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3931 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3932 optionally available.
3933
Jerry Van Barenaae73572008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003934- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3935 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3936 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3937 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3938
Stefan Roesed20cba52013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003939- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3940 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3941 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3942 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3943 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3944 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3945 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3946 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3947
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003948- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003949 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3950 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003951 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3952 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003953 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003954 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

3959 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3960 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3961 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3962 lib/hashtable.c for details.

Robert P. J. Day832d36e2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003966 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger71497d02012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003967 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3968 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3969 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3970
3971 The format of the list is:
3972 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003973 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]

3994 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3995
3996 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3997 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3998 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3999 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4000 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4001 ".flags" variable.
4002
Joe Hershberger6fe26c92012-12-11 22:16:34 -06004003- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE

4005 access flags.
4006
Simon Glass66828322013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004007- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4008 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4009 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4010 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4011 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4012 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4013 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4014 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4015 your board please report the problem and send patches!
4016
Lokesh Vutla100c2d82013-04-17 20:49:40 +00004017- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4018 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4019 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4020 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004022The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4023of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4024following configurations:
4025
Mike Frysinger63b8f122011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004026- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4027
4028 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4029 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4030
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004031- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004032
4033 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4034
4035 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4036 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4037 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4038 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4039 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4040 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4041 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4042 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4043 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4044 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4045 between U-Boot and the environment.
4046
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004047 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004048
4049 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4050 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4051 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4052 for this sector is given here.
4053
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004054 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004055
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004056 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004057
4058 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4059 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004060 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004061
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004062 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004063
4064 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4065
4066
4067 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4068 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4069 the environment.
4070
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004071 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004072
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004073 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004074 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004075 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4076 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4077
4078 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4079 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4080 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4081 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4082 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4083 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4084 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4085 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4086 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4087
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004088 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4089 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004090
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004091 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004092 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004093 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004094 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004095
4096BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4097source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4098accordingly!
4099
4100
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004101- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004102
4103 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4104 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4105 environment.
4106
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004107 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4108 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004109
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004110 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004111 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4112 can just be read and written to, without any special
4113 provision.
4114
4115BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4116in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004117console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004118U-Boot will hang.
4119
4120Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4121environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4122keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4123to save the current settings.
4124
4125
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004126- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004127
4128 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4129 device and a driver for it.
4130
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004131 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4132 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004133
4134 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4135 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4136
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004137 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004138 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4139 The default address is zero.
4140
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004141 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004142 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4143 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4144 would require six bits.
4145
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004146 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004147 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004148 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004149
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004150 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004151 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4152 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4153
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004154 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004155 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4156 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4157 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4158 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4159 byte chips.
4160
4161 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4162 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4163 in the chip address.
4164
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004165 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004166 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4167
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004168 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4169 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4170 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4171
4172 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4173 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4174 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4175 EEPROM. For example:
4176
Heiko Schocher479a4cf2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004177 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher9bb0dd52010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004178
4179 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over

4213 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4214 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4215 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4216 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be

4235 want to use for the local device's environment.
4236
4237 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4238 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4239
4240 These two #defines specify the address and size of the

4245BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4246"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004247environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4248but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004264 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004265 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so

Scott Wood08239322010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004268 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4269
4270 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4271
4272 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4273 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4274 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4275 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4276 the range to be avoided.
4277
4278 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004279

Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004286- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4287
4288 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4289 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4290 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4291
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004292- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4293
4294 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4295 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4296 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4297
4298 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4299
4300 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4301
4302 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4303
4304 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4305 environment in.
4306
Joe Hershbergerdb14e862013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004307 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4308
4309 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4310 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4311 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4312
Joe Hershberger0c5faa82013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004313 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4314 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4315
4316 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4317 when storing the env in UBI.
4318
Wu, Josha7d0c872014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004319- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4320 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4321
4322 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4323
4324 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4325
4326 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4327
4328 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4329 be as following:
4330
4331 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4332 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4333 partition table.
4334 - "D:0": device D.
4335 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4336 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4337 table.
4338 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4339 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4340 partition table then means device D.
4341
4342 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4343
4344 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4345 envrionment.
4346
4347 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4348 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4349
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004350- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4351
4352 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4353 environment.
4354
4355 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4356
4357 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4358
4359 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4360
4361 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4362 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4363 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4364
4365 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4366 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4367
4368 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4369 area within the specified MMC device.
4370
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004371 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4372 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4373 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4374 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4375 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4376 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4377 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4378
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004379 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4380 MMC sector boundary.
4381
4382 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4383
4384 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4385 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4386 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4387 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4388
Stephen Warren24dc2032013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004389 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4390 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4391
Stephen Warreneedcacd2013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004392 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4393 an MMC sector boundary.
4394
4395 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4396
4397 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4398 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4399 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4400
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004401- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004402
4403 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4404 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4405 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4406 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4407 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4408 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4409 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4410
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004411Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004412has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denk76af2782010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004413created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004414until then to read environment variables.
4415
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004416The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4417is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4418with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4419necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4420"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4421have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004422
4423Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4424the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004425use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004430 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenk49c3f672003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004431 also needs to be defined.
4432
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004433- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madriddfa028a2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004436- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4437 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4438 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4439 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4440 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4441 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4442
Simon Glass28a9e332012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004443- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4444 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4445 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4446 to do this.
4447
Simon Glasse8822012012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004448- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4449 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4450 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4451 present.
4452
Sascha Silbe4b9c17c2013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004453- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4454 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4455 build system checks that the actual size does not
4456 exceed it.

wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004466
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004467 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004471- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4472 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4473 PowerPC SOCs.
4474
4475- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4476 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4477 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4478
4479 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4480 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4481
4482- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4483 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4484 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004485 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004486 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4487 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4488 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4489
4490 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4491 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4492
4493- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denkd590fb12011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004494 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4495 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabid8f341c2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004496 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4497 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4498
4499- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4500 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4501 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4502 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4503
4504- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4505 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4506 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4536 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4537 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4538 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4539 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4540 is requierd.

Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004780 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4781 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4782 compiling a NAND SPL.

Ying Zhang2d2e3b62013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004784- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4785 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4786 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4787 It is loaded by the SPL.
4788
Ying Zhang0d4f5442013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004789- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4790 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4791 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4792 previous 4k of the .text section.
4793
Simon Glass17dabf02013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004794- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4795 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4796 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4797 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4798 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4799 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4800 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4801 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4802
Matthias Weisser93416c12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004803- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4804 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4805 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4806 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4807 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4808
Simon Glassbfb59802013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004809- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4810 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4811 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004826Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4827-----------------------------------
4828
4829The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4830loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4831This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4832are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4833within that device.
4834
Zhao Qiang83a90842014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004835- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4836 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4837 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4838 is also specified.
4839
4840- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4841 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabi275f4bb2011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004842 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4843 is also specified.
4844
4845- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4846 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4847 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4848 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4849 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4850
4851- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4852 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4853 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4854 virtual address in NOR flash.
4855
4856- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4857 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4858 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4859
4860- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4861 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4862 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4863
4864- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4865 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4866 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4867
Liu Gang1e084582012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004868- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4869 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4870 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gang357bf5a2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004871 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4872 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4873 master's memory space.

J. German Rivera8ff14b72014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004875Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4876---------------------------------------------------------
4877The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4878"firmware".
4879This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4880are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4881within that device.
4882
4883- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4884 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4885
4886- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4887 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4888 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4889 is also specified.
4890
4891- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4892 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4893 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4894 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4895 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4896
4897- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4898 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4899 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4900 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004902Building the Software:
4903======================
4904
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004905Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4906and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4907all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4908(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4909recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4910which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004911
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004912If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4913have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4914you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4915Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4916necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004917
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004918 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4919 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004920
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004921Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4922 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4923 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4924 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4925
4926 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4927
4928 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4929 be executed on computers running Windows.
4930
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004931U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4932sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004933is done by typing:
4934
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004935 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004936
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004937where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004938rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004939
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004940Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4941 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4942 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4943 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004944 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004945
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004946 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004947 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004948
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004949 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004950 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004951
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004952 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004953
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004954
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004955Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4956images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004957
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004958- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4959- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4960- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004961
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004962By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4963in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4964this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4965
49661. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4967
4968 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004969 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004970 make O=/tmp/build all
4971
49722. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4973
4974 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4975 make distclean
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004976 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004977 make all
4978
4979Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4980variable.
4981
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004982
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004983Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4984for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4985native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004986
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004987
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004988If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4989to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4990steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004991
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049921. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones5a7fb6f2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004993 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4994 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049952. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4996 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4997 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
49983. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4999 your board
50003. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5001 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050024. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050035. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5004 to be installed on your target system.
50056. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5006 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005007
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005008
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005009Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5010==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005011
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005012If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5013or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005014provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5015the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005016official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005017
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005018But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5019cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005020the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5021just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005022for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5023select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5024environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5025you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005026
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005027 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005028
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005029or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005030
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005031 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005032
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005033When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5034U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5035setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5036built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5037<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5038location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5039variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005040
5041 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5042 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5043 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5044
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005045With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5046log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5047during the whole build process.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005110Environment Variables:
5111======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005112
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005113U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5114can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005115
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005116Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5117"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5118without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5119environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5120working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5121environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005122
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005123Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5124
5125List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005126
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005127 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005130
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005131 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005132
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005133 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005134
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005135 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005136
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005137 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5138 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5139 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5140 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5141 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5142 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005143 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5144 bootm_mapsize.
5145
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005146 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likely26396382011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005147 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5148 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5149 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5150 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5151 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5152 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005153
5154 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5155 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5156 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5157 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5158 environment variable.
5159
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005160 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5161 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5162 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5163
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005164 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5165 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5166 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5167 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005168
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005169 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5170 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5171 be automatically started (by internally calling
5172 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005173
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005174 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5175 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5176 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5177 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5178 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005179
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005180 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5181 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guo0ca9e982012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005182 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5183 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5184 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5185 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5186 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5187 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5188 access it during the boot procedure.
5189
David A. Longd558a4e2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005190 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5191 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5192 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5193 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5194 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5195 must be accessible by the kernel.
5196
Simon Glassdc6fa642011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005197 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5198 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5199 defined.
5200
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005201 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5202 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5203 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5204 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5205 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5206
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005207 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5208 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5209 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5210 is usually what you want since it allows for
5211 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5212 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005213 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005214 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5215 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5216 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5217 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005218
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005219 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5220 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5221 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5222 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5223 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5224 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005225
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005226 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005227
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005228 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5229 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5230 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5231 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5232 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5233 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5234 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005235
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005248
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005249 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005250
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005251 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005252
Mike Frysingera23230c2011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005253 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5254 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005255
Heiko Schocherc5e84052010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005256 => setenv ethact FEC
5257 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5258 => setenv ethact SCC
5259 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005260
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005261 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5262 available network interfaces.
5263 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5264
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005265 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005266 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5267 When set to "once" the network operation will
5268 fail when all the available network interfaces
5269 are tried once without success.
5270 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5271 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005272
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005273 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDd2164ef2008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005274
Simon Glass5db3f932013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005275 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5276 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5277 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5278 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5279 is silent.
5280
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005281 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005282 UDP source port.
5283
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005284 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5285 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5286
Wolfgang Denkb233bd72010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005287 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5288 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5289
5290 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5291 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5292 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5293 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5294 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5295 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5296 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5297
5298 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005299 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005300 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005301
Jason Hobbse3fe08e2011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005302The following image location variables contain the location of images
5303used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5304not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5305variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5306server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5307loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5308flash or offset in NAND flash.
5309
5310*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5311boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5312boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005321The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5322updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5323depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005324
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005325 bootfile - see above
5326 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5327 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5328 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5329 hostname - Target hostname
5330 ipaddr - see above
5331 netmask - Subnet Mask
5332 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5333 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005334

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005336There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005337
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5339 as type string and/or serial number
5340 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005341
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005342These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5343the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5344once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005345
5346
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005347Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005348
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005349 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5350 with the "version" command. This variable is
5351 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger60fd3ad2012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005358Callback functions for environment variables:
5359---------------------------------------------
5360
5361For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5362when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5363be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5364deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5365effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5366
5367The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5368U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5369
5370These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5371static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5372in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5373associations. The list must be in the following format:
5374
5375 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5376 list = entry[,list]
5377
5378If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5379Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5380
5381Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5382with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5383override any association in the static list. You can define
5384CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5385".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5389=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005390
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005391There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5392the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005393
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005394Old, simple command line parser:
5395--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005396
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005397- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5398- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005399- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005400- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5401 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005402 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005403- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5404 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005405
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005406Hush shell:
5407-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005408
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005409- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5410 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5411 until...do...done, ...
5412- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5413 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5414 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5415 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005416
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005417General rules:
5418--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005419
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005420(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5421 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5422 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5423 executed anyway.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005424
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005425(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005426 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005427 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5428 variables are not executed.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005430Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5431=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005432
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005433Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005434such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5435"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005436
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005437Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5438MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5439"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005440
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005441If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5442in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5443ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5444variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005445
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5447 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005448
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005449o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5450 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5451 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005452
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005453o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5454 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005455
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005456o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5457 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5458 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005459
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005460o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5461 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005462
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005463If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denk092ae952011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005464will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warren6db991a2010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005465may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5466The naming convention is as follows:
5467"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005468
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005469Image Formats:
5470==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005471
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005472U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5473images in two formats:
5474
5475New uImage format (FIT)
5476-----------------------
5477
5478Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5479to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5480components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5481SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5482
5483
5484Old uImage format
5485-----------------
5486
5487Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5488preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5489details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005490
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005491* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005505The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5506and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5507CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005508
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005509
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005510Linux Support:
5511==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005512
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5514easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5515U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005516
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005517U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5518special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5519"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5520instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5521serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005522
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005523- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5524 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5525 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005526
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005527- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5528 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005529
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005530- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5531 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5532 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5533 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5534 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5535 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005536
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005537
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005538Linux HOWTO:
5539============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005540
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005541Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5542---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005543
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005544U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5545configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5546(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5547Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005548
Stefan Roese88fbf932010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005549But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005550
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005551Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5552include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005553Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5554and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005555as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005556
Simon Glassd097e592014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005557Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5558If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5559is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5560doc/driver-model.
5561
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005562
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005563Configuring the Linux kernel:
5564-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005565
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005566No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5567device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005568
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005569
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005570Building a Linux Image:
5571-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005572
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005573With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5574not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5575"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5576U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5577which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5578100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005579
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005580Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005581
Holger Freyther7ba4e572014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005582 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005583 make oldconfig
5584 make dep
5585 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005586
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005587The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5588encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5589CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005590
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005591* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005592
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005593* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005594
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005595 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5596 -R .note -R .comment \
5597 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005598
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005599* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005600
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005601 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005602
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005603* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005604
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5606 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5607 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005608
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005609
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005610The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5611with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5612combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5613byte header containing information about target architecture,
5614operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5615stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005616
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005617"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5618print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005619
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5621contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5622checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005623
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005624 tools/mkimage -l image
5625 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005626
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005627The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5628from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005629
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005630 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5631 -n name -d data_file image
5632 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5633 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5634 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5635 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5636 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5637 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5638 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5639 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'

wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005641Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5642address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5643kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005644
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005645- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5646- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005647
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005649

5672speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5673needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5674need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreira51553812013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005702The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5703option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5704option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5705from the image:
5706
5707 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5708 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005712Installing a Linux Image:
5713-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005714
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005715To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5716you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005717
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005718 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005719
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005720The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5721image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5722address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5723specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5724command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005725
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005726Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005892More About U-Boot Image Types:
5893------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005894
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005895U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005896
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005897 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5898 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5899 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5900 the Standalone Program.
5901 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5902 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5903 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5904 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5905 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5906 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5907 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5908 being started.
5909 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5910 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5911 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5912 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5913 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5914 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005915
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005916 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5917 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5918 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5919 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005923 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5924 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5925 flash memory.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005927 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5928 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5929 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5930 as command interpreter.

5933-------------------------
5934
5935On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5936using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5937as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5938
Tom Rini45f46d12013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005939Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut28850d02012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005940kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5941address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5942format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005948One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5949run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5950U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005986Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5987handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5988Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5989The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5990character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5991controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005992

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006057Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6058(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006059
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006060Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6061NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6062need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6063Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6064attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6065missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006066
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006067 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6068 # mkdir powerpc
6069 # ln -s powerpc machine
6070 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6071 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00006072
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006073Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6074and U-Boot include files.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006076Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6077stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6078proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6079tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6084=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006085
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006086The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6087implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6088inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6089hardware.

6093---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006094
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006095The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6096starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6097system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6098This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6099is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6100at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6101options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6102models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6103MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6104locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006106 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006114 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6115 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6116 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6117 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6118 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006119 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006120 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6121 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006122
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006123 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6124 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006125 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006126 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6127 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6128 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6129 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006130
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006131 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006132 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6133 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006134 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006135 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6136 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6137 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6138 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6139 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006144It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6145code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006146
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006147* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6148 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006149
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006150* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006151 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6152 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006153
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006154* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6155 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006156
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006157Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6158normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6159turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6160simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6161functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6162functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6163the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6164place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6165reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006166
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006167When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6168relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6169GCC's implementation.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006171For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:

Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006173 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006174 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6175 R5-R10: parameter passing
6176 R13: small data area pointer
6177 R30: GOT pointer
6178 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlund693c0c12010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006180 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6181 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6182 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006183
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006184 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006185
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006186 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6187 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6188 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6189 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6190 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6191 624 text + 127 data).

6216
6217 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6218
6219 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6220 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

6235
Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02006236NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6237or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006239Memory Management:
6240------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006241
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006242U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6243MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006244
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006245The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6246controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6247memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6248physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006249
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006250U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6251TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6252booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6253to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006254memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006255configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6256Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006257
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006258Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6259of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006260
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006261So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6262this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006263
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006264 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6265 :
6266 0x0000 1FFF
6267 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6268 :
6269 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006270
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271 :
6272 :
6273 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6274 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6275 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6276 :
6277 0x00FD FFFF
6278 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6279 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6280 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6281 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006282
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006283
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006284System Initialization:
6285----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006286
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006287In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006288(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006289configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6290To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6291To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6292initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6293which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6294part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6295the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006296
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006297Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6298preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6299(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6300on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6301programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6302simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6303banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006304
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006305When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6306different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6307bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63080x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6309contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006310
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006311Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6312and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6313Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6314pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006315
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006316Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6317until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6318running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6319new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006399All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006400coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006401"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006402
6403Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6404MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6405reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6406sources.

Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006408Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6409Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6410in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00006411
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006412Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6413- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006414- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006415- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk20bd2a62011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006416- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006458 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6459 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006461 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6462 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6463 GNU diff.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006482* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6483 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6484 for any of the boards.
6485
6486* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6487 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6488 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006490* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6491 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6492 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6493 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6494 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6495 modification.

Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006497* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6498 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6499 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6500 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
