| 24 | Summary: |
| 25 | ======== |
| 26 | |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for |
wdenk | ce4832c | 2004-10-17 21:12:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other |
| 29 | processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to |
| 30 | initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application |
| 31 | code. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | |
| 33 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some |
| 35 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 36 | support booting of Linux images. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily |
| 39 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are |
| 40 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to |
| 41 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used |
| 42 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can |
| 43 | load and run it dynamically. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Status: |
| 47 | ======= |
| 48 | |
| 49 | In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 50 | Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 51 | "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. |

| 104 | Names and Spelling: |
| 105 | =================== |
| 106 | |
| 107 | The "official" name of this project is "Das U-Boot". The spelling |
| 108 | "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments |
| 109 | in source files etc.). Example: |
| 110 | |
| 111 | This is the README file for the U-Boot project. |
| 112 | |
| 113 | File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples: |
| 114 | |
| 115 | include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h |
| 116 | |
| 117 | #include <asm/u-boot.h> |
| 118 | |
| 119 | Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on |
| 120 | the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example: |

wdenk | 7474aca | 2002-12-17 17:55:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 126 | Versioning: |
| 127 | =========== |
| 128 | |
| 129 | U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a |
| 130 | sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2", |
| 131 | sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4". |
| 132 | |
| 133 | The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development |
| 134 | between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of |
| 135 | U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0". |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 200 | Software Configuration: |
| 201 | ======================= |
| 202 | |
| 203 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the |
| 204 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | There are two classes of configuration variables: |
| 207 | |
| 208 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: |
| 209 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with |
| 210 | "CONFIG_". |
| 211 | |
| 212 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: |
| 213 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if |
| 214 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with |
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD | 0383694 | 2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 215 | "CONFIG_SYS_". |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 216 | |
| 217 | Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even |
| 218 | identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to |
| 219 | do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic |
| 220 | links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards |
| 221 | as an example here. |
| 222 | |
| 223 | |
| 224 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: |
| 225 | --------------------------------------------------- |
| 226 | |
| 227 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default |
| 228 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". |
| 229 | |
| 230 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: |
| 231 | |
| 232 | cd u-boot |
| 233 | make TQM823L_config |
| 234 | |
Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 235 | For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 236 | e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent |
| 237 | directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | |
| 240 | Configuration Options: |
| 241 | ---------------------- |
| 242 | |
| 243 | Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all |
| 244 | such information is kept in a configuration file |
| 245 | "include/configs/<board_name>.h". |
| 246 | |
| 247 | Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in |
| 248 | "include/configs/TQM823L.h". |
| 249 | |
| 250 | |
wdenk | 1272e23 | 2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 251 | Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux |
| 252 | kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to |
| 253 | build a config tool - later. |
| 254 | |
| 255 | |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 256 | The following options need to be configured: |
| 257 | |

| 1127 | This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, |
| 1128 | for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a |

| 1261 | This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't |

| 1314 | |
| 1315 | Several configurations allow to display the current |
| 1316 | status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink |
| 1317 | fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as |
| 1318 | soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and |
| 1319 | start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running |
| 1320 | (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux |
| 1321 | kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this |
| 1322 | feature in U-Boot. |

| 1504 | new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for |
| 1505 | the muxes to activate this new "bus". |
| 1506 | |
| 1507 | CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this |
| 1508 | feature! |
| 1509 | |
| 1510 | Example: |
| 1511 | Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes |
| 1512 | The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 |
| 1513 | The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 |
| 1514 | |
| 1515 | => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 |
| 1516 | |
| 1517 | Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list |
| 1518 | of I2C Busses with muxes: |
| 1519 | |
| 1520 | => i2c bus |
| 1521 | Busses reached over muxes: |
| 1522 | Bus ID: 2 |
| 1523 | reached over Mux(es): |
| 1524 | pca9544a@70 ch: 4 |
| 1525 | Bus ID: 3 |
| 1526 | reached over Mux(es): |
| 1527 | pca9544a@70 ch: 6 |
| 1528 | pca9544a@71 ch: 4 |
| 1529 | => |
| 1530 | |
| 1531 | If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" |
| 1532 | u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable |
| 1533 | channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable |
| 1534 | the channel 4. |
| 1535 | |
| 1536 | After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as |
| 1537 | usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind |
| 1538 | the 2 muxes. |
| 1539 | |
| 1540 | This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging |
| 1541 | algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C |
| 1542 | Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult |
| 1543 | to add this option to other architectures. |

| 1546 | |
| 1547 | defining this will force the i2c_read() function in |
| 1548 | the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start |
| 1549 | between writing the address pointer and reading the |
| 1550 | data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour |
| 1551 | of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C |
| 1552 | devices can use either method, but some require one or |
| 1553 | the other. |

wdenk | 4a5c8a7 | 2003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1658 | U-Boot considers the values of the environment |

wdenk | eb20ad3 | 2003-09-05 23:19:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1660 | "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that |

| 1662 | protects these variables from casual modification by |
| 1663 | the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, |
| 1664 | and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can |
Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1665 | change this behaviour: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1666 | |
| 1667 | If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config |

| 1671 | |
| 1672 | Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR |
| 1673 | _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default |
Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1674 | Ethernet address is installed in the environment, |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1675 | which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The |

| 1678 | |

| 1681 | |
| 1682 | Define this variable to enable the reservation of |
| 1683 | "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten |
| 1684 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of |
| 1685 | kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite |
| 1686 | this default value by defining an environment |
| 1687 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to |
| 1688 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will |
| 1689 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is |
| 1690 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will |
| 1691 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of |
| 1692 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot |
| 1693 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: |
| 1694 | |
Wolfgang Denk | 86eb3b7 | 2005-11-20 21:40:11 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 1695 | setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1696 | saveenv |
| 1697 | |
| 1698 | This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, |
| 1699 | either, which results in a memory region that will |
| 1700 | not be affected by reboots. |
| 1701 | |
| 1702 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic |
| 1703 | detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that |
| 1704 | this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the |
| 1705 | following board configurations are known to be |
| 1706 | "pRAM-clean": |
| 1707 | |
| 1708 | ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, |

Wolfgang Denk | 227b519 | 2005-09-24 23:25:46 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1838 | If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp |
Wolfgang Denk | e3cfce5 | 2005-09-24 22:37:32 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1839 | is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. |
Wolfgang Denk | 227b519 | 2005-09-24 23:25:46 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1840 | If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port |
Wolfgang Denk | e3cfce5 | 2005-09-24 22:37:32 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1841 | number generator is used. |
| 1842 | |
Wolfgang Denk | 227b519 | 2005-09-24 23:25:46 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1843 | Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply |
| 1844 | the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't |
| 1845 | defined, the normal port 69 is used. |
| 1846 | |
| 1847 | The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to |
Wolfgang Denk | e3cfce5 | 2005-09-24 22:37:32 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1848 | blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured |
| 1849 | target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of |
| 1850 | "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing |
| 1851 | the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. |
| 1852 | A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, |
| 1853 | but sometimes that is not allowed. |

| 2280 | following configurations: |
| 2281 | |

| 2284 | Define this if the environment is in flash memory. |
| 2285 | |
| 2286 | a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is |
| 2287 | "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This |
| 2288 | happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot |
| 2289 | sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller |
| 2290 | sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a |
| 2291 | layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In |
| 2292 | such a case you would place the environment in one of the |
| 2293 | 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With |
| 2294 | "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the |
| 2295 | environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap |
| 2296 | between U-Boot and the environment. |

| 2316 | |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2326 | of this flash sector for the environment. This saves |
| 2327 | memory for the RAM copy of the environment. |
| 2328 | |
| 2329 | It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this |
| 2330 | when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, |
| 2331 | since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used |
| 2332 | for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is |
| 2333 | STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: |
| 2334 | updating the environment in flash makes it always |
| 2335 | necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes |
| 2336 | wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in |

Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2744 | Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments |
| 2745 | and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support |
| 2746 | all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all |
| 2747 | (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we |
| 2748 | recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) |
| 2749 | which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2750 | |
Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2751 | If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you |
| 2752 | have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, |
| 2753 | you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. |
| 2754 | Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are |
| 2755 | necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2756 | |

Marian Balakowicz | efe063f | 2006-09-07 17:25:40 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 2801 | By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved |

| 2803 | this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: |
| 2804 | |
| 2805 | 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations: |
| 2806 | |
| 2807 | make O=/tmp/build distclean |
| 2808 | make O=/tmp/build NAME_config |
| 2809 | make O=/tmp/build all |

| 2812 | |
| 2813 | export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build |
| 2814 | make distclean |
| 2815 | make NAME_config |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2827 | If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need |
| 2828 | to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these |
| 2829 | steps: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2830 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2831 | 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel |
| 2832 | "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing |
| 2833 | entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places |
| 2834 | boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please |
| 2835 | keep this order. |
| 2836 | 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any |
| 2837 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least |
| 2838 | the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". |
| 2839 | 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for |
| 2840 | your board |
| 2841 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new |
| 2842 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. |
| 2843 | 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. |
| 2844 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file |
| 2845 | to be installed on your target system. |
| 2846 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. |
| 2847 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] |

Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2853 | If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2855 | provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes |
| 2856 | the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest |
Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2857 | official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. |

Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2859 | But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- |
| 2860 | cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2861 | the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, |
| 2862 | just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot |
Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2863 | for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can |
| 2864 | select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' |
| 2865 | environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools |
| 2866 | you can type |

Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2874 | When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build |
| 2875 | U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by |
| 2876 | setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target |
| 2877 | built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and |
| 2878 | <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default |
| 2879 | location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment |
| 2880 | variable. For example: |
Marian Balakowicz | efe063f | 2006-09-07 17:25:40 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 2881 | |
| 2882 | export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build |

| 2885 | |
Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 2886 | With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, |
| 2887 | log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean |
| 2888 | during the whole build process. |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3146 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3147 | - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) |
| 3148 | - several commands on one line, separated by ';' |
Wolfgang Denk | 86eb3b7 | 2005-11-20 21:40:11 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 3149 | - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3150 | - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', |
| 3151 | for example: |
Wolfgang Denk | 86eb3b7 | 2005-11-20 21:40:11 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 3152 | setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3153 | - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: |
| 3154 | setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' |

| 3160 | if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, |

| 3164 | "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" |
| 3165 | command |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3170 | (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" |
| 3171 | command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and |
| 3172 | one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be |
| 3173 | executed anyway. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3175 | (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. |
Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3176 | calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3177 | command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining |

Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3183 | Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3184 | such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a |
| 3185 | "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: |
wdenk | f4688a2 | 2003-05-28 08:06:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3186 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3187 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding |
| 3188 | MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), |
| 3189 | "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... |
wdenk | f4688a2 | 2003-05-28 08:06:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3190 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3191 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance |
| 3192 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- |
| 3193 | ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment |
| 3194 | variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3196 | o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the |
| 3197 | environment, the SROM's address is used. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3206 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the |
| 3207 | addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a |

| 3215 | ============== |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3216 | |
Marian Balakowicz | 18710b8 | 2008-03-12 12:13:13 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 3217 | U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) |
| 3218 | images in two formats: |
| 3219 | |
| 3220 | New uImage format (FIT) |
| 3221 | ----------------------- |
| 3222 | |
| 3223 | Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar |
| 3224 | to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple |
| 3225 | components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by |
| 3226 | SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. |
| 3227 | |
| 3228 | |
| 3229 | Old uImage format |
| 3230 | ----------------- |
| 3231 | |
| 3232 | Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, |
| 3233 | preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for |
| 3234 | details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: |

| 3256 | ============== |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3257 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3258 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application |
| 3259 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of |
| 3260 | U-Boot. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3261 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3262 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some |
| 3263 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any |
| 3264 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; |
| 3265 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation |
| 3266 | serves several purposes: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3267 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3268 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone |
| 3269 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the |
| 3270 | Flash memory footprint) |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3271 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3272 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because |
| 3273 | lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3274 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3275 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" |
| 3276 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can |
| 3277 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't |
| 3278 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just |
| 3279 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the |
| 3280 | software is easier now. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3306 | No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3313 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are |
| 3314 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target |
| 3315 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by |
| 3316 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, |
| 3317 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a |
| 3318 | 100% compatible format. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3327 | The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to |

| 3351 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or |
| 3352 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 |
| 3353 | byte header containing information about target architecture, |
| 3354 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time |
| 3355 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3357 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and |
| 3358 | print the header information, or to build new images. |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3359 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3360 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information |
| 3361 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes |
| 3362 | checksum verification: |
wdenk | 24ee89b | 2002-11-03 17:56:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3363 | |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3367 | The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image |
| 3368 | from a "data file" which is used as image payload: |

| 3371 | -n name -d data_file image |
| 3372 | -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' |
| 3373 | -O ==> set operating system to 'os' |
| 3374 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' |
| 3375 | -C ==> set compression type 'comp' |
| 3376 | -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) |
| 3377 | -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) |
| 3378 | -n ==> set image name to 'name' |
| 3379 | -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' |

wdenk | cd91445 | 2004-05-29 16:53:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3381 | Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load |
| 3382 | address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3384 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3385 | - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, |

| 3624 | ------------------------------ |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3625 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3626 | U-Boot supports the following image types: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3627 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3628 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment |
| 3629 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave |
| 3630 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from |
| 3631 | the Standalone Program. |
| 3632 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which |
| 3633 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs |
| 3634 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device |
| 3635 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot |
| 3636 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. |
| 3637 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their |
| 3638 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is |
| 3639 | being started. |
| 3640 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS |
| 3641 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like |
| 3642 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want |
| 3643 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot |
| 3644 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get |
| 3645 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3647 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each |
| 3648 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network |
| 3649 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". |
| 3650 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by |
| 3651 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to |
| 3652 | a multiple of 4 bytes). |

| 3655 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to |
| 3656 | flash memory. |

| 3659 | U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially |
| 3660 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) |
| 3661 | as command interpreter. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3811 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot |
| 3812 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to |
| 3813 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). |
| 3814 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS |
| 3815 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working |
| 3816 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation |
| 3817 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU |
| 3818 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and |
| 3819 | MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be |
| 3820 | locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3830 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it |
| 3831 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not |
| 3832 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness |
| 3833 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of |
| 3834 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's |
Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3835 | beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3836 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and |
| 3837 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3842 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your |

| 3874 | normal global data to share information beween the code. But it |
| 3875 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly |
| 3876 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all |
| 3877 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ |
| 3878 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of |
| 3879 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3900 | Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the |
| 3901 | address of the global data structure is known at compile time), |
| 3902 | but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat |
| 3903 | smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on |

| 3905 | 624 text + 127 data). |

wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3931 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3932 | U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the |
| 3933 | MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3934 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3935 | The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory |
| 3936 | controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each |
| 3937 | memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several |
| 3938 | physical memory banks. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3939 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3940 | U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on |
| 3941 | TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After |
| 3942 | booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself |
| 3943 | to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some |
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD | 0383694 | 2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3944 | memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3945 | configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board |
| 3946 | Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3947 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3948 | Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB |

| 3975 | ---------------------- |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3976 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3977 | In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point |
Marcel Ziswiler | abd8dcb | 2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 3978 | (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3979 | configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. |
| 3980 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. |
| 3981 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) |
| 3982 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs |
| 3983 | which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked |
| 3984 | part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, |
| 3985 | the caches and the SIU. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3986 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3987 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a |
| 3988 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries |
| 3989 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash |
| 3990 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is |
| 3991 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a |
| 3992 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM |
| 3993 | banks. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3994 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3995 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of |
| 3996 | different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first |
| 3997 | bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address |
| 3998 | 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create |
| 3999 | contiguous memory starting from 0. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4000 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4001 | Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area |
| 4002 | and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board |
| 4003 | Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM |
| 4004 | pages, and the final stack is set up. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4005 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4006 | Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; |
| 4007 | until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are |
| 4008 | running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4118 | Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to |
| 4119 | establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules |
| 4120 | may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. |

| 4126 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4127 | When you send a patch, please include the following information with |
| 4128 | it: |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4129 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4130 | * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes |
| 4131 | this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the |
| 4132 | patch actually fixes something. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4133 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4134 | * For new features: a description of the feature and your |
| 4135 | implementation. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4136 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4137 | * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4138 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4139 | * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4141 | * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this |
| 4142 | board to the MAKEALL script, too. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4143 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4144 | * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to |
| 4145 | document these in the README file. |

Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 4147 | * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* |
| 4148 | recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the |
| 4149 | "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to |
| 4150 | the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems |
| 4151 | with some other mail clients. |

Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 4153 | If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of |
| 4154 | diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of |
| 4155 | GNU diff. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4156 | |
Wolfgang Denk | b240aef | 2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 4157 | The current directory when running this command shall be the parent |
| 4158 | directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that |
| 4159 | your patch includes sufficient directory information for the |
| 4160 | affected files). |
| 4161 | |
| 4162 | We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, |
| 4163 | and compressed attachments must not be used. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4165 | * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several |
| 4166 | files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. |
wdenk | 57b2d80 | 2003-06-27 21:31:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4167 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4168 | * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be |
| 4169 | submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. |

wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4174 | * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched |
| 4175 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported |
| 4176 | for any of the boards. |
| 4177 | |
| 4178 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch |
| 4179 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be |
| 4180 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. |
wdenk | c609719 | 2002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4181 | |
wdenk | 6c59edc | 2004-05-03 20:45:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4182 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not |
| 4183 | add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! |
| 4184 | When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only |
| 4185 | (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature |
| 4186 | disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your |
| 4187 | modification. |

Wolfgang Denk | 290ae6b | 2008-12-30 22:56:11 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 4189 | * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the |
| 4190 | u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are |
| 4191 | reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches |
| 4192 | bigger than the size limit should be avoided. |
