24Summary:

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000027This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenkce4832c2004-10-17 21:12:06 +000028Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000032
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000036support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000050Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000051"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenk7474aca2002-12-17 17:55:09 +0000126Versioning:
127===========
128
129U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
130sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
131sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
132
133The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
134between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
135U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000200Software Configuration:
201=======================
202
203Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
204rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
205
206There 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-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200215 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000216
217Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
218identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
219do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
220links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
221as an example here.
222
223
224Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
225---------------------------------------------------
226
227For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
228configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
229
230Example: For a TQM823L module type:
231
232 cd u-boot
233 make TQM823L_config
234
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200235For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000236e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
237directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
238
239
240Configuration Options:
241----------------------
242
243Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
244such information is kept in a configuration file
245"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
246
247Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
248"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
249
250
wdenk1272e232002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000251Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
252kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
253build a config tool - later.
254
255
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256The following options need to be configured:
257

290 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
291 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
292 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +0000293

wdenk20bddb32004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000299 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
300 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000301 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
302 reference PIT/RTC clock
wdenk20bddb32004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000303 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK

311
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200312 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
wdenkfde37042004-01-31 20:06:54 +0000313
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000314 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
315 of relying on the correctness of the configured
316 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
317 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
318 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz

wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000340- Linux Kernel Interface:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000341 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
342
343 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
344 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
345 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
346 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
347 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
348 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
349 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000350 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100351 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000352 default environment.

Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200356 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
wdenk9b7f3842003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000357 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
358 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Niklaus Giger0ab978d2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100389- vxWorks boot parameters:
390
391 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
392 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
393 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
394
395 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name

418 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
419 the clock speed of the UARTs.
420
421 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
422
423 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
424 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
425 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
426
427
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000428- Console Interface:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000429 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
430 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
431 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
432 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000433
434 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
435 port routines must be defined elsewhere
436 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
437
438 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100492- Console Rx buffer length
493 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
494 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher362447f2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100495 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocher327480a2009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100496 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
497 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
498 the SMC.
499
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000500- Interrupt driven serial port input:
501 CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
502
503 PPC405GP only.
504 Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
505 serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
506 (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
507 bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
508
wdenkf16b5162004-03-23 21:43:07 +0000509 Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
510 disable the buffer and hardware handshake.

stroese3d24d6e2003-05-23 11:39:05 +0000512- Console UART Number:
513 CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
514
Wolfgang Denk0ee70772005-09-23 11:05:55 +0200515 AMCC PPC4xx only.
stroese3d24d6e2003-05-23 11:39:05 +0000516 If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
517 as default U-Boot console.
518
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000519- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
520 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
521 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
522
523 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
524 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
525 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
526 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
527 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
528 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
529 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

531 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
532 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
533 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
534 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
535
536- Autoboot Command:
537 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
538 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
539 define a command string that is automatically executed
540 when no character is read on the console interface
541 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
542
543 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000544 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
545 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
546 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000547
548 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000549 The value of these goes into the environment as
550 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
551 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200552 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000553
554- Pre-Boot Commands:
555 CONFIG_PREBOOT
556
557 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
558 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
559 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
560 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
561 entering interactive mode.
562
563 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
564 automatically generated or modified. For an example
565 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
566 modified when the user holds down a certain
567 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
568 booting the systems
569
570- Serial Download Echo Mode:
571 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
572 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
573 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
574 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
575 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
576 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
577 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
578

663 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
664 support you can write:
665
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500666 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
667 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000668
Gerald Van Barend6abef42007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400669 Other Commands:
670 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000671
672 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500673 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000674 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
675 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
676 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
677 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
678 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
679 initial stack and some data.

867 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200868 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +0200869 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
870 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denke2601822006-06-14 18:14:56 +0200871 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk3f0137b2006-06-14 17:45:53 +0200872 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
873 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
874 a Linux host by
875 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
876 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
877 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following

wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001066
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001067 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1068 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1069 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenk01686632004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001070 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001071 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1072 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1073 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1074 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001075
Matthias Weisser53884182009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001076 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1077
1078 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1079 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1080 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1081 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1082 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1083 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1084
1085 Example:
1086 setenv splashpos m,m
1087 => image at center of screen
1088
1089 setenv splashpos 30,20
1090 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1091
1092 setenv splashpos -10,m
1093 => vertically centered image
1094 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1095
Stefan Roesed9d97742005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001096- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1097
1098 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1099 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1100 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1101
wdenk710e3502003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001102- Compression support:
1103 CONFIG_BZIP2
1104
1105 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1106 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1107 compressed images are supported.
1108
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001109 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001110 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk9c53f402003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001111 be at least 4MB.
wdenk92bbe3f2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001112
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini35afc062008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001113 CONFIG_LZMA
1114
1115 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1116 images is included.
1117
1118 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1119 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1120 formula:
1121
1122 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1123
1124 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1125 and Literal pos bits.
1126
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
1129 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1130 a very small buffer.
1131
1132 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1133 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001134 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1147 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001148 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001149
1150 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1151
1152 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1153 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1154 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1155 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1156
1157 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1158
1159 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1160 command issued before MII status register can be read

1195 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1196 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001197 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff7280da72007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001198 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1199 multicast group.
1200
1201 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001202- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1203 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1204
1205 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1206 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1207 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1208 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1209 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1210 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1211 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1212 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denkb65aaf92007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001213 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001214
1215 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1216 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1217 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1218 4th and following
1219 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001238 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1239 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001240
1241 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1242 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1243 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1244 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1245 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1246 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1247 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001248 is defined.
stroesee0aadfb2003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001249
1250 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1251 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1252 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan22bcd6e2007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001253 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger5336a762007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001254 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1255 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichas72aa3f32008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001257 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1258
1259 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1260 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1261 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1262 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1263 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1264 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1265 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1266 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1267 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1268 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1269 this delay.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001313- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
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.
1323
1324- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1325
1326 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1327 on those systems that support this (optional)
1328 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1329
1330- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1331
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001332 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001333 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001334 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001335
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001336 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001337 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001338 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1339 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001340 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001341
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001342 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001343
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001344 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001345 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1346 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001347
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001348 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001349 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001350
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001351 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001352 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001353 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001354 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001355
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001356 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001357 sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001358 therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001359 p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001360
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001361 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001362
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001363 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1364 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1365 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001366
1367 I2C_INIT
1368
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001369 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001370 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001371
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001372 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001373
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001374 I2C_PORT
1375
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001376 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1377 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1378 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001379
1380 I2C_ACTIVE
1381
1382 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1383 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1384 define can be null.
1385
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001386 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1387
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001388 I2C_TRISTATE
1389
1390 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1391 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1392 define can be null.
1393
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001394 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1395
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001396 I2C_READ
1397
1398 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1399 FALSE if it is low.
1400
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001401 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1402
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001403 I2C_SDA(bit)
1404
1405 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1406 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1407
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001408 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001409 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001410 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001411
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001412 I2C_SCL(bit)
1413
1414 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1415 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1416
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001417 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2bb11052003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001418 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001419 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001420
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001421 I2C_DELAY
1422
1423 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1424 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001425 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk21136db2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001426 like:
1427
wdenkb9bbd242003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001428 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001429
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001430 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001431
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001432 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1433 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1434 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1435 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1436 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1437 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1438 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1439 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001440
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001441 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1442
1443 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1444 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1445 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1446
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001447 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1448
1449 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1450 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1451 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1452 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1453
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001454 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001455
1456 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Peter Tyser469cde42009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001457 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1458 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1459 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001460
1461 e.g.
1462 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001463 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001464
1465 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1466
1467 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001468 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warren45657152006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001469
1470 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1471
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001472 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001473
1474 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1475 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1476
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001477 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001478
1479 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1480 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1481
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001482 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese096cc9b2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001483
1484 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1485 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1486
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001487 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo31856dd2008-09-09 15:13:29 -07001488
1489 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1490 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1491 specified DTT device.
1492
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001493 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1494
1495 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
Marcel Ziswileraea68562007-12-30 03:30:46 +01001496 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
Timur Tabiab347542006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001497
Heiko Schocher6ee861b2008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001498 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1499
1500 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1501 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1502 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1503 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
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.
1544
Andrew Dyer58c41f92008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001545 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
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.

wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001568 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1569 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1570 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1571 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1572 defined, the board configuration must define several
1573 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1574 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

1577
1578 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
1579 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
1580 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001612
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001613 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
1614 status by the configuration function. This option
1615 will require a board or device specific function to

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001627
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001628 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
1629 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
1630 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
1631 indicated a CRC error).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001649
1650- Configuration Management:
1651 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1652
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001653 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1654 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001655
1656- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1657
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001658 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1659 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001660 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001661 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
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 Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001665 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001666
1667 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1668 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenkcc1e2562003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001669 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001670 these parameters.
1671
1672 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1673 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001674 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001675 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1676 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1677 read-only.]
1678
1679- Protected RAM:
1680 CONFIG_PRAM
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 Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01001695 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001696 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,
1709 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
1710 PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
1711
1712- Error Recovery:
1713 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1714
1715 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1716 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1717 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001718 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001719 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1720 useful during development since you can try to debug
1721 the conditions that lead to the situation.
1722
1723 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1724
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001725 This variable defines the number of retries for
1726 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1727 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1728 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001729
Guennadi Liakhovetskib38c2b32008-04-03 17:04:19 +02001730 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
1731
1732 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
1733
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001734- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001735 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk3902d702004-04-15 18:22:41 +00001736
1737 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
1738
Wolfgang Denk018147d2006-11-27 15:32:42 +01001739 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
1740 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk81352ed2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001741
1742
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001743 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001744
1745 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1746 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1747 powerful command line syntax like
1748 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1749 constructs ("shell scripts").
1750
1751 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1752 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1753
1754
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001755 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001756
1757 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1758 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1759 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1760
1761 Note:
1762
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001763 In the current implementation, the local variables
1764 space and global environment variables space are
1765 separated. Local variables are those you define by
1766 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1767 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1768 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
1769 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001770
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001771 Global environment variables are those you use
1772 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1773 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1774 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001775
1776 To store commands and special characters in a
1777 variable, please use double quotation marks
1778 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1779 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1780 symbols.
1781
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02001782- Commandline Editing and History:
1783 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
1784
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001785 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkc80857e2006-07-21 11:56:05 +02001786 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denk2039a072006-07-21 11:35:21 +02001787
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001788- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001789 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1790
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001791 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1792 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001793 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk591dda52002-11-18 00:14:45 +00001794
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001795 For example, place something like this in your
1796 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001797
1798 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1799 "myvar1=value1\0" \
1800 "myvar2=value2\0"
1801
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001802 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1803 internal format how the environment is stored by the
1804 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1805 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenkeb20ad32003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001806 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001807 You better know what you are doing here.
1808
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001809 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1810 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02001811 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001812 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001813
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001814- DataFlash Support:
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001815 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
1816
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001817 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
1818 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
1819 commands cp, md...
wdenk381669a2003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001820
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001821- SystemACE Support:
1822 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
1823
1824 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
1825 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001826 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001827 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001828
1829 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001830 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenkef893942004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001831
1832 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
1833 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
1834
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001835- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
1836 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
1837
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001838 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001839 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001840 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001841 number generator is used.
1842
Wolfgang Denk227b5192005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001843 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 Denke3cfce52005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001848 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.
1854
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001855- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001856 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
1857
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001858 Defining this option allows to add some board-
1859 specific code (calling a user-provided function
1860 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
1861 the system's boot progress on some display (for
1862 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
1863 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001864
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02001865- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
1866 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
1867 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
1868 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
1869
1870 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
1871 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
1872
Stefan Roese22ce6f92009-05-12 14:31:18 +02001873- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
1874 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
1875
1876 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
1877 Needed for mtdparts command support.
1878
1879 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
1880
1881 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
1882 kernel. Needed for UBI support.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002038Modem Support:
2039--------------
2040
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002041[so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002042
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002043- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002044 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2045
2046- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2047 CONFIG_HWFLOW
2048
2049- Modem debug support:
2050 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2051
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002052 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2053 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002054
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002055- Interrupt support (PPC):
2056
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002057 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2058 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002059 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002060 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002061 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002062 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002063 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenk1ebf41e2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002064 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2065 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2066 general timer_interrupt().
wdenkc0aa5c52003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002067
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002068- General:
2069
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002070 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2071 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2072 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002073 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002074 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2075 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2076 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002077
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002078 If there are no modem init strings in the
2079 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2080 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002081 suppressed, though.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002137- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2138 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002139 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002140 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002141 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2142 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2143 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002144 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002145 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese37f31bf2008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002146 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roesea13709f2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002147
2148 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2149 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2150 be touched.
2151
2152 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2153 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2154 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2155 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002226- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002227
2228 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2229 without this option such a download has to be
2230 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2231 copy from RAM to flash.
2232
2233 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2234 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002235 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2236 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002237 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2238
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002239- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

2261 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2262 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2263 optionally available.
2264

2269
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002270- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002271 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2272 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002273 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2274 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002275 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese94ef1cf2003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002276 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002278The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2279of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2280following configurations:
2281
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002282- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002283
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.
2297
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002298 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002299
2300 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2301 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2302 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2303 for this sector is given here.
2304
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002305 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002306
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002307 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002308
2309 This is just another way to specify the start address of
2310 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002311 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002312
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002313 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002314
2315 Size of the sector containing the environment.
2316
2317
2318 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2319 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2320 the environment.
2321
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002322 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002323
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD53db4cd2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002324 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002325 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002326 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
2337 RAM, your target system will be dead.
2338
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002339 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
2340 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002341
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002342 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002343 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenkb02744a2003-04-05 00:53:31 +00002344 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002345 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002346
2347BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2348source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2349accordingly!
2350
2351
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDfdb79c32008-09-10 22:47:59 +02002352- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002353
2354 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2355 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2356 environment.
2357

2359 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002360
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002361 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002362 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2363 can just be read and written to, without any special
2364 provision.
2365
2366BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2367in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002368console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002369U-Boot will hang.
2370
2371Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2372environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2373keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2374to save the current settings.
2375
2376
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDe46af642008-09-05 09:19:30 +02002377- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002378
2379 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2380 device and a driver for it.
2381
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002382 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2383 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002384
2385 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
2386 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
2387
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002388 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002389 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2390 The default address is zero.
2391
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002392 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002393 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2394 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
2395 would require six bits.
2396
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002397 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002398 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenk544e9732004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002399 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002400
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002401 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002402 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
2403 that this is NOT the chip address length!
2404
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002405 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002406 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2407 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2408 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2409 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2410 byte chips.
2411
2412 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2413 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2414 in the chip address.
2415

Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002445
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002446 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002447 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
2448 so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
2449 power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
2450
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD7e1cda62008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002451 Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
2452 to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
Markus Klotzbuecher5d113e02006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002453 the NAND devices block size.
2454
Guennadi Liakhovetskifad24442009-05-18 16:07:22 +02002455- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
2456
2457 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
2458 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
2459 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
2460
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002461- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002462
2463 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2464 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2465 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2466 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2467 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2468 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2469 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2470
Bruce Adleredecc942007-11-02 13:15:42 -07002471Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002472has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
2473created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
2474until then to read environment variables.
2475
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002476The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2477is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2478with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2479necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2480"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2481have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002482
2483Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2484the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk8dba0502003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002485use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002571 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
2572 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002671- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002672 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
2673 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.

wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00002675- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
2676 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
2677
2678- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
2679 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk05939202004-04-18 17:39:38 +00002680 to the given FEC; i. e.
2681 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenk6203e402004-04-18 10:13:26 +00002682 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
2683
2684 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
2685
2686- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
2687 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
2688 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
2689
2690- CONFIG_RMII
2691 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
2692 Note that this is a global option, we can't
2693 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
2694
wdenk20c98a62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002695- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
2696 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
2697 The syntax is:
2698
2699 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
2700
2701 Where address/count indicate a memory area
2702 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
2703 area should have.
2704
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00002705- CONFIG_LOOPW
2706 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002707 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk64519362004-07-11 17:40:54 +00002708
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002709- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
2710 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
2711 "md/mw" commands.
2712 Examples:
2713
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002714 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002715 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
2716
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002717 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002718 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
2719
wdenk07d7e6b2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002720 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeligerc1da5c92007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002721 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroesecc3af832004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002722
wdenk3d3d99f2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00002723- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
2724- CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT
2725
wdenke085e5b2005-04-05 23:32:21 +00002726 [ARM only] If these variables are defined, then
2727 certain low level initializations (like setting up
2728 the memory controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does
2729 not relocate itself into RAM.
2730 Normally these variables MUST NOT be defined. The
2731 only exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by
2732 some other boot loader or by a debugger which
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002733 performs these initializations itself.

Magnus Lilja1ec96d82009-06-13 20:50:00 +02002735- CONFIG_PRELOADER
2736
2737 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
2738 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
2739 compiling a NAND SPL.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002741Building the Software:
2742======================
2743
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002744Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
2745and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
2746all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
2747(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
2748recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
2749which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002750
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002751If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
2752have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
2753you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
2754Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
2755necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002756
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002757 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
2758 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002759
Peter Tyserb06976d2009-03-13 18:54:51 -05002760Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
2761 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
2762 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
2763 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
2764
2765 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
2766
2767 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
2768 be executed on computers running Windows.
2769
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002770U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
2771sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002772is done by typing:
2773
2774 make NAME_config
2775
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002776where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
2777rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
wdenk2f0812d2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00002778
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002779Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
2780 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
2781 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
2782 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002783 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002784
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002785 make TQM823L_config
2786 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002787
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002788 make TQM823L_LCD_config
2789 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002790
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002791 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002792
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002793
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002794Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
2795images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002796
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002797- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
2798- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
2799- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002800
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02002801By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
2802in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
2803this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
2804
28051. 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
2810
28112. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
2812
2813 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2814 make distclean
2815 make NAME_config
2816 make all
2817
2818Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
2819variable.
2820
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002821
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002822Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
2823for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
2824native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002825
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002826
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002827If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
2828to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
2829steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002830
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +000028311. 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.
28362. 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".
28393. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
2840 your board
28413. 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.
28434. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
28445. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
2845 to be installed on your target system.
28466. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
2847 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002850Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
2851==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002852
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002853If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
2854or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002855provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
2856the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002857official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002858
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002859But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
2860cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002861the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
2862just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002863for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
2864select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
2865environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
2866you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002867
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002868 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002869
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002870or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002871
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002872 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002873
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002874When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
2875U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
2876setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
2877built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
2878<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
2879location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
2880variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczefe063f2006-09-07 17:25:40 +02002881
2882 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2883 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
2884 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
2885
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002886With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
2887log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
2888during the whole build process.

2952can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002953
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002954Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
2955"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
2956without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
2957environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
2958working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
2959environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002970
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002971 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002972
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002973 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
2974 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
2975 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
2976 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
2977 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
2978 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002979 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
Bartlomiej Siekac5648c82008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002980
2981 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
2982 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
2983 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
2984 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
2985 environment variable.
2986
Bartlomiej Siekae273e9f2008-10-01 15:26:31 +02002987 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
2988 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
2989 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
2990
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002991 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
2992 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
2993 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
2994 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002995
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01002996 autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
2997 "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
2998 to automatically run script images (by internally
Wolfgang Denk85c25df2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002999 calling "source").
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003000
3001 autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
3002 variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
3003
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003004 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3005 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3006 be automatically started (by internally calling
3007 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003008
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003009 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3010 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3011 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3012 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3013 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003014
wdenk0e2bd9c2004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003015 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3016 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3017 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3018 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3019 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3020
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003021 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3022 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3023 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3024 is usually what you want since it allows for
3025 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3026 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003027 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003028 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3029 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3030 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3031 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003032
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003033 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3034 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3035 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3036 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3037 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3038 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003039
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003040 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003041
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003042 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3043 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3044 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3045 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3046 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3047 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3048 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

3066 interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003067
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003068 ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
3069 interface is currently active. For example you
3070 can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003071
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003072 => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
3073 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
3074 => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
3075 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003076
Matthias Fuchs204f0ec2008-01-17 07:45:05 +01003077 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3078 available network interfaces.
3079 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3080
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003081 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
3082 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3083 When set to "once" the network operation will
3084 fail when all the available network interfaces
3085 are tried once without success.
3086 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3087 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003088
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD1948d6c2009-01-31 09:53:39 +01003089 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003101The following environment variables may be used and automatically
3102updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3103depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003104
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003105 bootfile - see above
3106 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
3107 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3108 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3109 hostname - Target hostname
3110 ipaddr - see above
3111 netmask - Subnet Mask
3112 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3113 serverip - see above
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003114
wdenk145d2c12004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003115
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003116There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003117
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003118 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3119 as type string and/or serial number
3120 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003121
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003122These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3123the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3124once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003125
3126
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003127Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003128
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003129 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3130 with the "version" command. This variable is
3131 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003133
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003134Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
3135only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

3139=====================
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003140
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003141There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3142the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003144Old, simple command line parser:
3145--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003146
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003147- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3148- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003149- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003150- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3151 for example:
Wolfgang Denk86eb3b72005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003152 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003153- 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'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003155
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003156Hush shell:
3157-----------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003158
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003159- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3160 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3161 until...do...done, ...
3162- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3163 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3164 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3165 command
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003166
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003167General rules:
3168--------------
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003169
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003170(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.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003174
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003175(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003176 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003177 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3178 variables are not executed.
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003179
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003180Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3181=======================================
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003182
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003183Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003184such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3185"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003186
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003187Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3188MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3189"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003190
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003191If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3192in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3193ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3194variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf4688a22003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003195
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003196o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3197 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003198
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003199o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3200 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3201 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003202
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003203o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3204 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003205
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003206o 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
3208 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003209
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003210o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3211 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003212
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003213
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003214Image Formats:
3215==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003216
Marian Balakowicz18710b82008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003217U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3218images in two formats:
3219
3220New uImage format (FIT)
3221-----------------------
3222
3223Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3224to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3225components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3226SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3227
3228
3229Old uImage format
3230-----------------
3231
3232Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3233preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3234details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003235

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003255Linux Support:
3256==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003257
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003258Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3259easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3260U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003261
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003262U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3263special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3264"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3265instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3266serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003267
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003268- 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)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003271
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003272- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3273 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003274
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003275- 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.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003283Linux HOWTO:
3284============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003285
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003286Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3287---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003288
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003289U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3290configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3291(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3292Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003293
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003294But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003295
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003296Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3297include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg47167572008-09-07 20:18:27 +02003298Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3299and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003300as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003301
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003302
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003303Configuring the Linux kernel:
3304-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003305
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003306No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3307device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003308
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003309
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003310Building a Linux Image:
3311-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003312
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003313With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3314not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3315"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3316U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3317which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3318100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003319
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003320Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003321
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003322 make TQM850L_config
3323 make oldconfig
3324 make dep
3325 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003326
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003327The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3328encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
3329CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003330
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003331* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003332
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003333* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003334
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003335 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3336 -R .note -R .comment \
3337 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003338
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003339* compress the binary image:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003340
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003341 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003342
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003343* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003344
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003345 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3346 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3347 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003348
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003349
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003350The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3351with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3352combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3353byte header containing information about target architecture,
3354operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3355stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003356
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003357"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3358print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003359
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003360In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3361contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3362checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003363
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003364 tools/mkimage -l image
3365 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003366
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003367The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3368from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003369
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003370 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
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'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003380
wdenkcd914452004-05-29 16:53:29 +00003381Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3382address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3383kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003384
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003385- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3386- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003387
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003388So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003389

3413needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
3414need to be uncompressed:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003443Installing a Linux Image:
3444-------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003445
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003446To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3447you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003448
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003449 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003450
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003451The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3452image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3453address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3454specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3455command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003456
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003457Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003494The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
3495memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
3496of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
3497parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
3498"printenv" and "setenv" commands:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003623More About U-Boot Image Types:
3624------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003625
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003626U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003627
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003628 "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.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003646
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003647 "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).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003653
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003654 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
3655 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
3656 flash memory.
wdenk4fc95692003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003657
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003658 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
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.

3665=================

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003667One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3668run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3669U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
stroeseb9c17c52003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003670

3674-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003675
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003676'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3677application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3678It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3679like that:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003705Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
3706handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
3707Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
3708The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
3709character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
3710controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003711
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003712 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003755Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
3756"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
3757consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
3758Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
3759especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
3760use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003776Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
3777NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
3778need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
3779Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
3780attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
3781missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003792Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
3793stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
3794proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
3795tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

3800=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003801
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003802The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
3803implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
3804inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
3805hardware.

3809---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003810
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003811The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
3812starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
3813system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
3814This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
3815is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
3816at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
3817options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
3818models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
3819MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
3820locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003830 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 Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003835 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003836 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
3837 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003838
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003839 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
3840 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003841 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003842 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
3843 board designers haven't used it for something that would
3844 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
3845 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003846
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003847 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003848 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
3849 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese3e1f1b32005-08-01 16:49:12 +02003850 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003851 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
3852 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
3853 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
3854 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
3855 you get the config right.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003860It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
3861code for the initialization procedures:
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003862
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003863* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
3864 to write it.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003865
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003866* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003867 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
3868 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003869
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003870* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
3871 that.
wdenk4a5c8a72003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003872
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003873Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
3874normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
3875turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
3876simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
3877functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
3878functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
3879the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
3880place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
3881reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003882
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003883When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
3884relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
3885GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003886
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003887For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
3888 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01003889 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003890 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
3891 R5-R10: parameter passing
3892 R13: small data area pointer
3893 R30: GOT pointer
3894 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003895
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003896 (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003897
Wolfgang Denk69c09642008-02-14 22:43:22 +01003898 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003899
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003900 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
3904 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
3905 624 text + 127 data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003906
Mike Frysinger60f09302008-02-04 19:26:54 -05003907On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:
3908 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
3909
3910 ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data
3911
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003912On ARM, the following registers are used:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003913
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003914 R0: function argument word/integer result
3915 R1-R3: function argument word
3916 R9: GOT pointer
3917 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
3918 R11: argument (frame) pointer
3919 R12: temporary workspace
3920 R13: stack pointer
3921 R14: link register
3922 R15: program counter
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003923
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003924 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003925
Wolfgang Denk6405a152006-03-31 18:32:53 +02003926NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
3927or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003928
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003929Memory Management:
3930------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003931
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003932U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
3933MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003934
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003935The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
3936controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
3937memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
3938physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003939
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003940U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
3941TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
3942booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
3943to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD03836942008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003944memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003945configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
3946Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003947
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003948Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
3949of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003950
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003951So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
3952this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003953
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003954 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
3955 :

3957 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
3958 :

3962 :
3963 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
3964 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
3965 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
3966 :
3967 0x00FD FFFF
3968 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
3969 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
3970 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
3971 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003972
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003973
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003974System Initialization:
3975----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003976
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003977In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswilerabd8dcb2008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003978(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003979configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
3980To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
3981To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
3982initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
3983which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
3984part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
3985the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003986
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003987Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
3988preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
3989(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
3990on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
3991programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
3992simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
3993banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003994
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003995When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
3996different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
3997bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
39980x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
3999contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004000
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004001Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4002and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4003Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4004pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004005
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004006Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4007until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4008running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4009new address in RAM.

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004086Coding Standards:
4087-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004088
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004089All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004090coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
4091"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
4092originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
4093spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
4094
4095Source files originating from a different project (for example the
4096MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
4097reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
4098sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004099
Detlev Zundelaa63d482006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004100Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
4101Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
4102in your code.
wdenkad276f22004-01-04 16:28:35 +00004103
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004104Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
4105- remove any trailing white space
4106- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
4107- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
4108- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
4109- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004110
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004111Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
4112with a request to reformat the changes.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004113

4116-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004117
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004118Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
4119establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
4120may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004121
Magnus Liljaf3b287b2008-08-06 19:32:33 +02004122Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004123
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004124Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
4125see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
4126
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004127When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4128it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004129
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004130* 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.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004133
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004134* For new features: a description of the feature and your
4135 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004136
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004137* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004138
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004139* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004140
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004141* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
4142 board to the MAKEALL script, too.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004143
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004144* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4145 document these in the README file.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004146
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004147* 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.
wdenkca9bc762003-07-15 07:45:49 +00004152
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004153 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.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004156
Wolfgang Denkb240aef2008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004157 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.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004164
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004165* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4166 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
wdenk57b2d802003-06-27 21:31:46 +00004167
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004168* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4169 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
wdenk88e72a32003-06-19 23:04:19 +00004170

wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004172Notes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004173
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004174* 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.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004181
wdenk6c59edc2004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004182* 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.
wdenkcbc49a52005-05-03 14:12:25 +00004188
Wolfgang Denk290ae6b2008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004189* 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.
