24Summary:
25========

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000027This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenke86e5a02004-10-17 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.

wdenk93f19cc2002-12-17 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-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 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 Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 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
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 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
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +0000293

wdenk66ca92a2004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000299 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
300 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000301 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
302 reference PIT/RTC clock
wdenk66ca92a2004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000303 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK

wdenkba56f622004-02-06 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

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 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 Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100351 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000352 default environment.

355
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200356 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000357 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
358 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

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:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 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 Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 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 Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100495 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 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
wdenk109c0e32004-03-23 21:43:07 +0000509 Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
510 disable the buffer and hardware handshake.

513 CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
514
Wolfgang Denk0c8721a2005-09-23 11:05:55 +0200515 AMCC PPC4xx only.
stroese1d49b1f2003-05-23 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

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
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 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
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 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 Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 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

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000678 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
679 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
680 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
681 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
682 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
683 initial stack and some data.

wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001074
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001075 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1076 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1077 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001078 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001079 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1080 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1081 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1082 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001083
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001084 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1085
1086 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1087 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1088 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1089 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1090 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1091 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1092
1093 Example:
1094 setenv splashpos m,m
1095 => image at center of screen
1096
1097 setenv splashpos 30,20
1098 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1099
1100 setenv splashpos -10,m
1101 => vertically centered image
1102 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1103
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001104- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1105
1106 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1107 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1108 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1109
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001110- Compression support:
1111 CONFIG_BZIP2
1112
1113 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1114 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1115 compressed images are supported.
1116
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001117 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001118 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001119 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001120
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001121 CONFIG_LZMA
1122
1123 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1124 images is included.
1125
1126 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1127 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1128 formula:
1129
1130 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1131
1132 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1133 and Literal pos bits.
1134
1135 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1136 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1137 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1138 a very small buffer.
1139
1140 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1141 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001142 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1155 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001156 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001157
1158 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1159
1160 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1161 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1162 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1163 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1164
1165 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1166
1167 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1168 command issued before MII status register can be read

1199
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001200- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1201 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1202
1203 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1204 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001205 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001206 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1207 multicast group.
1208
1209 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001210- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1211 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1212
1213 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1214 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1215 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1216 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1217 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1218 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1219 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1220 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001221 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001222
1223 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1224 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1225 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1226 4th and following
1227 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001246 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1247 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001248
1249 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1250 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1251 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1252 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1253 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1254 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1255 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001256 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001257
1258 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1259 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1260 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001261 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001262 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1263 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001264
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001265 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1266
1267 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1268 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1269 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1270 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1271 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1272 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1273 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1274 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1275 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1276 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1277 this delay.

1309
1310 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1311
1312 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1313
1314 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1315 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1316
1317 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1318
1319 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001321- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1322
1323 Several configurations allow to display the current
1324 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1325 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1326 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1327 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1328 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1329 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1330 feature in U-Boot.
1331
1332- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1333
1334 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1335 on those systems that support this (optional)
1336 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1337
1338- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1339
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001340 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001341 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001342 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001343
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001344 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001345 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001346 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1347 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001348 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001349
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001350 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001351
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001352 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001353 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1354 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001355
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001356 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001357 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001358
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001359 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001360 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001361 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001362 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001363
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001364 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001365 sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001366 therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001367 p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001368
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001369 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001370
1371 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1372 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1373 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001374
1375 I2C_INIT
1376
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001377 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001378 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001379
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001380 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001381
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001382 I2C_PORT
1383
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001384 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1385 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1386 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001387
1388 I2C_ACTIVE
1389
1390 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1391 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1392 define can be null.
1393
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001394 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1395
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001396 I2C_TRISTATE
1397
1398 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1399 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1400 define can be null.
1401
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001402 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1403
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001404 I2C_READ
1405
1406 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1407 FALSE if it is low.
1408
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001409 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1410
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001411 I2C_SDA(bit)
1412
1413 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1414 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1415
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001416 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001417 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001418 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001419
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001420 I2C_SCL(bit)
1421
1422 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1423 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1424
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001425 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001426 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001427 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001428
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001429 I2C_DELAY
1430
1431 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1432 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001433 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001434 like:
1435
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001436 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001437
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001438 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001439
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001440 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1441 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1442 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1443 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1444 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1445 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1446 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1447 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001448
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001449 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1450
1451 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1452 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1453 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1454
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001455 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1456
1457 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1458 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1459 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1460 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1461
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001462 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001463
1464 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001465 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1466 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1467 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001468
1469 e.g.
1470 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001471 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001472
1473 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1474
1475 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001476 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001477
1478 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1479
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001480 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001481
1482 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1483 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1484
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001485 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001486
1487 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1488 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1489
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001490 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001491
1492 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1493 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1494
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001495 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07001496
1497 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1498 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1499 specified DTT device.
1500
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001501 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1502
1503 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
Marcel Ziswiler7817cb22007-12-30 03:30:46 +01001504 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001505
Heiko Schocher67b23a32008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001506 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1507
1508 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1509 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1510 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1511 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1512 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1513 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1514
1515 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1516 feature!
1517
1518 Example:
1519 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1520 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1521 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1522
1523 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1524
1525 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1526 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1527
1528 => i2c bus
1529 Busses reached over muxes:
1530 Bus ID: 2
1531 reached over Mux(es):
1532 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1533 Bus ID: 3
1534 reached over Mux(es):
1535 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1536 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1537 =>
1538
1539 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
1540 u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
1541 channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
1542 the channel 4.
1543
1544 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
1545 usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
1546 the 2 muxes.
1547
1548 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1549 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1550 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1551 to add this option to other architectures.
1552
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001553 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1554
1555 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1556 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1557 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1558 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1559 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1560 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1561 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001576 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1577 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1578 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1579 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1580 defined, the board configuration must define several
1581 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1582 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

1585
1586 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
1587 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
1588 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
1589 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001620
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001621 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
1622 status by the configuration function. This option
1623 will require a board or device specific function to

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001635
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001636 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
1637 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
1638 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
1639 indicated a CRC error).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001657
1658- Configuration Management:
1659 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1660
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001661 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1662 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001663
1664- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1665
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001666 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1667 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001668 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001669 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1670 protects these variables from casual modification by
1671 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1672 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001673 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001674
1675 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1676 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001677 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001678 these parameters.
1679
1680 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1681 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001682 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001683 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1684 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1685 read-only.]
1686
1687- Protected RAM:
1688 CONFIG_PRAM
1689
1690 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1691 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1692 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1693 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1694 this default value by defining an environment
1695 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1696 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1697 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1698 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1699 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1700 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1701 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1702
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01001703 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001704 saveenv
1705
1706 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1707 either, which results in a memory region that will
1708 not be affected by reboots.
1709
1710 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1711 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1712 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1713 following board configurations are known to be
1714 "pRAM-clean":
1715
1716 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1717 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
1718 PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
1719
1720- Error Recovery:
1721 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1722
1723 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1724 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1725 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001726 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001727 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1728 useful during development since you can try to debug
1729 the conditions that lead to the situation.
1730
1731 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1732
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001733 This variable defines the number of retries for
1734 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1735 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1736 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001737
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02001738 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
1739
1740 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
1741
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001742- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001743 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00001744
1745 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
1746
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01001747 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
1748 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001749
1750
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001751 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001752
1753 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1754 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1755 powerful command line syntax like
1756 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1757 constructs ("shell scripts").
1758
1759 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1760 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1761
1762
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001763 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001764
1765 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1766 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1767 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1768
1769 Note:
1770
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001771 In the current implementation, the local variables
1772 space and global environment variables space are
1773 separated. Local variables are those you define by
1774 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1775 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1776 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
1777 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001778
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001779 Global environment variables are those you use
1780 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1781 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1782 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001783
1784 To store commands and special characters in a
1785 variable, please use double quotation marks
1786 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1787 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1788 symbols.
1789
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02001790- Commandline Editing and History:
1791 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
1792
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001793 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02001794 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02001795
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001796- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001797 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1798
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001799 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1800 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001801 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00001802
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001803 For example, place something like this in your
1804 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001805
1806 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1807 "myvar1=value1\0" \
1808 "myvar2=value2\0"
1809
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001810 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1811 internal format how the environment is stored by the
1812 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1813 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001814 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001815 You better know what you are doing here.
1816
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001817 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1818 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02001819 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001820 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001821
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001822- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001823 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
1824
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001825 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
1826 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
1827 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001828
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001829- SystemACE Support:
1830 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
1831
1832 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
1833 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001834 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001835 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001836
1837 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001838 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001839
1840 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
1841 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
1842
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001843- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
1844 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
1845
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001846 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001847 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001848 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001849 number generator is used.
1850
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001851 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
1852 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
1853 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
1854
1855 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001856 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
1857 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
1858 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
1859 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
1860 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
1861 but sometimes that is not allowed.
1862
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00001863- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001864 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
1865
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001866 Defining this option allows to add some board-
1867 specific code (calling a user-provided function
1868 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
1869 the system's boot progress on some display (for
1870 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
1871 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001872
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02001873- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
1874 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
1875 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
1876 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
1877
1878 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
1879 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
1880
Stefan Roesed5581072009-05-12 14:31:18 +02001881- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
1882 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
1883
1884 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
1885 Needed for mtdparts command support.
1886
1887 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
1888
1889 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
1890 kernel. Needed for UBI support.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002046Modem Support:
2047--------------
2048
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002049[so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002050
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002051- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002052 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2053
2054- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2055 CONFIG_HWFLOW
2056
2057- Modem debug support:
2058 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2059
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002060 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2061 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002062
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002063- Interrupt support (PPC):
2064
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002065 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2066 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002067 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002068 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002069 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002070 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002071 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002072 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2073 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2074 general timer_interrupt().
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002075
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002076- General:
2077
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002078 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2079 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2080 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002081 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002082 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2083 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2084 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002085
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002086 If there are no modem init strings in the
2087 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2088 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002089 suppressed, though.

2144
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002145- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2146 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002147 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002148 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002149 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2150 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2151 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002152 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002153 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002154 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002155
2156 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2157 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2158 be touched.
2159
2160 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2161 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2162 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2163 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002198 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2199 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002200 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01002201 to adjust this setting to your needs.

2207 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2208 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2209 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00002231 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2232 instead of U-Boot software protection.
2233
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002234- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002235
2236 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2237 without this option such a download has to be
2238 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2239 copy from RAM to flash.
2240
2241 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2242 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002243 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2244 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002245 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2246
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002247- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002248 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002249 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2250
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD00b18832008-08-13 01:40:42 +02002251- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00002252 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01002255- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2256 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2257 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2258 to the MTD layer.
2259
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002260- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski96ef8312008-04-03 13:36:02 +02002261 Use buffered writes to flash.
2262
2263- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N

2266
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002267- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01002268 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2269 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2270 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2271 optionally available.
2272
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05002273- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2274 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2275 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2276 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2277
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002278- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002279 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2280 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002281 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2282 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002283 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002284 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2285
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002286The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2287of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2288following configurations:
2289
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002290- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002291
2292 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2293
2294 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2295 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2296 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2297 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2298 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2299 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2300 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2301 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2302 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2303 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2304 between U-Boot and the environment.
2305
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002306 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002307
2308 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2309 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2310 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2311 for this sector is given here.
2312
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002313 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002314
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002315 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002316
2317 This is just another way to specify the start address of
2318 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002319 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002320
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002321 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002322
2323 Size of the sector containing the environment.
2324
2325
2326 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2327 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2328 the environment.
2329
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002330 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002331
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002332 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002333 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002334 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2335 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2336
2337 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2338 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2339 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2340 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2341 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2342 updating the environment in flash makes it always
2343 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2344 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2345 RAM, your target system will be dead.
2346
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002347 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
2348 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002349
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002350 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002351 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00002352 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002353 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002354
2355BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2356source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2357accordingly!
2358
2359
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02002360- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002361
2362 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2363 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2364 environment.
2365
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002366 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2367 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002368
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002369 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002370 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2371 can just be read and written to, without any special
2372 provision.
2373
2374BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2375in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002376console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002377U-Boot will hang.
2378
2379Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2380environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2381keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2382to save the current settings.
2383
2384
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02002385- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002386
2387 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2388 device and a driver for it.
2389
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002390 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2391 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002392
2393 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
2394 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
2395
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002396 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002397 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2398 The default address is zero.
2399
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002400 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002401 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2402 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
2403 would require six bits.
2404
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002405 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002406 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002407 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002408
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002409 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002410 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
2411 that this is NOT the chip address length!
2412
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002413 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002414 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2415 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2416 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2417 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2418 byte chips.
2419
2420 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2421 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2422 in the chip address.
2423
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002424 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002430 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002431 want to use for the environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002454 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002455 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
2456 so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
2457 power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
2458
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002459 Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
2460 to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002461 the NAND devices block size.
2462
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02002463- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
2464
2465 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
2466 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
2467 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
2468
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002469- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002470
2471 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2472 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2473 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2474 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2475 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2476 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2477 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2478
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07002479Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002480has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
2481created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
2482until then to read environment variables.
2483
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002484The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2485is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2486with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2487necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2488"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2489have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002490
2491Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2492the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002493use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002579 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
2580 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002581 data is located at the end of the available space
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002582 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END -
2583 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
2584 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
2585 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002590 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002591 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
2592 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

2681 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
Timur Tabi2ad6b512006-10-31 18:44:42 -06002682
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00002683- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
2684 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
2685
2686- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
2687 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00002688 to the given FEC; i. e.
2689 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00002690 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
2691
2692 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
2693
2694- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
2695 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
2696 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
2697
2698- CONFIG_RMII
2699 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
2700 Note that this is a global option, we can't
2701 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
2702
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002703- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
2704 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
2705 The syntax is:
2706
2707 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
2708
2709 Where address/count indicate a memory area
2710 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
2711 area should have.
2712
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00002713- CONFIG_LOOPW
2714 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002715 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00002716
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002717- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
2718 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
2719 "md/mw" commands.
2720 Examples:
2721
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002722 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002723 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
2724
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002725 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002726 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
2727
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002728 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002729 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002730
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00002731- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
2732- CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT
2733
wdenk3c2b3d42005-04-05 23:32:21 +00002734 [ARM only] If these variables are defined, then
2735 certain low level initializations (like setting up
2736 the memory controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does
2737 not relocate itself into RAM.
2738 Normally these variables MUST NOT be defined. The
2739 only exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by
2740 some other boot loader or by a debugger which
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002741 performs these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00002742
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02002743- CONFIG_PRELOADER
2744
2745 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
2746 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
2747 compiling a NAND SPL.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002749Building the Software:
2750======================
2751
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002752Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
2753and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
2754all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
2755(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
2756recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
2757which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002758
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002759If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
2760have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
2761you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
2762Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
2763necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002764
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002765 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
2766 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002767
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05002768Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
2769 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
2770 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
2771 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
2772
2773 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
2774
2775 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
2776 be executed on computers running Windows.
2777
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002778U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
2779sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002780is done by typing:
2781
2782 make NAME_config
2783
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002784where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
2785rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00002786
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002787Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
2788 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
2789 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
2790 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002791 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002792
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002793 make TQM823L_config
2794 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002795
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002796 make TQM823L_LCD_config
2797 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002798
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002799 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002800
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002801
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002802Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
2803images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002804
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002805- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
2806- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
2807- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002808
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02002809By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
2810in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
2811this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
2812
28131. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
2814
2815 make O=/tmp/build distclean
2816 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
2817 make O=/tmp/build all
2818
28192. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
2820
2821 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2822 make distclean
2823 make NAME_config
2824 make all
2825
2826Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
2827variable.
2828
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002829
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002830Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
2831for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
2832native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002833
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002834
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002835If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
2836to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
2837steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002838
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000028391. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
2840 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
2841 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
2842 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
2843 keep this order.
28442. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
2845 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
2846 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
28473. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
2848 your board
28493. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
2850 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
28514. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
28525. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
2853 to be installed on your target system.
28546. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
2855 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002858Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
2859==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002860
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002861If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
2862or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002863provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
2864the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002865official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002866
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002867But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
2868cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002869the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
2870just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002871for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
2872select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
2873environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
2874you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002875
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002876 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002877
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002878or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002879
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002880 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002881
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002882When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
2883U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
2884setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
2885built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
2886<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
2887location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
2888variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02002889
2890 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2891 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
2892 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
2893
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002894With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
2895log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
2896during the whole build process.

2957======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002958
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002959U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
2960can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002961
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002962Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
2963"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
2964without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
2965environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
2966working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
2967environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002979 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002980
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002981 bootm_low - 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 lowest address allowed
2984 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
2985 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
2986 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002987 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02002988
2989 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
2990 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
2991 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
2992 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
2993 environment variable.
2994
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02002995 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
2996 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
2997 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
2998
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002999 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3000 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3001 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3002 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003003
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003004 autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
3005 "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
3006 to automatically run script images (by internally
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003007 calling "source").
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003008
3009 autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
3010 variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
3011
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003012 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3013 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3014 be automatically started (by internally calling
3015 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003016
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003017 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3018 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3019 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3020 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3021 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003022
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003023 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3024 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3025 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3026 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3027 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3028
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003029 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3030 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3031 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3032 is usually what you want since it allows for
3033 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3034 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003035 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003036 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3037 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3038 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3039 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003040
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003041 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3042 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3043 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3044 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3045 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3046 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003047
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003048 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003049
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003050 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3051 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3052 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3053 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3054 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3055 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3056 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00003057

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003073 ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
3074 interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003075
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003076 ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
3077 interface is currently active. For example you
3078 can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003079
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003080 => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
3081 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
3082 => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
3083 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003084
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01003085 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3086 available network interfaces.
3087 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3088
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003089 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
3090 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3091 When set to "once" the network operation will
3092 fail when all the available network interfaces
3093 are tried once without success.
3094 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3095 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003096
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01003097 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01003098

3101
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003102 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
3103 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
3104
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003105 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003109The following environment variables may be used and automatically
3110updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3111depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00003112
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003113 bootfile - see above
3114 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
3115 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3116 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3117 hostname - Target hostname
3118 ipaddr - see above
3119 netmask - Subnet Mask
3120 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3121 serverip - see above

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003124There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003125
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003126 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3127 as type string and/or serial number
3128 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003129
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003130These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3131the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3132once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003133
3134
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003135Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003136
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003137 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3138 with the "version" command. This variable is
3139 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003141
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003142Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
3143only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

3147=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003148
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003149There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3150the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003151
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003152Old, simple command line parser:
3153--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003154
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003155- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3156- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003157- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003158- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3159 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003160 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003161- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3162 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003163
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003164Hush shell:
3165-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003166
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003167- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3168 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3169 until...do...done, ...
3170- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3171 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3172 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3173 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003174
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003175General rules:
3176--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003177
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003178(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3179 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3180 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3181 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003182
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003183(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003184 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003185 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3186 variables are not executed.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003187
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003188Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3189=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003190
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003191Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003192such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3193"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003194
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003195Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3196MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3197"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003198
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003199If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3200in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3201ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3202variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003203
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003204o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3205 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003206
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003207o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3208 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3209 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003210
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003211o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3212 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003213
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003214o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
3215 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
3216 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003217
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003218o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3219 is raised.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003222Image Formats:
3223==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003224
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003225U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3226images in two formats:
3227
3228New uImage format (FIT)
3229-----------------------
3230
3231Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3232to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3233components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3234SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3235
3236
3237Old uImage format
3238-----------------
3239
3240Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3241preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3242details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003243

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003263Linux Support:
3264==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003265
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003266Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3267easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3268U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003269
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003270U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3271special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3272"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3273instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3274serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003275
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003276- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3277 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3278 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003279
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003280- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3281 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003282
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003283- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3284 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3285 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3286 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3287 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3288 software is easier now.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003291Linux HOWTO:
3292============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003293
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003294Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3295---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003296
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003297U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3298configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3299(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3300Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003301
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003302But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003303
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003304Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3305include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02003306Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3307and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003308as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003309
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003310
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003311Configuring the Linux kernel:
3312-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003313
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003314No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3315device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003316
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003317
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003318Building a Linux Image:
3319-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003320
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003321With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3322not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3323"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3324U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3325which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3326100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003327
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003328Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003329
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003330 make TQM850L_config
3331 make oldconfig
3332 make dep
3333 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003334
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003335The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3336encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
3337CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003338
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003339* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003340
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003341* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003342
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003343 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3344 -R .note -R .comment \
3345 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003346
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003347* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003348
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003349 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003350
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003351* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003352
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003353 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3354 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3355 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003356
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003357
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003358The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3359with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3360combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3361byte header containing information about target architecture,
3362operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3363stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003364
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003365"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3366print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003367
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003368In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3369contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3370checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003371
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003372 tools/mkimage -l image
3373 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003374
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003375The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3376from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003377
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003378 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
3379 -n name -d data_file image
3380 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
3381 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
3382 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
3383 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
3384 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
3385 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
3386 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
3387 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003388
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00003389Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3390address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3391kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003392
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003393- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3394- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003395
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003396So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003397

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003419NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
3420speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
3421needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
3422need to be uncompressed:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003451Installing a Linux Image:
3452-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00003453
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003454To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3455you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00003456
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003457 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00003458
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003459The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3460image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3461address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3462specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3463command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003464
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003465Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
3466TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003467

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003502The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
3503memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
3504of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
3505parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
3506"printenv" and "setenv" commands:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003631More About U-Boot Image Types:
3632------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003633
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003634U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003635
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003636 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
3637 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
3638 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
3639 the Standalone Program.
3640 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
3641 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
3642 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
3643 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
3644 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
3645 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
3646 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
3647 being started.
3648 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
3649 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
3650 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
3651 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
3652 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
3653 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003654
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003655 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
3656 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
3657 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
3658 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
3659 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
3660 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003661
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003662 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
3663 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
3664 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003665
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003666 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
3667 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
3668 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
3669 as command interpreter.

3673=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003674
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003675One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3676run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3677U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003678
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003679Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003683
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003684'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3685application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3686It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3687like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003713Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
3714handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
3715Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
3716The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
3717character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
3718controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003719

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003763Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the

3765consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
3766Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
3767especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
3768use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003781Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
3782(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003784Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
3785NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
3786need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
3787Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
3788attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
3789missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003800Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
3801stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
3802proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
3803tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003810The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
3811implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
3812inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
3813hardware.

3817---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003818
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003819The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
3820starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
3821system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
3822This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
3823is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
3824at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
3825options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
3826models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
3827MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
3828locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003838 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
3839 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
3840 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
3841 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
3842 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003843 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003844 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
3845 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003846
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003847 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
3848 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003849 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003850 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
3851 board designers haven't used it for something that would
3852 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
3853 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003854
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003855 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003856 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
3857 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02003858 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003859 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
3860 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
3861 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
3862 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
3863 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003868It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
3869code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003870
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003871* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
3872 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003873
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003874* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003875 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
3876 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003877
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003878* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
3879 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003880
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003881Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
3882normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
3883turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
3884simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
3885functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
3886functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
3887the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
3888place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
3889reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003890
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003891When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
3892relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
3893GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003894
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003895For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
3896 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01003897 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003898 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
3899 R5-R10: parameter passing
3900 R13: small data area pointer
3901 R30: GOT pointer
3902 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003903
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003904 (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003905
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01003906 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003907
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003908 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
3909 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
3910 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
3911 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
3912 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
3913 624 text + 127 data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003914
Mike Frysinger4c58eb52008-02-04 19:26:54 -05003915On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:
3916 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
3917
3918 ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data
3919
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003920On ARM, the following registers are used:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003921
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003922 R0: function argument word/integer result
3923 R1-R3: function argument word
3924 R9: GOT pointer
3925 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
3926 R11: argument (frame) pointer
3927 R12: temporary workspace
3928 R13: stack pointer
3929 R14: link register
3930 R15: program counter
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003931
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003932 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003933
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02003934NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
3935or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003936
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003937Memory Management:
3938------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003939
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003940U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
3941MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003942
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003943The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
3944controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
3945memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
3946physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003947
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003948U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
3949TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
3950booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
3951to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003952memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003953configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
3954Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003955
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003956Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
3957of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003958
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003959So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
3960this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003961
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003962 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

3975 0x00FD FFFF
3976 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
3977 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
3978 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
3979 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

3981
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003982System Initialization:
3983----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003984
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003985In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003986(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003987configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
3988To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
3989To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
3990initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
3991which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
3992part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
3993the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003994
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003995Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
3996preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
3997(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
3998on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
3999programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4000simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4001banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004002
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004003When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4004different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4005bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
40060x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4007contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004008
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004009Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4010and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4011Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4012pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004013
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004014Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4015until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4016running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4017new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004094Coding Standards:
4095-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004096
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004097All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004098coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
4099"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
4100originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
4101spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004102
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004103Source files originating from a different project (for example the
4104MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
4105reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
4106sources.
4107
4108Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
4109Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
4110in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004111
4112Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
4113- remove any trailing white space
4114- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
4115- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
4116- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
4117- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
4118
4119Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
4120with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004123Submitting Patches:
4124-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004125
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004126Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
4127establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
4128may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004129
Magnus Lilja0d28f342008-08-06 19:32:33 +02004130Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004131
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004132Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
4133see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
4134
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004135When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4136it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004137
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004138* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
4139 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
4140 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004141
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004142* For new features: a description of the feature and your
4143 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004144
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004145* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
4146
4147* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
4148
4149* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
4150 board to the MAKEALL script, too.
4151
4152* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4153 document these in the README file.
4154
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004155* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
4156 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
4157 "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
4158 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
4159 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004160
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004161 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
4162 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
4163 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004164
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004165 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
4166 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
4167 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
4168 affected files).
4169
4170 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
4171 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004172
4173* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4174 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
4175
4176* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4177 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
4178
4179
4180Notes:
4181
4182* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
4183 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
4184 for any of the boards.
4185
4186* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
4187 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
4188 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
4189
4190* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
4191 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
4192 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
4193 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
4194 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
4195 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00004196
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004197* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
4198 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
4199 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
4200 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
