8Summary:

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000011This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenke86e5a02004-10-17 21:12:06 +000012Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000016
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000018the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000020support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000222Software Configuration:
223=======================
224
225Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
226rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
227
228There are two classes of configuration variables:
229
230* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
231 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
232 "CONFIG_".
233
234* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
235 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
236 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200237 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000238
239Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
240identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
241do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
242links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
243as an example here.
244
245
246Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
247---------------------------------------------------
248
249For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
250configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
251
252Example: For a TQM823L module type:
253
254 cd u-boot
255 make TQM823L_config
256
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200257For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000258e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
259directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
260
261
262Configuration Options:
263----------------------
264
265Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
266such information is kept in a configuration file
267"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
268
269Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
270"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
271
272
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000273Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
274kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
275build a config tool - later.
276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278The following options need to be configured:
279

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000328 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
329 reference PIT/RTC clock
wdenk66ca92a2004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000330 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK

wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000341 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
342 of relying on the correctness of the configured
343 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
344 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
345 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200346 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

355
356 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
357 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
358 compliance, among other possible reasons.
359
Kumar Gala66412c62011-02-18 05:40:54 -0600360 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
361
362 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
363 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
364 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
365

370
Prabhakar Kushwahaafa6b552012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000371 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
372
373 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
374 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
375 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
376 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
377 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
378 purpose.
379
Scott Wood33eee332012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000380 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
381
382 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
383 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
384 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
385
386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
387 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
388
389 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
390 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
391
392 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
393 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
394 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
395 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
396
397 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
398 this erratum.

487
488 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
489 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
490 better code density. For ARM architectures that support

497 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
498
499 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
500 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
501 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
502 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
503 set these options unless they apply!

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000513 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
514
515 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
516 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
517 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
518 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
519 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
520 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
521 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000522 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100523 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200563 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
564
565 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
566 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
567 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
568 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
569 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
570 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
571
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000572 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
573
574 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
575 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
576 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
577 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
578 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
579 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
580 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

634 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
635 this variable to initialize the extra register.
636
637 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
638
639 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

713 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
714 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100715 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100716 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
717 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
718 the SMC.

Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000720- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200721 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
722 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
723 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
724 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
725 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
726 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
727 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200728 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200729 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000730
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200731 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
732 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000733
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000734- Safe printf() functions
735 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
736 the printf() functions. These are defined in
737 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
738 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
739 If this option is not given then these functions will
740 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
741 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
742
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000743- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
744 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
745 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000746 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
747 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000748
749 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
750 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
751 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
752 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
753 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
754 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
755 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
756 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
759 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
760 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
761
762- Autoboot Command:
763 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
764 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
765 define a command string that is automatically executed
766 when no character is read on the console interface
767 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
768
769 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000770 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
771 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
772 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000773
774 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000775 The value of these goes into the environment as
776 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
777 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200778 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000779
780- Pre-Boot Commands:
781 CONFIG_PREBOOT
782
783 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
784 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
785 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
786 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
787 entering interactive mode.
788
789 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
790 automatically generated or modified. For an example
791 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
792 modified when the user holds down a certain
793 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
794 booting the systems
795
796- Serial Download Echo Mode:
797 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
798 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
799 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
800 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
801 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
802 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
803 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
804
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500805- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000806 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
807 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200808 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000809
810- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500811 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
812 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000813 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
814 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500815 and augmenting with additional #define's
816 for wanted commands.

922 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
923 support you can write:
924
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500925 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
926 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000927
Gerald Van Baren213bf8c2007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400928 Other Commands:
929 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000930
931 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500932 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000933 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
934 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
935 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
936 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
937 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
938 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000939
940
941 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
942
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000943- Regular expression support:
944 CONFIG_REGEX
945 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
946 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
947 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
948 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
949
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000950- Device tree:
951 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
952 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
953 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
954 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
955 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
956 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
957
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000958 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
959 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000960
961 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
962 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
963 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
964 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
965 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
966 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000967
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000968 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
969 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
970 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
971 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
972
973 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
974
975 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
976 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
977 still use the individual files if you need something more
978 exotic.
979
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000980- Watchdog:
981 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
982 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000983 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
984 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
985 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
986 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
987 available, then no further board specific code should
988 be needed to use it.
989
990 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
991 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
992 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
993 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000994
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +0000995- U-Boot Version:
996 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
997 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
998 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
999 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001000 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1001 next reset.

1364 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1365 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1366 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1367 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1368 viewport is supported.
1369 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1370 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001371 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1372 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1373 the appropriate value in Hz.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001374

Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001408 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1409 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1410 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1411 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1412 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1413
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001414 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1415 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1416 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1417 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1418 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1419 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1635 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1636 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1637 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1638 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1639 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1640 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1641 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1642 there is no need to set this option.
1643
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001644 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1645
1646 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1647 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1648 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1649 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1650 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1651 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1652
1653 Example:
1654 setenv splashpos m,m
1655 => image at center of screen
1656
1657 setenv splashpos 30,20
1658 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1659
1660 setenv splashpos -10,m
1661 => vertically centered image
1662 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1663
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001664- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1665
1666 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1667 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1668 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1669
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001670- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1671
1672 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1673 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1674 bmp command.
1675
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001676- Do compresssing for memory range:
1677 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1678
1679 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1680 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1681
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001682- Compression support:
1683 CONFIG_BZIP2
1684
1685 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1686 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1687 compressed images are supported.
1688
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001689 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001690 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001691 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001692
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001693 CONFIG_LZMA
1694
1695 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1696 images is included.
1697
1698 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1699 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1700 formula:
1701
1702 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1703
1704 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1705 and Literal pos bits.
1706
1707 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1708 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1709 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1710 a very small buffer.
1711
1712 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1713 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001714 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001715
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001716- MII/PHY support:
1717 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1718
1719 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1720
1721 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1722
1723 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1724
1725 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1726
1727 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001728 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001729
1730 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1731
1732 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1733 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1734 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1735 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1736
1737 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1738
1739 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1740 command issued before MII status register can be read

1763 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1764
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001765 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001766 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001769 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1770
1771 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1772 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1773
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001774- Gateway IP address:
1775 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1776
1777 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1778 default router where packets to other networks are
1779 sent to.
1780 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1781
1782- Subnet mask:
1783 CONFIG_NETMASK
1784
1785 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1786 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1787 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1788 forwarded through a router.
1789 (Environment variable "netmask")
1790
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001791- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1792 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1793
1794 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1795 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001796 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001797 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1798 multicast group.
1799
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001800- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1801 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1802
1803 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1804 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1805 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1806 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1807 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1808 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1809 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1810 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001811 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001812
1813 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1814 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1815 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1816 4th and following
1817 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001836
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001837 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1838 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001839
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001840 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1841 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1842 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1843 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1844 is not available.
1845
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001846 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1847 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1848 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1849 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1850 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1851 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1852 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001853 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001854
1855 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1856 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1857 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001858 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001859 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1860 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001862 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1863
1864 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1865 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1866 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1867 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1868 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1869 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1870 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1871 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1872 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1873 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1874 this delay.
1875
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001876 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1877 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1878 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1879 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1880 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1881
1882 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

1891 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1892 of the device.
1893
1894 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1895
1896 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1897 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001898 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001926- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1927
1928 Several configurations allow to display the current
1929 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1930 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1931 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1932 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1933 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1934 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1935 feature in U-Boot.
1936
1937- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1938
1939 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1940 on those systems that support this (optional)
1941 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00001989 additional defines:
1990
1991 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
1992 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
1993 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
1994 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
1995 omit this define.
1996
1997 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
1998 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
1999 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2000 omit this define.
2001
2002 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2003 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2004 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2005 define.
2006
2007 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2008 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2009 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002037- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002038
2039 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2040 provides the following compelling advantages:
2041
2042 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2043 - approved multibus support
2044 - better i2c mux support
2045
2046 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2047
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002048 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2049 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2050 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002051
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002052 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002053 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002054 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2055 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002056 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002057
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002058 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002059
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002060 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002061 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002062
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002063 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002064 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002065 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002066 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002067
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002068 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002069 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002070 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2071 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2072 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002073
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002074 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2075
2076 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2077 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2078 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2079 commands until the slave device responds.
2080
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002081 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002082
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002083 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002084 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2085 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002086
2087 I2C_INIT
2088
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002089 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002090 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002091
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002092 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002093
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002094 I2C_PORT
2095
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002096 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2097 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2098 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002099
2100 I2C_ACTIVE
2101
2102 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2103 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2104 define can be null.
2105
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002106 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2107
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002108 I2C_TRISTATE
2109
2110 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2111 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2112 define can be null.
2113
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002114 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2115
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002116 I2C_READ
2117
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002118 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2119 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002120
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002121 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2122
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002123 I2C_SDA(bit)
2124
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002125 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2126 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002127
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002128 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002129 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002130 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002131
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002132 I2C_SCL(bit)
2133
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002134 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2135 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002136
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002137 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002138 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002139 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002140
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002141 I2C_DELAY
2142
2143 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2144 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002145 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002146 like:
2147
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002148 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002149
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002150 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2151
2152 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2153 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2154 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2155 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2156
2157 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2158 the generic GPIO functions.
2159
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002160 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002161
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002162 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2163 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2164 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2165 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2166 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2167 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2168 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2169 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002170
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002171 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2172
2173 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2174 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2175 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2176 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2177 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2178 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2179 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2180 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2181
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002182 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2183
2184 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2185 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2186 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2187
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002188 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2189
2190 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002191 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2192 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002193 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2194
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002195 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002196
2197 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002198 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002199 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2200 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002201
2202 e.g.
2203 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002204 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002205
2206 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2207
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002208 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002209 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002210
2211 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2212
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002213 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002214
2215 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2216 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2217
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002218 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002219
2220 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2221 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2222
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002223 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002224
2225 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2226 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2227
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002228 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002229
2230 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2231 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2232 specified DTT device.
2233
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002234 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2235
2236 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2237 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2238 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2239 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2240 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2241 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2242 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002262 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2263 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2264 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2265 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2266 defined, the board configuration must define several
2267 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2268 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002269

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002306
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002307 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2308 status by the configuration function. This option
2309 will require a board or device specific function to
2310 be written.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002311
2312 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2313
2314 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2315 configuration driver.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002321
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002322 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2323 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2324 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2325 indicated a CRC error).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002326

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002340
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002341 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002342 200 ms.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002343
2344- Configuration Management:
2345 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2346
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002347 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2348 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002349
2350- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2351
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002352 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2353 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002354 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002355 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2356 protects these variables from casual modification by
2357 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2358 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002359 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002360
2361 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2362 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002363 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002364 these parameters.
2365
2366 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2367 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002368 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002369 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2370 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2371 read-only.]
2372
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002373 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2374 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2375 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2376 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2377
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002378- Protected RAM:
2379 CONFIG_PRAM
2380
2381 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2382 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2383 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2384 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2385 this default value by defining an environment
2386 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2387 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2388 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2389 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2390 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2391 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2392 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2393
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002394 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002395 saveenv
2396
2397 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2398 either, which results in a memory region that will
2399 not be affected by reboots.
2400
2401 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2402 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2403 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2404 following board configurations are known to be
2405 "pRAM-clean":

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002410
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002411- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2412 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2413 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2414 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2415 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2416 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2417 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2418
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002419- Error Recovery:
2420 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2421
2422 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2423 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2424 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002425 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002426 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2427 useful during development since you can try to debug
2428 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2429
2430 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2431
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002432 This variable defines the number of retries for
2433 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2434 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2435 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002436
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002437 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2438
2439 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2440
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002441 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2442
2443 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2444 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2445 try longer timeout such as
2446 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2447
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002448- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002449 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002450
2451 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2452
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002453 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2454 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002455
2456
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002457 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002458
2459 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2460 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2461 powerful command line syntax like
2462 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2463 constructs ("shell scripts").
2464
2465 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2466 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2467
2468
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002469 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002470
2471 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2472 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2473 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2474
2475 Note:
2476
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002477 In the current implementation, the local variables
2478 space and global environment variables space are
2479 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2480 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2481 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2482 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2483 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002484
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002485 Global environment variables are those you use
2486 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2487 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2488 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002489
2490 To store commands and special characters in a
2491 variable, please use double quotation marks
2492 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2493 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2494 symbols.
2495
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002496- Commandline Editing and History:
2497 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2498
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002499 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002500 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002501
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002502- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002503 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2504
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002505 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2506 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002507 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002508
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002509 For example, place something like this in your
2510 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002511
2512 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2513 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2514 "myvar2=value2\0"
2515
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002516 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2517 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2518 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2519 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002520 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002521 You better know what you are doing here.
2522
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002523 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2524 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002525 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002526 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002527
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002528 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2529
2530 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2531 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2532 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2533
2534 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2535
2536 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2537 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2538 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2539 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2540 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2541
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002542 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2543
2544 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2545 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2546 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2547
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002548 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2549
2550 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2551 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2552 that so that the environment is not available until
2553 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2554 this is instead controlled by the value of
2555 /config/load-environment.
2556
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002557- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002558 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2559
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002560 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2561 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2562 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002563
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002564- Serial Flash support
2565 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2566
2567 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2568 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2569
2570 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2571 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2572 commands.
2573
2574 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2575 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2576 flash is present on the system.
2577
2578 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2579 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2580 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2581 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2582
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002583 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2584
2585 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2586 test ('sf test').
2587
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302588 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2589
2590 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2591 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2592
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002593- SystemACE Support:
2594 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2595
2596 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2597 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002598 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002599 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002600
2601 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002602 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002603
2604 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2605 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2606
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002607- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2608 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2609
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002610 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002611 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002612 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002613 number generator is used.
2614
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002615 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2616 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2617 defined, the normal port 69 is used.

2619 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002620 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2621 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2622 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2623 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2624 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2625 but sometimes that is not allowed.

Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002627- Hashing support:
2628 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2629
2630 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2631 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2632
2633 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2634
2635 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2636 size a little.
2637
2638 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2639 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2640
2641 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2642 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2643
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002644- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2645 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2646 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2647 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2648
2649 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2650 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2651 a boot from specific media.
2652
2653 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2654 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2655 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2656 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2657 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2658
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002659- Signing support:
2660 CONFIG_RSA
2661
2662 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2663 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2664
2665 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2666 option.

2671
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002672 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2673 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2674 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2675 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2676 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2677 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002678
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002679- Detailed boot stage timing
2680 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2681 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2682 of the boot process.
2683
2684 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2685 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2686 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2687 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2688 the limit, recording will stop.
2689
2690 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2691 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2692
2693 Timer summary in microseconds:
2694 Mark Elapsed Stage
2695 0 0 reset
2696 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2697 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

2703
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002704 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2705 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2706 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2707
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002708 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2709 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2710 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2711 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2712 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2713 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2714 For example:
2715
2716 bootstage {
2717 154 {
2718 name = "board_init_f";
2719 mark = <3575678>;
2720 };
2721 170 {
2722 name = "lcd";
2723 accum = <33482>;
2724 };
2725 };
2726
2727 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2911 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2912 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2913 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2914 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2915 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2916 configured panel size.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003198- Interrupt support (PPC):
3199
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003200 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3201 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003202 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003203 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003204 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003205 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003206 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003207 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3208 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3209 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003211- General:
3212
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003213 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3214 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3215 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003216 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003217 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3218 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3219 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003220
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003221 If there are no modem init strings in the
3222 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3223 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003224 suppressed, though.

3234following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3235architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003269 Suppress display of console information at boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003270
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003271- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003272 If the board specific function
3273 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3274 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003275 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3276
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003277- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003278 Enable the call to overwrite_console().

3285 simple memory test.
3286
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003287- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003288 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003289
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003290- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003291 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3292 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3293
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003294- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3295 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003296 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003297 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003298 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3299 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3300 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003301 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003302 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003303 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003304
3305 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3306 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3307 be touched.
3308
3309 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3310 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3311 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3312 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3313 problems.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003335 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3336 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3337 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3338 flash sector.

3342
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003343- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003344 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3345 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003346 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003347 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3348
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003349- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003350 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3351 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003352 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3353 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3354 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3355 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003356 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003357 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3358 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3359 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003360
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003361- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3362 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3363 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3364 is enabled.
3365
3366- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3367 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3368 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3369
3370- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3371 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3372 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3373
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003374- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003375 Max number of Flash memory banks
3376
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003377- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:

3391
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003392- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003393 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3394 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3395
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003396- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003397
3398 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3399 without this option such a download has to be
3400 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3401 copy from RAM to flash.
3402
3403 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3404 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003405 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3406 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003407 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3408
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003409- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003410 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003411 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3412
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD00b18832008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003413- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003414 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3415 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003416
Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003417- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3418 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3419 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3420 to the MTD layer.
3421
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003422- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski96ef8312008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003423 Use buffered writes to flash.
3424
3425- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3426 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3427 write commands.
3428
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003429- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003430 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3431 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3432 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3433 optionally available.
3434
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003435- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3436 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3437 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3438 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3439
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003440- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3441 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3442 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3443 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3444 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3445 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3446 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3447 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3448
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003449- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003450 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3451 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003452 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3453 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003454 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003455 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3456
Wolfgang Denkea882ba2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003457- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3458
Wolfgang Denk071bc922010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003459 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3460 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3461 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3462 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3463 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3466- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3467 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3468 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3469 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3470 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3471
3472 The format of the list is:
3473 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003474 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3475 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003476 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3477 list = entry[,list]
3478
3479 The type attributes are:
3480 s - String (default)
3481 d - Decimal
3482 x - Hexadecimal
3483 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3484 i - IP address
3485 m - MAC address
3486
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003487 The access attributes are:
3488 a - Any (default)
3489 r - Read-only
3490 o - Write-once
3491 c - Change-default
3492
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003493 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3494 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3495 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3496
3497 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3498 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3499 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3500 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3501 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3502 ".flags" variable.
3503
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003504- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3505 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3506 access flags.
3507
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003508- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3509 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3510 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3511 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3512 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3513 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3514 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3515 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3516 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3517
Simon Glass632efa72013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003518- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3519 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3520 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3521 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3522 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3523
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003524- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3525 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3526 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3527 the value can be calulated on a given board.

Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003533- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3534
3535 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3536 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3537
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003538- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003539
3540 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3541
3542 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3543 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3544 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3545 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3546 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3547 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3548 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3549 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3550 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3551 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3552 between U-Boot and the environment.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003555
3556 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3557 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3558 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3559 for this sector is given here.
3560
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003561 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003564
3565 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3566 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003567 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003570
3571 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3572
3573
3574 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3575 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3576 the environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003578 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003579
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003580 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003581 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003582 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3583 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3584
3585 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3586 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3587 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3588 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3589 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3590 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3591 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3592 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3593 RAM, your target system will be dead.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003599 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003600 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003617 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003618 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3619 can just be read and written to, without any special
3620 provision.
3621
3622BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3623in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003624console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003625U-Boot will hang.
3626
3627Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3628environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3629keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3630to save the current settings.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003649 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3650 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3651 would require six bits.
3652

3660
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003661 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003662 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3663 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3664 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3665 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3666 byte chips.
3667
3668 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3669 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3670 in the chip address.

3677 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3678
3679 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3680 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over

3683
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003684 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003685

3706
3707 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3708 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3709
3710 These two #defines specify the address and size of the

Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003714
3715BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3716"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003717environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3718but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003727
3728 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003729 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3730 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003734 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003735 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3736 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003737 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003738 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003739
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003740 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3741
3742 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3743 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3744 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3745 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3746 the range to be avoided.
3747
3748 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3749
3750 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3751 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3752 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3753 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3754 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003756- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3757
3758 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3759 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3760 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3761
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003762- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3763
3764 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3765 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3766 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3767
3768 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3769
3770 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3771
3772 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3773
3774 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the

Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003777 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3778
3779 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3780 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3781 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3782
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003783 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3784 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3785
3786 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3787 when storing the env in UBI.
3788
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003789- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3790
3791 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3792 environment.
3793
3794 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3795
3796 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3797
3798 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3799
3800 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3801 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3802 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3803
3804 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3805 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3806
3807 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3808 area within the specified MMC device.
3809
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003810 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3811 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3812 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3813 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3814 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3815 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3816 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3817
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003818 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3819 MMC sector boundary.
3820
3821 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3822
3823 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3824 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3825 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3826 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3827
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003828 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3829 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3830
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003831 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3832 an MMC sector boundary.
3833
3834 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3835
3836 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3837 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3838 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3839
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003840- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841
3842 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3843 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3844 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3845 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3846 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3847 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3848 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3849
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003850Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003851has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003852created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003853until then to read environment variables.
3854
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003855The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3856is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3857with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3858necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3859"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3860have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003861
3862Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003905- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3906 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3907 PowerPC SOCs.
3908
3909- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3910 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3911 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3912
3913 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3914 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3915
3916- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3917 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3918 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003919 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003920 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3921 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3922 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3923
3924 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3925 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)

Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003928 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3929 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003930 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3931 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3932
3933- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3934 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3935 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3936 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3937
3938- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3939 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3940 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

Fabio Estevam66bd1842013-04-11 09:35:34 +00004117- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4118 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4119 a 16 bit bus.
4120 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
Fabio Estevama430e912013-04-11 09:35:35 +00004121 Example of drivers that use it:
Fabio Estevam66bd1842013-04-11 09:35:34 +00004122 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
Fabio Estevama430e912013-04-11 09:35:35 +00004123 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
Alex Watermaneced4622011-05-19 15:08:36 -04004124
4125- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4126 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4127 a default value will be used.

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04004129- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004130 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4131 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4132
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04004133 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4134 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4135
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004136- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004137 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4138 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4139 to something your driver can deal with.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04004140
York Sun1b3e3c42011-06-07 09:42:16 +08004141- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4142 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4143 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4144 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4145 header files or board specific files.
4146
York Sun6f5e1dc2011-09-16 13:21:35 -07004147- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4148 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4149
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004150- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004151 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4152 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
Timur Tabi2ad6b512006-10-31 18:44:42 -06004153
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004154- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4155 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4156
4157- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4158 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004159 to the given FEC; i. e.
4160 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004161 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4162
4163 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4164
4165- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4166 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4167 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4168
4169- CONFIG_RMII
4170 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4171 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4172 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4173
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004174- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4175 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4176 The syntax is:
4177
4178 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4179
4180 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4181 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4182 area should have.
4183
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004184- CONFIG_LOOPW
4185 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004186 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004187
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004188- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4189 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4190 "md/mw" commands.
4191 Examples:
4192
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004193 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004194 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4195
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004196 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004197 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4198
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004199 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004200 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004201
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004202- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004203 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004204 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4205 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4206 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004207
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004208 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4209 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4210 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4211 these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004212
Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004213- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004214 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4215 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4216 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk400558b2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004217
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004218- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4219 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4220 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4221 It is loaded by the SPL.
4222
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004223- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4224 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4225 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4226 previous 4k of the .text section.
4227
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004228- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4229 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4230 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4231 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4232 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4233 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4234 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4235 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4236
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004237- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4238 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4239 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4240 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4241 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4242
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004243- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4244 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4245 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004246
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004247- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4248 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4249
4250 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004251
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004252Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4253-----------------------------------
4254
4255The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4256loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4257This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4258are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4259within that device.
4260
4261- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4262 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4263 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4264 is also specified.
4265
4266- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4267 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4268 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4269 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4270 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4271
4272- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4273 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4274 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4275 virtual address in NOR flash.
4276
4277- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4278 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4279 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4280
4281- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4282 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4283 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4284
4285- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4286 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4287 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4288
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004289- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4290 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4291 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004292 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4293 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4294 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004296Building the Software:
4297======================
4298
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004299Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4300and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4301all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4302(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4303recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4304which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004305
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004306If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4307have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4308you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4309Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4310necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004311
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004312 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4313 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004314
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004315Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4316 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4317 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4318 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4319
4320 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4321
4322 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4323 be executed on computers running Windows.
4324
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004325U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4326sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004327is done by typing:
4328
4329 make NAME_config
4330
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004331where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004332rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004333
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004334Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4335 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4336 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4337 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004338 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004339
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004340 make TQM823L_config
4341 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004342
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004343 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4344 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004345
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004346 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004347
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004348
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004349Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4350images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004351
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004352- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4353- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4354- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004355
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004356By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4357in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4358this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4359
43601. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4361
4362 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4363 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4364 make O=/tmp/build all
4365
43662. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4367
4368 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4369 make distclean
4370 make NAME_config
4371 make all
4372
4373Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4374variable.
4375
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004376
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004377Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4378for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4379native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004380
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004381
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004382If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4383to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4384steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004385
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000043861. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004387 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4388 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000043892. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4390 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4391 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
43923. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4393 your board
43943. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4395 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
43964. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
43975. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4398 to be installed on your target system.
43996. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4400 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004401
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004402
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004403Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4404==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004405
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004406If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4407or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004408provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4409the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004410official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004411
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004412But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4413cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004414the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4415just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004416for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4417select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4418environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004427When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4428U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4429setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4430built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4431<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4432location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4433variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004434
4435 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4436 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4437 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4438
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004439With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4440log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4441during the whole build process.

4505======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004506
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004507U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4508can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004509
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004510Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4511"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4512without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4513environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4514working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4515environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004520
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004521 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004522
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004523 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004524
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004525 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004526
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004527 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004528
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004529 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004530
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004531 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4532 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4533 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4534 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4535 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4536 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004537 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4538 bootm_mapsize.
4539
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004540 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004541 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4542 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4543 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4544 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4545 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4546 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004547
4548 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4549 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4550 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4551 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4552 environment variable.
4553
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004554 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4555 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4556 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4557
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004558 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4559 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4560 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4561 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004562
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004563 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4564 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4565 be automatically started (by internally calling
4566 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004567
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004568 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4569 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4570 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4571 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4572 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004573
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004574 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4575 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004576 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4577 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4578 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4579 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4580 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4581 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4582 access it during the boot procedure.
4583
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004584 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4585 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4586 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4587 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4588 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4589 must be accessible by the kernel.
4590
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004591 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4592 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4593 defined.
4594
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004595 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4596 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4597 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4598 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4599 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4600
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004601 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4602 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4603 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4604 is usually what you want since it allows for
4605 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4606 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004607 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004608 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4609 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4610 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4611 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004612
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004613 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4614 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4615 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4616 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4617 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4618 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004619
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004620 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004621
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004622 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4623 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4624 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4625 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4626 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4627 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4628 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004629
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004630 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004645 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004646
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004647 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4648 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004649
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004650 => setenv ethact FEC
4651 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4652 => setenv ethact SCC
4653 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004654
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004655 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4656 available network interfaces.
4657 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4658
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004659 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004660 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4661 When set to "once" the network operation will
4662 fail when all the available network interfaces
4663 are tried once without success.
4664 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4665 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004666
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004667 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004668
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004669 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4670 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4671 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4672 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4673 is silent.
4674
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004675 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004676 UDP source port.
4677
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004678 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4679 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4680
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004681 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4682 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4683
4684 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4685 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4686 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4687 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4688 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4689 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4690 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4691
4692 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004693 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004694 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004695
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004696The following image location variables contain the location of images
4697used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4698not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4699variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4700server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4701loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4702flash or offset in NAND flash.
4703
4704*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4705boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4706boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004715The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4716updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4717depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004718
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004719 bootfile - see above
4720 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4721 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4722 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4723 hostname - Target hostname
4724 ipaddr - see above
4725 netmask - Subnet Mask
4726 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4727 serverip - see above

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004730There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004731
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004732 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4733 as type string and/or serial number
4734 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004735
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004736These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4737the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4738once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004739
4740
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004741Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004742
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004743 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4744 with the "version" command. This variable is
4745 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004746
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004747
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004748Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4749only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004752Callback functions for environment variables:
4753---------------------------------------------
4754
4755For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4756when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4757be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4758deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4759effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4760
4761The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4762U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4763
4764These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4765static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4766in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4767associations. The list must be in the following format:
4768
4769 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4770 list = entry[,list]
4771
4772If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4773Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4774
4775Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4776with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4777override any association in the static list. You can define
4778CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4779".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004782Command Line Parsing:
4783=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004784
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004785There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4786the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004787
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004788Old, simple command line parser:
4789--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004790
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004791- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4792- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004793- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004794- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4795 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004796 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004797- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4798 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004799
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004800Hush shell:
4801-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004802
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004803- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4804 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4805 until...do...done, ...
4806- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4807 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4808 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4809 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004810
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004811General rules:
4812--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004813
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004814(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4815 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4816 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4817 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004818
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004819(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004820 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004821 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4822 variables are not executed.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004823
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004824Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4825=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004826
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004827Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004828such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4829"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004830
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004831Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4832MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4833"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004834
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004835If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4836in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4837ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4838variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004839
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004840o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4841 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004842
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004843o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4844 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4845 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004846
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004847o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4848 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004849
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004850o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4851 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4852 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004853
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004854o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4855 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004856
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004857If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004858will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004859may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4860The naming convention is as follows:
4861"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004862
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004863Image Formats:
4864==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004865
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004866U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4867images in two formats:
4868
4869New uImage format (FIT)
4870-----------------------
4871
4872Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4873to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4874components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4875SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4876
4877
4878Old uImage format
4879-----------------
4880
4881Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4882preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4883details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004884

4901CRC32 checksums.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004903
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004904Linux Support:
4905==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004906
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004907Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4908easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4909U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004910
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004911U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4912special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4913"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4914instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4915serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004916
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004917- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4918 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4919 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004920
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004921- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4922 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004923
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004924- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4925 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4926 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4927 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4928 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4929 software is easier now.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004932Linux HOWTO:
4933============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004934
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004935Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4936---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004937
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004938U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4939configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4940(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4941Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004942
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004943But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004944
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004945Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4946include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02004947Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4948and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004949as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004950
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004951
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004952Configuring the Linux kernel:
4953-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004954
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004955No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4956device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004957
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004958
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959Building a Linux Image:
4960-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004961
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004962With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4963not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4964"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4965U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4966which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4967100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004968
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004969Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004970
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004971 make TQM850L_config
4972 make oldconfig
4973 make dep
4974 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004975
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004976The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4977encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4978CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004979
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004980* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004992* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004993
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004994 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4995 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00004998
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004999The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5000with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5001combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5002byte header containing information about target architecture,
5003operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5004stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005005
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005006"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5007print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005008
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005009In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5010contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5011checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005012
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005013 tools/mkimage -l image
5014 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005015
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005016The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5017from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005018
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005019 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5020 -n name -d data_file image
5021 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5022 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5023 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5024 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5025 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5026 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5027 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5028 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005029
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005030Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5031address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5032kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005033
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005034- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5035- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005036
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005037So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005038

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005092Installing a Linux Image:
5093-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005094
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005095To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5096you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005097
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005098 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005099
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005100The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5101image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5102address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5103specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5104command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005105
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005106Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005272More About U-Boot Image Types:
5273------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005274
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005275U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005276
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005277 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5278 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5279 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5280 the Standalone Program.
5281 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5282 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5283 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5284 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5285 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5286 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5287 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5288 being started.
5289 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5290 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5291 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5292 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5293 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5294 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005295
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005296 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5297 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5298 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5299 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5300 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5301 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005302
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005303 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5304 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5305 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005306
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005307 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5308 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5309 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5310 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005312Booting the Linux zImage:
5313-------------------------
5314
5315On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5316using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5317as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5318
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005319Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005320kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5321address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5322format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5326=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005327
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005328One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5329run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5330U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005331
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005332Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005337'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5338application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5339It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5340like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005366Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5367handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5368Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5369The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5370character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5371controlled by the following keys:

5435=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005436
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005437Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5438(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005439
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005440Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5441NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5442need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5443Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5444attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5445missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005446
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005447 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5448 # mkdir powerpc
5449 # ln -s powerpc machine
5450 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5451 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005452
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005453Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5454and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005455
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005456Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5457stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5458proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5459tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005466The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5467implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5468inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5469hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005472Initial Stack, Global Data:
5473---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005474
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005475The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5476starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5477system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5478This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5479is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5480at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5481options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5482models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5483MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5484locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005485
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005486 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005494 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5495 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5496 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5497 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5498 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005499 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005500 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5501 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005503 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5504 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005505 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005506 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5507 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5508 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5509 used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005511 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005512 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5513 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005514 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005515 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5516 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5517 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5518 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5519 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005534* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5535 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005536
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005537Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5538normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5539turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5540simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5541functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5542functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5543the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5544place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5545reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005546
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005547When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5548relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5549GCC's implementation.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005551For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5552 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005553 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5555 R5-R10: parameter passing
5556 R13: small data area pointer
5557 R30: GOT pointer
5558 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005559
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005560 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5561 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5562 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005563
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005564 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005565
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005566 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5567 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5568 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5569 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5570 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5571 624 text + 127 data).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005591
Thomas Chou0df01fd2010-05-21 11:08:03 +08005592On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:

5594
5595 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5596
5597 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5598 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00005600On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5601
5602 R0-R1: argument/return
5603 R2-R5: argument
5604 R15: temporary register for assembler
5605 R16: trampoline register

Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005614NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5615or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005617Memory Management:
5618------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005619
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5621MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005622
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005623The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5624controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5625memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5626physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005627
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5629TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5630booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5631to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005632memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5634Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005635
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5637of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005638
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005639So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5640this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005641
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5643 :
5644 0x0000 1FFF
5645 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5646 :
5647 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005648
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005649 :
5650 :
5651 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5652 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5653 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5654 :
5655 0x00FD FFFF
5656 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5657 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5658 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5659 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005660
5661
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005662System Initialization:
5663----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005664
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005665In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005666(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005667configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5668To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5669To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5670initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5671which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5672part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5673the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005674
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005675Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5676preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5677(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5678on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5679programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5680simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5681banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005682
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005683When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5684different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5685bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
56860x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5687contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005688
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005689Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5690and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5691Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5692pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005693
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005694Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5695until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5696running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5697new address in RAM.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005815
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005816* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5817 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5818 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005819
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005820* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5821 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005822
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5824
5825* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5826
5827* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005828 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005829
5830* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5831 document these in the README file.
5832
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005833* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5834 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005835 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005836 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5837 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005838
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005839 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5840 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5841 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005842
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005843 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5844 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5845 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5846 affected files).
5847
5848 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5849 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005850
5851* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5852 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5853
5854* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5855 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5856
5857
5858Notes:
5859
5860* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5861 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5862 for any of the boards.
5863
5864* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5865 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5866 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5867
5868* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5869 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5870 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5871 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5872 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5873 modification.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005875* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5876 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5877 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5878 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
