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 +0000223Software Configuration:
224=======================
225
226Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
227rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
228
229There are two classes of configuration variables:
230
231* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
232 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
233 "CONFIG_".
234
235* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
236 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
237 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200238 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000239
240Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
241identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
242do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
243links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
244as an example here.
245
246
247Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
248---------------------------------------------------
249
250For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
251configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
252
253Example: For a TQM823L module type:
254
255 cd u-boot
256 make TQM823L_config
257
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200258For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
260directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
261
262
263Configuration Options:
264----------------------
265
266Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
267such information is kept in a configuration file
268"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
269
270Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
271"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
272
273
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000274Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
275kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
276build a config tool - later.
277
278
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000279The following options need to be configured:
280

606
607 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
608 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
609 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
610 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
611 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
612 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
613 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000614 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of

656
657 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
658 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
659 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
660 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
661 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
662 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

717 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
718
719 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
720 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
721 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
722
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000723 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
724
725 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
726 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
727 this variable to initialize the extra register.
728
729 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
730
731 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
732 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
733 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000736- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000737 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
738 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
739 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
740 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000741
742 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
743 port routines must be defined elsewhere
744 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
745
746 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000785 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
786 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
787 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
788
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000789 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
790 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
791 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000792
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000793 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
794 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
795 the "silent" environment variable. See
796 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000797
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200798 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
799 is 0x00.
800 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
801 is 0xa0.
802
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000803- Console Baudrate:
804 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
805 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200806 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100809- Console Rx buffer length
810 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
811 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100812 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100813 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
814 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
815 the SMC.
816
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000817- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200818 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
819 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
820 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
821 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
822 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
823 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
824 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200825 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200826 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000827
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200828 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
829 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000830
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000831- Safe printf() functions
832 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
833 the printf() functions. These are defined in
834 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
835 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
836 If this option is not given then these functions will
837 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
838 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
839
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000840- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
841 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
842 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000843 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
844 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000845
846 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
847 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
848 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
849 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
850 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
851 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
852 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
853 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
854 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
855 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
856 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
857 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
858
859- Autoboot Command:
860 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
861 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
862 define a command string that is automatically executed
863 when no character is read on the console interface
864 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
865
866 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000867 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
868 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
869 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000870
871 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000872 The value of these goes into the environment as
873 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
874 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200875 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000876
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100877- Bootcount:
878 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
879 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
880 cycle, see:
881 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
882
883 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
884 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
885 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
886 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
887 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
888 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
889 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
890 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
891 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
892
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000893- Pre-Boot Commands:
894 CONFIG_PREBOOT
895
896 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
897 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
898 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
899 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
900 entering interactive mode.
901
902 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
903 automatically generated or modified. For an example
904 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
905 modified when the user holds down a certain
906 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
907 booting the systems
908
909- Serial Download Echo Mode:
910 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
911 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
912 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
913 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
914 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
915 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
916 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
917
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500918- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000919 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
920 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200921 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000922
923- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500924 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
925 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000926 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
927 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500928 and augmenting with additional #define's
929 for wanted commands.

1039 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1040 support you can write:
1041
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001042 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1043 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

1046 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001047
1048 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001049 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001050 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1051 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1052 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1053 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1054 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1055 initial stack and some data.

1058 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1059
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001060- Regular expression support:
1061 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001062 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1063 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1064 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1065 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001066
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001067- Device tree:
1068 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1069 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1070 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1071 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1072 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1073 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1074
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001075 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1076 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001077
1078 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1079 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1080 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1081 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1082 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1083 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001084
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001085 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1086 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1087 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1088 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1089
1090 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1091
1092 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1093 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1094 still use the individual files if you need something more
1095 exotic.
1096
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001097- Watchdog:
1098 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1099 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001100 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1101 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1102 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1103 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1104 available, then no further board specific code should
1105 be needed to use it.
1106
1107 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1108 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1109 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1110 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001111
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001112- U-Boot Version:
1113 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1114 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1115 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1116 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001117 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1118 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001119
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001120- Real-Time Clock:

1138 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001139
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001140 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1141 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1142
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001143- GPIO Support:
1144 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001145
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001146 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1147 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1148 pins supported by a particular chip.
1149
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001150 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1151 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1152
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001153- Timestamp Support:
1154
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001155 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1156 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1157 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001158 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001159
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001160- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001173 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001174
1175- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001176 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1177 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001178
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001179 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1180 be performed by calling the function
1181 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1182 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001183

1487 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1488 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1489 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1490 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1491 viewport is supported.
1492 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1493 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001494 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1495 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1496 the appropriate value in Hz.

1540 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1541 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1542
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001543 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1544 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1545 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1546 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1547 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1548 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

Wolfgang Denk04e5ae72011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001652 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001653 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1654 support, and should also define these other macros:

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001737 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1738
1739 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1740 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1741 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1742 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1743 a per-section basis.
1744
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001745 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1746
1747 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1748 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1749 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1750 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001751
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001752 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1753

1755
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001756 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1757
1758 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1759 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1760
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001761- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001762
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001763 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1764 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1765 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001766 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001767 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1768 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1769 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1770 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001771
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001772 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1773
1774 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1775 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001776 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001777 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1778 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1779 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1780 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1781 there is no need to set this option.
1782
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001783 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1784
1785 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1786 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1787 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1788 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1789 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1790 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1791
1792 Example:
1793 setenv splashpos m,m
1794 => image at center of screen
1795
1796 setenv splashpos 30,20
1797 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1798
1799 setenv splashpos -10,m
1800 => vertically centered image
1801 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1802
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001803- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1804
1805 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1806 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1807 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1808
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001809- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1810
1811 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1812 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1813 bmp command.
1814
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001815- Do compresssing for memory range:
1816 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1817
1818 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1819 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1820
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001821- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001822 CONFIG_GZIP
1823
1824 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1825
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001826 CONFIG_BZIP2
1827
1828 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1829 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1830 compressed images are supported.
1831
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001832 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001833 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001834 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001835
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001836 CONFIG_LZMA
1837
1838 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1839 images is included.
1840
1841 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1842 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1843 formula:
1844
1845 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1846
1847 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1848 and Literal pos bits.
1849
1850 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1851 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1852 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1853 a very small buffer.
1854
1855 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1856 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001857 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001858
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001859 CONFIG_LZO
1860
1861 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1862 is included.
1863
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001864- MII/PHY support:
1865 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1866
1867 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1868
1869 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1870
1871 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1872
1873 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1874
1875 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001876 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001877
1878 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1879
1880 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1881 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1882 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1883 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1884
1885 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1886
1887 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1888 command issued before MII status register can be read

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001917 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1918
1919 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1920 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1921
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001922- Gateway IP address:

1924
1925 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1926 default router where packets to other networks are
1927 sent to.
1928 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1929
1930- Subnet mask:
1931 CONFIG_NETMASK
1932
1933 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1934 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1935 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1936 forwarded through a router.
1937 (Environment variable "netmask")
1938
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001939- Multicast TFTP Mode:

1941
1942 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1943 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001944 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001945 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1946 multicast group.
1947
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001948- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1949 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1950
1951 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1952 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1953 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1954 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1955 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1956 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1957 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1958 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001959 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001960
1961 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1962 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001988 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1989 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1990 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1991 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1992 is not available.

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001994 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1995 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1996 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1997 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1998 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1999 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2000 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002001 is defined.

2003 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2004 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2005 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002006 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002007 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2008 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002010 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2011
2012 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2013 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2014 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2015 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2016 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2017 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2018 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2019 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2020 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2021 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2022 this delay.

Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002024 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2025 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2026 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2027 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2028 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002074- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2075
2076 Several configurations allow to display the current
2077 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2078 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2079 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2080 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2081 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2082 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2083 feature in U-Boot.
2084
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002085 Additional options:
2086
2087 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2088 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2089 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2090 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2091 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2092
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002093 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2094 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2095 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2096 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2097 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2098 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2099
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002100- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2101
2102 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2103 on those systems that support this (optional)
2104 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2230 omit this define.
2231
2232 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2233 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected

2235 define.
2236
2237 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2238 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2239 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2240 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002268
2269 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2270 provides the following compelling advantages:
2271
2272 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2273 - approved multibus support
2274 - better i2c mux support
2275
2276 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2277
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002278 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2279 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2280 for the selected CPU.

wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002290 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002291 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002292
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002293 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002294 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002295 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002296 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002297
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002298 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002299 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002300 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,

2305
2306 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2307 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2308 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2309 commands until the slave device responds.
2310
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002311 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002312
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002313 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002314 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2315 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002316
2317 I2C_INIT
2318
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002319 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002320 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002321
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002322 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002323
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002324 I2C_PORT
2325
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002326 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2327 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2328 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002329
2330 I2C_ACTIVE
2331
2332 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2333 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2334 define can be null.
2335
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002336 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2337
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002338 I2C_TRISTATE
2339
2340 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2341 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2342 define can be null.
2343
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002344 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2345
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002346 I2C_READ
2347
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002348 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2349 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002350
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002351 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2352
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002353 I2C_SDA(bit)
2354
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002355 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2356 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002357
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002358 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002359 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002362 I2C_SCL(bit)
2363
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002364 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2365 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002366
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002367 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002371 I2C_DELAY
2372
2373 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2374 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002375 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002376 like:
2377
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002378 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002379
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002380 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2381
2382 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2383 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2384 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2385 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2386
2387 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2388 the generic GPIO functions.
2389
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002390 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002391
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002392 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2393 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2394 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2395 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2396 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2397 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2398 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2399 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002400
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002401 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2402
2403 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2404 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2405 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2406 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2407 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2408 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2409 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2410 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2411
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002412 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2413
2414 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2415 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2416 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2417
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002418 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2419
2420 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002421 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2422 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002423 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2424
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002425 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002426
2427 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002428 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002429 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2430 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002431
2432 e.g.
2433 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002434 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002435
2436 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2437
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002438 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002439 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002440
2441 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2442
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002443 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002444
2445 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2446 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2447
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002448 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002449
2450 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2451 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2452
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002453 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002454
2455 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2456 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2457
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002458 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002459
2460 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2461 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2462 specified DTT device.
2463
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002464 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2465
2466 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2467 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2468 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2469 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2470 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2471 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2472 the other.

2493 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2494 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2495 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2496 defined, the board configuration must define several
2497 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2498 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002585 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2586 protects these variables from casual modification by
2587 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2588 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002589 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002590
2591 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2592 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002593 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002594 these parameters.
2595
2596 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2597 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002598 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002599 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2600 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2601 read-only.]
2602
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002603 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2604 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2605 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2606 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2607
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002608- Protected RAM:
2609 CONFIG_PRAM
2610
2611 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2612 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2613 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2614 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2615 this default value by defining an environment
2616 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2617 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2618 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2619 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2620 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2621 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2622 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2623
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002624 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002625 saveenv
2626
2627 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2628 either, which results in a memory region that will
2629 not be affected by reboots.
2630
2631 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2632 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2633 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2634 following board configurations are known to be
2635 "pRAM-clean":
2636
Wolfgang Denk1b0757e2012-10-24 02:36:15 +00002637 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002640
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002641- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2642 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2643 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2644 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2645 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2646 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2647 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2648
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002649- Error Recovery:
2650 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2651
2652 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2653 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2654 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002655 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002656 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2657 useful during development since you can try to debug
2658 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2659
2660 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2661
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002662 This variable defines the number of retries for
2663 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2664 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2665 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002666
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002667 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2668
2669 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2670
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002671 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2672
2673 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2674 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2675 try longer timeout such as
2676 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2677
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002678- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002679 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002680
2681 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2682
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002683 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2684 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002685
2686
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002687 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002688
2689 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2690 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2691 powerful command line syntax like
2692 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2693 constructs ("shell scripts").
2694
2695 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2696 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2697
2698
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002699 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002700
2701 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2702 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2703 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2704
2705 Note:
2706
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002707 In the current implementation, the local variables
2708 space and global environment variables space are
2709 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2710 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2711 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2712 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2713 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002714
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002715 Global environment variables are those you use
2716 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2717 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2718 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002719
2720 To store commands and special characters in a
2721 variable, please use double quotation marks
2722 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2723 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2724 symbols.
2725
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002726- Commandline Editing and History:
2727 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2728
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002729 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002730 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002731
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002732- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002733 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2734
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002735 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2736 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002737 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002738
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002739 For example, place something like this in your
2740 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002741
2742 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2743 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2744 "myvar2=value2\0"
2745
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002746 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2747 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2748 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2749 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002750 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002751 You better know what you are doing here.
2752
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002753 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2754 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002755 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002756 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002757
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002758 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2759
2760 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2761 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2762 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2763
2764 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2765
2766 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2767 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2768 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2769 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2770 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2771
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002772 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2773
2774 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2775 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2776 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2777
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002778 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2779
2780 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2781 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2782 that so that the environment is not available until
2783 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2784 this is instead controlled by the value of
2785 /config/load-environment.
2786
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002787- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002788 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2789
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002790 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2791 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2792 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002793
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002794- Serial Flash support
2795 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2796
2797 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2798 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2799
2800 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2801 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2802 commands.
2803
2804 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2805 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2806 flash is present on the system.
2807
2808 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2809 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2810 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2811 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2812
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002813 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2814
2815 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2816 test ('sf test').
2817
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302818 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2819
2820 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2821 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2822
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302823 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2824
2825 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2826 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2827 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2828
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002829- SystemACE Support:
2830 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2831
2832 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2833 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002834 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002835 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002836
2837 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002838 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002839
2840 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2841 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2842
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002843- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2844 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2845
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002846 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002847 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002848 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002849 number generator is used.
2850
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002851 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2852 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2853 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2854
2855 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002856 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2857 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2858 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2859 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2860 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2861 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2862
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002863- Hashing support:
2864 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2865
2866 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2867 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2868
2869 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2870
2871 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2872 size a little.
2873
2874 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2875 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2876
2877 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2878 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2879
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002880- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2881 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2882 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2883 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2884
2885 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2886 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2887 a boot from specific media.
2888
2889 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2890 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2891 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2892 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2893 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2894
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002895- Signing support:
2896 CONFIG_RSA
2897
2898 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002899 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002900
2901 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2902 option.
2903
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002904- bootcount support:
2905 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2906
2907 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2908 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2909
2910 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2911 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2912 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2913 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2914 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2915 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2916 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2917 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2918 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2919 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2920 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2921 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2922 the bootcounter.
2923 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002924
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002925- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002926 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2927
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002928 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2929 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2930 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2931 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2932 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2933 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002934
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002935- Detailed boot stage timing
2936 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2937 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2938 of the boot process.
2939
2940 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2941 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2942 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2943 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2944 the limit, recording will stop.
2945
2946 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2947 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2948
2949 Timer summary in microseconds:
2950 Mark Elapsed Stage

Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002960 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2961 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2962 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2963
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002964 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2965 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2966 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2967 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2968 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2969 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2970 For example:
2971
2972 bootstage {
2973 154 {
2974 name = "board_init_f";
2975 mark = <3575678>;
2976 };
2977 170 {
2978 name = "lcd";
2979 accum = <33482>;
2980 };
2981 };
2982
2983 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003460- Interrupt support (PPC):
3461
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003462 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3463 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003464 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003465 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003466 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003467 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003468 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003469 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3470 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3471 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003473- General:
3474
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003475 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3476 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3477 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003478 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003479 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3480 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3481 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003482
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003483 If there are no modem init strings in the
3484 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3485 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003486 suppressed, though.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003559- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3560 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003561 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003562 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003563 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3564 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3565 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003566 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003567 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003568 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003569
3570 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3571 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3572 be touched.
3573
3574 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3575 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3576 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3577 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3578 problems.

3663 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3664 without this option such a download has to be
3665 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3666 copy from RAM to flash.
3667
3668 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3669 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003670 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3671 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003715 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3716 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003717 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3718 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003719 on high Ethernet traffic.

Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003773- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3774 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3775 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3776 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3777 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3778 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3779 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3780 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3781 your board please report the problem and send patches!

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003788The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3789of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3790following configurations:
3791
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003792- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3793
3794 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3795 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3796
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003797- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003798
3799 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3800
3801 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3802 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3803 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3804 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3805 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3806 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3807 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3808 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3809 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3810 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3811 between U-Boot and the environment.
3812
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003813 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003814
3815 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3816 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3817 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3818 for this sector is given here.
3819
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003820 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003823
3824 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3825 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003826 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003827
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003828 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003829
3830 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3831
3832
3833 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3834 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3835 the environment.
3836
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003837 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003838
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003839 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003840 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3842 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3843
3844 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3845 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3846 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3847 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3848 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3849 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3850 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3851 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3852 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003877 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3878 can just be read and written to, without any special
3879 provision.
3880
3881BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3882in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003883console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003884U-Boot will hang.
3885
3886Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the

wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003921 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3922 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3923 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3924 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3925 byte chips.
3926
3927 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3928 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3929 in the chip address.

3974BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3975"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003976environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3977but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003993 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003994 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3995 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003996 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003999 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4000
4001 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4002 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4003 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4004 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4005 the range to be avoided.
4006
4007 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4008
4009 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4010 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4011 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4012 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004015- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4016
4017 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the

Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004021- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4022
4023 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4024 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4025 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4026
4027 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4028
4029 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4030

Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004036 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4037
4038 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4039 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4040 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4041
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004042 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4043 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4044
4045 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system

Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004048- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4049
4050 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4051 environment.
4052
4053 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4054
4055 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4056
4057 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4058
4059 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4060 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4061 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4062
4063 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4064 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4065
4066 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4067 area within the specified MMC device.
4068
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004069 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4070 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4071 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4072 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4073 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4074 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4075 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4076
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004077 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4078 MMC sector boundary.
4079
4080 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4081
4082 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4083 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4084 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4085 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4086
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004087 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4088 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4089
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004090 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4091 an MMC sector boundary.
4092
4093 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4094
4095 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4096 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4097 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4098
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004099- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004100
4101 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4102 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4103 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4104 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4105 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4106 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4107 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4108
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004109Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004110has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004111created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004112until then to read environment variables.
4113
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004114The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4115is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4116with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4117necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4118"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4119have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004120
4121Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4122the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004123use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004129 also needs to be defined.
4130
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004131- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004134- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4135 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4136 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4137 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4138 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4139 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4140
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004141- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004154- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004155 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4156
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004157- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004158 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004159
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004160 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4161 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4162 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004164- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4165 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4166 PowerPC SOCs.
4167
4168- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4169 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4170 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4171
4172 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4173 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4174
4175- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4176 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4177 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004178 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004179 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4180 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4181 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4182
4183 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4184 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4185
4186- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004187 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4188 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004189 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4190 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4191
4192- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4193 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4194 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4195 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4196
4197- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4198 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4199 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004213 defines the offset of register from address. It
4214 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004215 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +00004216
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004217 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4218 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004219 default value.
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +00004220
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004221 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004222 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4223 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4224 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4225 initializations.

Macpaul Lin0abddf82011-04-11 20:45:32 +00004227- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4228 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4229 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4230 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4231 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4232 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4233 is requierd.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004240
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00004241 Start address of memory area that can be used for
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004242 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4243 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4244 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4245 will become available only after programming the
4246 memory controller and running certain initialization
4247 sequences.
4248
4249 U-Boot uses the following memory types:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004257 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4258 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004259 data is located at the end of the available space
Wolfgang Denk553f0982010-10-26 13:32:32 +02004260 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004261 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4262 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4263 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004264
4265 Note:
4266 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4267 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004268 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004269 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4270 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004409- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004410 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4411 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
Timur Tabi2ad6b512006-10-31 18:44:42 -06004412
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004413- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4414 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4415
4416- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4417 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004418 to the given FEC; i. e.
4419 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004420 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4421
4422 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4423
4424- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4425 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4426 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4427
4428- CONFIG_RMII
4429 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4430 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4431 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4432
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004433- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4434 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4435 The syntax is:
4436
4437 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4438
4439 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4440 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4441 area should have.
4442
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004443- CONFIG_LOOPW
4444 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004445 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004446
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004447- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4448 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4449 "md/mw" commands.
4450 Examples:
4451
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004452 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004453 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4454
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004455 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004456 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4457
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004458 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004459 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004460
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004461- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004462 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004463 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4464 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4465 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004466
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004467 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4468 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4469 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4470 these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004471
Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004472- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004473 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4474 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4475 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk400558b2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004476
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004477- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4478 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4479 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4480 It is loaded by the SPL.
4481
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004482- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4483 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4484 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4485 previous 4k of the .text section.
4486
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004487- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4488 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4489 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4490 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4491 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4492 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4493 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4494 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4495
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004496- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4497 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4498 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4499 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4500 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4501
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004502- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4503 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4504 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004505
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004506- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4507 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4508
4509 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004510
Heiko Schocher16678eb2013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004511- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4512 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4513
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004514Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4515-----------------------------------
4516
4517The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4518loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4519This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4520are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4521within that device.
4522
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004523- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4524 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4525 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4526 is also specified.
4527
4528- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4529 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004530 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4531 is also specified.
4532
4533- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4534 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4535 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4536 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4537 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4538
4539- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4540 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4541 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4542 virtual address in NOR flash.
4543
4544- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4545 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4546 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4547
4548- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4549 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4550 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4551
4552- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4553 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4554 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4555
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004556- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4557 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4558 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004559 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4560 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4561 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004563Building the Software:
4564======================
4565
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004566Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4567and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4568all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4569(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4570recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4571which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004572
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004573If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4574have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4575you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4576Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4577necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004578
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004579 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4580 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004581
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004582Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4583 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4584 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4585 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4586
4587 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4588
4589 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4590 be executed on computers running Windows.
4591
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004592U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4593sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004594is done by typing:
4595
4596 make NAME_config
4597
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004598where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004599rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004600
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004601Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4602 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4603 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4604 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004605 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004606
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004607 make TQM823L_config
4608 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004609
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004610 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4611 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004612
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004613 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004614
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004615
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004616Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4617images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004618
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004619- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4620- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4621- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004622
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004623By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4624in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4625this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4626
46271. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4628
4629 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4630 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4631 make O=/tmp/build all
4632
46332. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4634
4635 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4636 make distclean
4637 make NAME_config
4638 make all
4639
4640Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4641variable.
4642
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004643
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004644Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4645for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4646native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004647
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004648
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004649If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4650to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4651steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004652
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046531. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004654 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4655 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046562. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4657 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4658 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46593. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4660 your board
46613. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4662 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46634. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46645. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4665 to be installed on your target system.
46666. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4667 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004668
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004669
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004670Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4671==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004672
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004673If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4674or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004675provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4676the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004677official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004678
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004679But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4680cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004681the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4682just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004683for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4684select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4685environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4686you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004687
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004688 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004689
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004690or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004691
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004692 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004693
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004694When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4695U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4696setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4697built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4698<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4699location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4700variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004701
4702 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4703 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4704 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4705
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004706With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4707log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4708during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004771Environment Variables:
4772======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004773
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004774U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4775can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004776
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004777Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4778"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4779without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4780environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4781working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4782environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004783
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004784Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4785
4786List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004787
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004788 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004789
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004790 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004791
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004792 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004793
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004794 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004795
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004796 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004797
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004798 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4799 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4800 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4801 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4802 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4803 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004804 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4805 bootm_mapsize.
4806
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004807 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004808 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4809 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4810 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4811 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4812 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4813 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004814
4815 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4816 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4817 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4818 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4819 environment variable.
4820
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004821 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4822 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4823 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4824
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004825 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4826 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4827 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4828 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004829
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004830 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4831 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4832 be automatically started (by internally calling
4833 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004834
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004835 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4836 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4837 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4838 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4839 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004840
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004841 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4842 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004843 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4844 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4845 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4846 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4847 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4848 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4849 access it during the boot procedure.
4850
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004851 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4852 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4853 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4854 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4855 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4856 must be accessible by the kernel.
4857
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004858 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4859 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4860 defined.
4861
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004862 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4863 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4864 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4865 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4866 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4867
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004868 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4869 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4870 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4871 is usually what you want since it allows for
4872 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4873 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004874 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004875 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4876 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4877 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4878 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004879
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004880 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4881 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4882 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4883 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4884 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4885 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004886
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004887 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004888
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004889 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4890 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4891 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4892 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4893 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4894 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4895 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004896
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004897 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004909
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004910 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004911
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004912 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004913
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004914 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4915 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004916
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004917 => setenv ethact FEC
4918 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4919 => setenv ethact SCC
4920 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004921
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004922 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4923 available network interfaces.
4924 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4925
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004926 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004927 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4928 When set to "once" the network operation will
4929 fail when all the available network interfaces
4930 are tried once without success.
4931 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4932 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004933
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004934 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004935
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004936 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4937 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4938 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4939 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4940 is silent.
4941
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004942 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004943 UDP source port.
4944
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004945 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4946 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4947
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004948 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4949 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4950
4951 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4952 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4953 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4954 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4955 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4956 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4957 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4958
4959 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004960 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004961 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004962
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004963The following image location variables contain the location of images
4964used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4965not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4966variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4967server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4968loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4969flash or offset in NAND flash.
4970
4971*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4972boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4973boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005003These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5004the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5005once they have been set once.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005008Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005009
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005010 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5011 with the "version" command. This variable is
5012 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005014
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5016only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005019Callback functions for environment variables:
5020---------------------------------------------
5021
5022For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5023when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5024be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5025deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5026effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5027
5028The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5029U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5030
5031These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5032static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5033in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5034associations. The list must be in the following format:
5035
5036 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5037 list = entry[,list]
5038
5039If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5040Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5041
5042Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5043with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5044override any association in the static list. You can define
5045CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5046".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5050=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005051
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005052There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5053the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005054
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005055Old, simple command line parser:
5056--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005057
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5059- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005060- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005061- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5062 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005063 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005064- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5065 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005066
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005067Hush shell:
5068-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005069
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005070- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5071 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5072 until...do...done, ...
5073- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5074 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5075 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5076 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005077
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005078General rules:
5079--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005080
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005081(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5082 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5083 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5084 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005085
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005086(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005087 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005088 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5089 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005091Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5092=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005093
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005094Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005095such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5096"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005097
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005098Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5099MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5100"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005101
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005102If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5103in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5104ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5105variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005106
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005107o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5108 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005109
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005110o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5111 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5112 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005113
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005114o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5115 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005116
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005117o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5118 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5119 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005120
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005121o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5122 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005123
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005124If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005125will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005126may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5127The naming convention is as follows:
5128"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005129
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005130Image Formats:
5131==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005132
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005133U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5134images in two formats:
5135
5136New uImage format (FIT)
5137-----------------------
5138
5139Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5140to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5141components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5142SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5143
5144
5145Old uImage format
5146-----------------
5147
5148Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5149preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5150details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151

5168CRC32 checksums.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005170
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005171Linux Support:
5172==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005173
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005174Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5175easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5176U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005177
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005178U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5179special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5180"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5181instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5182serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005183
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005184- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5185 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5186 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005187
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005188- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5189 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005190
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005191- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5192 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5193 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5194 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5195 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5196 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005197

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005199Linux HOWTO:
5200============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005201
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005202Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5203---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005204
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005205U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5206configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5207(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5208Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005209
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005210But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005211
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005212Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5213include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005214Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5215and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005216as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005217
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005218
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005219Configuring the Linux kernel:
5220-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005221
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005222No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5223device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005224
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005225
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005226Building a Linux Image:
5227-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005228
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005229With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5230not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5231"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5232U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5233which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5234100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005235
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005237
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005238 make TQM850L_config
5239 make oldconfig
5240 make dep
5241 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005242
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005243The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5244encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5245CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005246
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005247* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005248
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005249* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005250
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005251 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5252 -R .note -R .comment \
5253 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005254
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005255* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005256
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005257 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005258
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005259* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005260
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005261 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5262 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5263 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005264
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005265
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005266The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5267with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5268combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5269byte header containing information about target architecture,
5270operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5271stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005273"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5274print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005275
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005276In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5277contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5278checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005279
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005280 tools/mkimage -l image
5281 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005282
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005283The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5284from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005285
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005286 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5287 -n name -d data_file image
5288 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5289 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5290 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5291 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5292 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5293 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5294 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5295 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005296
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005297Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5298address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5299kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005300
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005301- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5302- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005303
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005304So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005305

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005358The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5359option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5360option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5361from the image:
5362
5363 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5364 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005368Installing a Linux Image:
5369-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005370
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005371To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5372you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005373
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005374 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005375
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005376The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5377image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5378address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5379specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5380command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005381
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005382Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

5549------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005550
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005551U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005552
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005553 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5554 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5555 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5556 the Standalone Program.
5557 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5558 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5559 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5560 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5561 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5562 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5563 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5564 being started.
5565 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5566 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5567 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5568 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5569 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5570 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005572 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5573 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5574 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5575 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5576 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5577 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005578
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005579 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5580 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5581 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005582
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005583 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5584 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5585 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5586 as command interpreter.

5589-------------------------
5590
5591On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5592using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5593as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5594
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005595Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005596kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5597address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5598format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5602=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005603
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005604One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5605run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5606U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005607
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005613'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5614application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5615It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5616like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5643handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5644Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5645The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5646character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5647controlled by the following keys:

5711=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005712
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5714(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005715
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005716Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5717NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5718need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5719Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5720attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5721missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005722
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005723 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5724 # mkdir powerpc
5725 # ln -s powerpc machine
5726 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5727 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005728
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005729Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5730and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005731
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005732Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5733stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5734proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5735tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005742The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5743implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5744inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5745hardware.

5749---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005750
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005751The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5752starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5753system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5754This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5755is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5756at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5757options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5758models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5759MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5760locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005761
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005762 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005770 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5771 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5772 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5773 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5774 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005775 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005776 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5777 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005779 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5780 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005781 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005782 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5783 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5784 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5785 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005786
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005787 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005788 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5789 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005790 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005791 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5792 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5793 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5794 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5795 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005800It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5801code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005802
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005803* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5804 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005805
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005806* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005807 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5808 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005809
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005810* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5811 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005812
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005813Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5814normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5815turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5816simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5817functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5818functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5819the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5820place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5821reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005822
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5824relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5825GCC's implementation.

Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005829 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005830 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5831 R5-R10: parameter passing
5832 R13: small data area pointer
5833 R30: GOT pointer
5834 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005835
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005836 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5837 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5838 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005839
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005840 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005841
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005842 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5843 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5844 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5845 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5846 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5847 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005854On ARM, the following registers are used:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005855
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005856 R0: function argument word/integer result
5857 R1-R3: function argument word
Jeroen Hofstee12eba1b2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02005858 R9: platform specific
5859 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005860 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5861 R12: temporary workspace
5862 R13: stack pointer
5863 R14: link register
5864 R15: program counter
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005865
Jeroen Hofstee12eba1b2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02005866 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5867
5868 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005869
Thomas Chou0df01fd2010-05-21 11:08:03 +08005870On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5871 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5872
5873 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5874
5875 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5876 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5877
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00005878On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5879
5880 R0-R1: argument/return
5881 R2-R5: argument
5882 R15: temporary register for assembler
5883 R16: trampoline register
5884 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5885 R29: global pointer (GP)
5886 R30: link register (LP)
5887 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5888 PC: program counter (PC)
5889
5890 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5891
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005892NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5893or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005894
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005895Memory Management:
5896------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005897
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005898U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5899MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005900
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005901The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5902controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5903memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5904physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005905
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005906U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5907TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5908booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5909to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005910memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005911configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5912Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005913
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005914Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5915of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005916
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005917So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5918this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005919
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005920 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5921 :
5922 0x0000 1FFF
5923 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5924 :
5925 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005926
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005927 :
5928 :
5929 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5930 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5931 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5932 :
5933 0x00FD FFFF
5934 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5935 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5936 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5937 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005938
5939
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005940System Initialization:
5941----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005942
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005943In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005944(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005945configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5946To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5947To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5948initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5949which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5950part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5951the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005952
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005953Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5954preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5955(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5956on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5957programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5958simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5959banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005960
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005961When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5962different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5963bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59640x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5965contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005966
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005967Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5968and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5969Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5970pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005971
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005972Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5973until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5974running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5975new address in RAM.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006111* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6112 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006113 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006114 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6115 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006117 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6118 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6119 GNU diff.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006121 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6122 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6123 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6124 affected files).
6125
6126 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6127 and compressed attachments must not be used.

6129* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6130 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6131
6132* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6133 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6134
6135
6136Notes:
6137
6138* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6139 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6140 for any of the boards.
6141
6142* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6143 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6144 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6145
6146* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6147 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6148 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6149 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6150 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6151 modification.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006153* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6154 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6155 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6156 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
