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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000584 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
585
586 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
587 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
588 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
589 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
590 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
591 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
592 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000593 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100594 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200634 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
635
636 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
637 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
638 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
639 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
640 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
641 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
642

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000764 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
765 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
766 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
767
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000768 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
769 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
770 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000771
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000772 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
773 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
774 the "silent" environment variable. See
775 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000776
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200777 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
778 is 0x00.
779 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
780 is 0xa0.
781
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000782- Console Baudrate:
783 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
784 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200785 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
786 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000787
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100788- Console Rx buffer length
789 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
790 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100791 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100792 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
793 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
794 the SMC.
795
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000796- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200797 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
798 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
799 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
800 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
801 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
802 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
803 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200804 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200805 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000806
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200807 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
808 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000809
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000810- Safe printf() functions
811 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
812 the printf() functions. These are defined in
813 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
814 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
815 If this option is not given then these functions will
816 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
817 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
818
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000819- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
820 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
821 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000822 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
823 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000824
825 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
826 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
827 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
828 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
829 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
830 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
831 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
832 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
833 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
834 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
835 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
836 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
837
838- Autoboot Command:
839 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
840 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
841 define a command string that is automatically executed
842 when no character is read on the console interface
843 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
844
845 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000846 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
847 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
848 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000849
850 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000851 The value of these goes into the environment as
852 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
853 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200854 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000855
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100856- Bootcount:
857 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
858 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
859 cycle, see:
860 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
861
862 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
863 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
864 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
865 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
866 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
867 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
868 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
869 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
870 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
871
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000872- Pre-Boot Commands:
873 CONFIG_PREBOOT
874
875 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
876 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
877 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
878 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
879 entering interactive mode.
880
881 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
882 automatically generated or modified. For an example
883 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
884 modified when the user holds down a certain
885 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
886 booting the systems
887
888- Serial Download Echo Mode:
889 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
890 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
891 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
892 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
893 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
894 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
895 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
896
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500897- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000898 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
899 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200900 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000901
902- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500903 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
904 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000905 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
906 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500907 and augmenting with additional #define's
908 for wanted commands.

1017 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1018 support you can write:
1019

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001028 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1029 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1030 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1031 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1032 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1033 initial stack and some data.

1036 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1037
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001038- Regular expression support:
1039 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001040 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1041 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1042 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1043 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001044
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001045- Device tree:
1046 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1047 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1048 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1049 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1050 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1051 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1052
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001053 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1054 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001055
1056 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1057 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1058 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1059 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1060 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1061 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001062
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001063 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1064 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1065 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1066 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1067
1068 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1069
1070 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1071 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1072 still use the individual files if you need something more
1073 exotic.
1074
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001075- Watchdog:
1076 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1077 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001078 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1079 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1080 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1081 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1082 available, then no further board specific code should
1083 be needed to use it.
1084
1085 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1086 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1087 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1088 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001089
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001090- U-Boot Version:
1091 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1092 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1093 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1094 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001095 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1096 next reset.

1116 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001117
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001118 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1119 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1120
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001121- GPIO Support:
1122 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001123
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001124 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1125 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1126 pins supported by a particular chip.
1127
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001128 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1129 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1130
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001131- Timestamp Support:
1132
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001133 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1134 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1135 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001136 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001137
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001138- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001152
1153- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001154 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1155 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001156
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001157 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1158 be performed by calling the function
1159 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1160 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001161

Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001392 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1393 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denk386eda02006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001394 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001395 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1396 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1397 a Linux host by
1398 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1399 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1400 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1401 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

1465 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1466 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1467 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1468 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1469 viewport is supported.
1470 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1471 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001472 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1473 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1474 the appropriate value in Hz.

1517 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1518 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1519 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1520
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001521 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1522 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1523 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1524 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1525 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1526 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1622 support, and should also define these other macros:
1623
1624 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1625 CONFIG_VIDEO
1626 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1627 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1628 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1629 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1630 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1631 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1632
Timur Tabiba8e76b2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001633 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1634 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1635 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1636 description of this variable.
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001637
Simon Glass058d59b2012-12-03 13:59:47 +00001638 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1639
1640 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1641 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1642 driver.
1643
1644
wdenk682011f2003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001645- Keyboard Support:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001646 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
wdenk682011f2003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001647
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001648 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1649 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1650 defined in your board-specific files.
1651 The only board using this so far is RBC823.
wdenka6c7ad22002-12-03 21:28:10 +00001652
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001653- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1654
1655 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1656 display); also select one of the supported displays
1657 by defining one of these:
1658
Stelian Pop39cf4802008-05-09 21:57:18 +02001659 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:

1677 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1678
1679 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1680 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1681
1682 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001703 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001704
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001705 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1706
1707 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1708 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1709 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1710 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1711 a per-section basis.
1712
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001713 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1714
1715 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1716 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1717 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1718 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001719
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001720 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1721
1722 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1723
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001724 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1725
1726 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1727 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1728
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001729- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001730
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001731 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1732 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1733 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001734 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001735 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1736 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1737 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1738 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001739
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001740 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1741
1742 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1743 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1744 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1745 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1746 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1747 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1748 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1749 there is no need to set this option.
1750
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001751 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1752
1753 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1754 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1755 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1756 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1757 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1758 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1759
1760 Example:
1761 setenv splashpos m,m
1762 => image at center of screen
1763
1764 setenv splashpos 30,20
1765 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1766
1767 setenv splashpos -10,m
1768 => vertically centered image
1769 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1770
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001771- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1772
1773 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1774 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1775 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1776
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001777- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1778
1779 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1780 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1781 bmp command.
1782
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001783- Do compresssing for memory range:
1784 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1785
1786 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1787 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1788
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001789- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001790 CONFIG_GZIP
1791
1792 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1793
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001794 CONFIG_BZIP2
1795
1796 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1797 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1798 compressed images are supported.
1799
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001800 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001801 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001802 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001803
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001804 CONFIG_LZMA
1805
1806 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1807 images is included.
1808
1809 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1810 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1811 formula:
1812
1813 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1814
1815 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1816 and Literal pos bits.
1817
1818 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1819 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1820 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1821 a very small buffer.
1822
1823 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1824 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001825 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001826
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001827 CONFIG_LZO
1828
1829 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1830 is included.
1831
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001832- MII/PHY support:
1833 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1834
1835 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1836
1837 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1838
1839 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1840
1841 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1842
1843 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001844 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001845
1846 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1847
1848 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1849 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1850 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1851 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1852
1853 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1854
1855 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1856 command issued before MII status register can be read
1857

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001866 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1867 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001868 is not determined automatically.
1869
1870- IP address:
1871 CONFIG_IPADDR
1872
1873 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001874 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001875 determined through e.g. bootp.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001876 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001877
1878- Server IP address:
1879 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1880
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001881 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001882 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001883 (Environment variable "serverip")

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001885 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1886
1887 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1888 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1889
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001890- Gateway IP address:
1891 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1892
1893 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1894 default router where packets to other networks are
1895 sent to.
1896 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1897
1898- Subnet mask:
1899 CONFIG_NETMASK
1900
1901 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1902 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1903 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1904 forwarded through a router.
1905 (Environment variable "netmask")
1906
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001907- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1908 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1909
1910 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1911 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001912 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001913 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1914 multicast group.
1915
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001916- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1917 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1918
1919 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1920 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1921 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1922 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1923 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1924 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1925 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1926 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001927 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001928
1929 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1930 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1931 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1932 4th and following
1933 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001952
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001953 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1954 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001955
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001956 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1957 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1958 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1959 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1960 is not available.
1961
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001962 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1963 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1964 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1965 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1966 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1967 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1968 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001969 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001970
1971 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1972 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1973 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001974 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001975 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1976 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001977
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001978 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1979
1980 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1981 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1982 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1983 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1984 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1985 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1986 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1987 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1988 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1989 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1990 this delay.

1993 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1994 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1995 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1996 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002042- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2043
2044 Several configurations allow to display the current
2045 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2046 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2047 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2048 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2049 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2050 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2051 feature in U-Boot.
2052
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002053 Additional options:
2054
2055 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2056 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2057 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2058 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2059 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2060
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002061 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2062 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2063 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2064 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2065 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2066 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2067
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002068- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2069
2070 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2071 on those systems that support this (optional)
2072 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002236
2237 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2238 provides the following compelling advantages:
2239
2240 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2241 - approved multibus support
2242 - better i2c mux support
2243
2244 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2245
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002246 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2247 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2248 for the selected CPU.

wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002258 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002259 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002260
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002261 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002262 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002263 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002264 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002265
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002266 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002267 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002268 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2269 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2270 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002271
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002272 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2273
2274 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2275 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2276 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2277 commands until the slave device responds.
2278
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002279 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2300 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2301 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2302 define can be null.
2303
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002304 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)

2307
2308 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2309 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2310 define can be null.
2311

2315
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002316 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2317 false if it is low.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002339 I2C_DELAY
2340
2341 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2342 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002343 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002344 like:
2345

Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002348 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2349
2350 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2351 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2352 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2353 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2354
2355 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2356 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002359
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002360 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2361 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2362 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2363 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2364 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2365 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2366 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2367 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002368
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002369 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2370
2371 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2372 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2373 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2374 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2375 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2376 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2377 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2378 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002380 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2381
2382 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2383 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2384 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2385
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002386 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2387
2388 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002389 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2390 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002391 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002393 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002394
2395 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002396 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002397 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2398 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002399
2400 e.g.

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002403
2404 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2405
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002406 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

2413 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2414 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.

2425
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002426 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002427
2428 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2429 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2430 specified DTT device.
2431
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002432 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2433
2434 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2435 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2436 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2437 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2438 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2439 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2440 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002547
2548- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2549
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002550 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2551 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002552 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002553 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2554 protects these variables from casual modification by
2555 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2556 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002557 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002558
2559 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2560 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002561 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002562 these parameters.
2563
2564 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2565 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002566 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002567 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2568 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2569 read-only.]
2570
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002571 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2572 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2573 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2574 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2575
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002576- Protected RAM:
2577 CONFIG_PRAM
2578
2579 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2580 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2581 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2582 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2583 this default value by defining an environment
2584 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2585 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2586 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2587 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2588 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2589 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2590 argument to Linux, for instance like that:

Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002592 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002593 saveenv
2594
2595 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2596 either, which results in a memory region that will
2597 not be affected by reboots.
2598
2599 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2600 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2601 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2602 following board configurations are known to be
2603 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002609- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2610 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2611 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2612 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2613 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2614 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2615 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2616
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002617- Error Recovery:
2618 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2619
2620 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2621 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2622 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002623 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002624 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2625 useful during development since you can try to debug
2626 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2627
2628 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2629
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002630 This variable defines the number of retries for
2631 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2632 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2633 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002634
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002635 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2636
2637 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2638
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002639 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2640
2641 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2642 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2643 try longer timeout such as
2644 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2645
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002646- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002647 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002648
2649 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2650
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002651 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2652 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002653
2654
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002655 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002656
2657 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2658 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2659 powerful command line syntax like
2660 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2661 constructs ("shell scripts").
2662
2663 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2664 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2665
2666
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002667 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002668
2669 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2670 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2671 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2672
2673 Note:
2674
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002675 In the current implementation, the local variables
2676 space and global environment variables space are
2677 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2678 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2679 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2680 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2681 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002682
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002683 Global environment variables are those you use
2684 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2685 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2686 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002687
2688 To store commands and special characters in a
2689 variable, please use double quotation marks
2690 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2691 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2692 symbols.
2693
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002694- Commandline Editing and History:
2695 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2696
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002697 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002698 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002699
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002700- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002701 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2702
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002703 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2704 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002705 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002706
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002707 For example, place something like this in your
2708 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002709
2710 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2711 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2712 "myvar2=value2\0"
2713
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002714 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2715 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2716 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2717 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002718 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002719 You better know what you are doing here.
2720
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002721 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2722 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002723 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002724 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002725
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002726 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2727
2728 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2729 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2730 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2731
2732 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2733
2734 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2735 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2736 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2737 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2738 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2739
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002740 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2741
2742 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2743 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2744 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2745
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002746 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2747
2748 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2749 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2750 that so that the environment is not available until
2751 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2752 this is instead controlled by the value of
2753 /config/load-environment.
2754
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002755- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002756 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2757
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002758 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2759 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2760 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002761
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002762- Serial Flash support
2763 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2764
2765 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2766 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2767
2768 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2769 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2770 commands.
2771
2772 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2773 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2774 flash is present on the system.
2775
2776 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2777 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2778 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2779 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2780
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002781 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2782
2783 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2784 test ('sf test').
2785
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302786 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2787
2788 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2789 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2790
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302791 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2792
2793 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2794 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2795 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2796
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002797- SystemACE Support:
2798 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2799
2800 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2801 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002802 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002803 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002804
2805 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002806 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002807
2808 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2809 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2810
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002811- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2812 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2813
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002814 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002815 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002816 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002817 number generator is used.
2818
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002819 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2820 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2821 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2822
2823 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002824 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2825 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2826 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2827 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2828 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2829 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2830
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002831- Hashing support:
2832 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2833
2834 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2835 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2836
2837 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2838
2839 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2840 size a little.
2841
2842 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2843 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2844
2845 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2846 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2847
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002848- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2849 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2850 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2851 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2852
2853 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2854 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2855 a boot from specific media.
2856
2857 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2858 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2859 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2860 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2861 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2862
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002863- Signing support:
2864 CONFIG_RSA
2865
2866 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002867 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002868
2869 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2870 option.
2871
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002872- bootcount support:
2873 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2874
2875 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2876 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2877
2878 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2879 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2880 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2881 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2882 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2883 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2884 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2885 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2886 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2887 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2888 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2889 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2890 the bootcounter.
2891 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002892
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002893- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002894 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2895
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002896 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2897 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2898 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2899 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2900 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2901 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002902
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002903- Detailed boot stage timing
2904 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2905 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2906 of the boot process.
2907
2908 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2909 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2910 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2911 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2912 the limit, recording will stop.
2913
2914 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2915 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2916
2917 Timer summary in microseconds:
2918 Mark Elapsed Stage
2919 0 0 reset
2920 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2921 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2922 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done

2925 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2926 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2927
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002928 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2929 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2930 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2931
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002932 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2933 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2934 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2935 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2936 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2937 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2938 For example:
2939
2940 bootstage {
2941 154 {
2942 name = "board_init_f";
2943 mark = <3575678>;
2944 };
2945 170 {
2946 name = "lcd";
2947 accum = <33482>;
2948 };
2949 };
2950
2951 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3136 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3137 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3138 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3139 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3140 configured panel size.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003412

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003425- Interrupt support (PPC):
3426
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003427 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3428 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003429 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003430 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003431 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003432 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003433 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003434 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3435 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3436 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003438- General:
3439
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003440 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3441 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3442 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003443 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003444 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3445 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3446 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003447
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003448 If there are no modem init strings in the
3449 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3450 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003451 suppressed, though.

3456------------------------------
3457
3458During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3459to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3460before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3461following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3462architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3463typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003521- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3522 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003523 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003524 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003525 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3526 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3527 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003528 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003530 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003531
3532 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3533 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3534 be touched.
3535
3536 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3537 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3538 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3539 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003567- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003568 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3569
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003570- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003571 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3572 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003573 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003574 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3575
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003576- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003577 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3578 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3580 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003581 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003582 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003583 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003584 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3585 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3586 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003587
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003588- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3589 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3590 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3591 is enabled.
3592
3593- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3594 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3595 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3596
3597- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3598 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3599 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3600
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003601- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003620 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3621 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3622
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003623- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003624
3625 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3626 without this option such a download has to be
3627 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3628 copy from RAM to flash.
3629
3630 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3631 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003632 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3633 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003634 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3635
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003636- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003637 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003638 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3639

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003644- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3645 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3646 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3647 to the MTD layer.
3648
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003649- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski96ef8312008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003650 Use buffered writes to flash.
3651

Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003657 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3658 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3659 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3660 optionally available.
3661
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003662- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3663 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3664 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3665 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3666
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003667- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3668 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3669 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3670 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3671 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3672 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3673 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3674 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3675
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003676- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003677 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3678 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003679 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3680 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003681 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003682 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

3685
Wolfgang Denk071bc922010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003686 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3687 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3688 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3689 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see

3693- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003694 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003695 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3696 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3697 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3698
3699 The format of the list is:
3700 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003701 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]

Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003703 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3704 list = entry[,list]
3705
3706 The type attributes are:
3707 s - String (default)
3708 d - Decimal
3709 x - Hexadecimal
3710 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3711 i - IP address
3712 m - MAC address
3713
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003714 The access attributes are:
3715 a - Any (default)
3716 r - Read-only
3717 o - Write-once
3718 c - Change-default
3719
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003720 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3721 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3722 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3723
3724 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3725 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3726 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3727 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3728 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3729 ".flags" variable.
3730
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003731- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3732 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3733 access flags.
3734
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003735- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3736 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3737 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3738 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3739 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3740 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3741 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3742 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3743 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3744
Simon Glass632efa72013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003745- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3746 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3747 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3748 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3749 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3750
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003751- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3752 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3753 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3754 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003756The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3757of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3758following configurations:
3759
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003760- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3761
3762 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3763 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3764
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003765- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003766
3767 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3768
3769 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3770 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3771 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3772 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3773 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3774 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3775 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3776 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3777 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3778 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3779 between U-Boot and the environment.
3780
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003781 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003782
3783 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3784 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3785 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3786 for this sector is given here.
3787
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003788 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003789
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003790 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003791
3792 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3793 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003794 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003795
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003796 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003797
3798 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3799
3800
3801 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3802 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3803 the environment.
3804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003805 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003806
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003807 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003808 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003809 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3810 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3811
3812 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3813 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3814 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3815 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3816 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3817 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3818 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3819 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3820 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3821
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003822 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3823 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003824
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003825 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003826 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003827 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003828 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003829
3830BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3831source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3832accordingly!
3833
3834
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003835- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003836
3837 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3838 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003843
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003844 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003845 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3846 can just be read and written to, without any special
3847 provision.
3848
3849BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3850in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003851console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003852U-Boot will hang.
3853
3854Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3855environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3856keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3857to save the current settings.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003860- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003861
3862 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3863 device and a driver for it.

3866 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003867
3868 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3869 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3870
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003871 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003872 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3873 The default address is zero.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003876 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3877 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3878 would require six bits.
3879
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003880 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003881 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003882 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003885 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3886 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3887
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003888 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003889 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3890 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3891 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3892 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3893 byte chips.
3894
3895 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3896 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3897 in the chip address.
3898
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003899 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003900 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3901
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003902 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3903 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3904 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3905
3906 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3907 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3908 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3909 EEPROM. For example:
3910
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003911 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003912
3913 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3914 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD057c8492008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003916- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003917
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003918 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003919 want to use for the environment.
3920

3923 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003924
3925 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3926 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3927 at the specified address.
3928
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003929- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3930
3931 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3932 want to use for the local device's environment.
3933
3934 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3935 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3936
3937 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3938 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3939 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003940 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003941
3942BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3943"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003944environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3945but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

3953 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003954
3955 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003956 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3957 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003958
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003959 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003960
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003961 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003962 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3963 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003964 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003965 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003966
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003967 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3968
3969 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3970 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3971 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3972 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3973 the range to be avoided.
3974
3975 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3976
3977 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3978 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3979 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3980 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3981 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003982
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003983- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3984
3985 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3986 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3987 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3988
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003989- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3990
3991 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3992 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3993 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3994
3995 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3996
3997 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3998
3999 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4000
4001 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4002 environment in.
4003
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004004 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4005
4006 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4007 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4008 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4009
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004010 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4011 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4012
4013 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4014 when storing the env in UBI.
4015
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004016- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4017
4018 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4019 environment.
4020
4021 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4022
4023 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4024
4025 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4026
4027 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4028 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4029 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4030
4031 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4032 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4033
4034 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4035 area within the specified MMC device.
4036
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004037 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4038 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4039 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4040 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4041 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4042 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4043 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4044
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004045 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4046 MMC sector boundary.
4047
4048 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4049
4050 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4051 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4052 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4053 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4054
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004055 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4056 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4057
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004058 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4059 an MMC sector boundary.
4060
4061 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4062
4063 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4064 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4065 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4066
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004067- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004068
4069 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4070 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4071 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4072 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4073 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4074 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4075 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4076
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004077Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004078has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004079created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004080until then to read environment variables.
4081
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004082The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4083is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4084with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4085necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4086"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4087have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004088
4089Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4090the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004091use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004092
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004093- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004095
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004096 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004097 also needs to be defined.
4098
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004099- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004102- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4103 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4104 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4105 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4106 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4107 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4108
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004109- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4110 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4111 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4112 to do this.
4113
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004114- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4115 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4116 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4117 present.

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004127
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004128 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004132- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4133 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4134 PowerPC SOCs.
4135
4136- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4137 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4138 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4139
4140 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4141 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4142
4143- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4144 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4145 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004146 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004147 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4148 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4149 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4150
4151 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4152 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)

4154- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004155 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4156 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004157 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4158 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4159
4160- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4161 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4162 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4163 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4164
4165- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4166 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4167 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004189 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004190 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4191 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4192 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4193 initializations.

Macpaul Lin0abddf82011-04-11 20:45:32 +00004195- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4196 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4197 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4198 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4199 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4200 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4201 is requierd.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004210 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4211 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4212 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4213 will become available only after programming the
4214 memory controller and running certain initialization
4215 sequences.

4224 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004225 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4226 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004227 data is located at the end of the available space
Wolfgang Denk553f0982010-10-26 13:32:32 +02004228 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004229 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4230 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4231 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004232
4233 Note:
4234 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4235 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004236 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004237 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4238 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004420 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004421 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4422
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004423 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004424 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4425
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004426 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004427 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004429- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004430 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004431 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4432 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4433 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004434
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004435 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4436 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4437 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4438 these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004439
Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004440- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004441 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4442 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4443 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk400558b2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004444
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004445- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4446 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4447 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4448 It is loaded by the SPL.
4449
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004450- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4451 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4452 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4453 previous 4k of the .text section.
4454
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004455- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4456 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4457 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4458 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4459 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4460 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4461 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4462 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4463
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004464- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4465 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4466 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4467 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4468 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4469
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004470- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4471 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4472 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004473
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004474- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4475 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4476
4477 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004478
Heiko Schocher16678eb2013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004479- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004482Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4483-----------------------------------
4484
4485The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4486loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4487This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4488are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4489within that device.
4490
4491- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4492 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4493 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4494 is also specified.
4495
4496- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4497 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4498 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4499 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4500 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4501
4502- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4503 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4504 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4505 virtual address in NOR flash.
4506
4507- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4508 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4509 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4510
4511- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4512 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4513 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4514
4515- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4516 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4517 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4518
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004519- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4520 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4521 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004522 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4523 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4524 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004526Building the Software:
4527======================
4528
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004529Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4530and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4531all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4532(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4533recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4534which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004535
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004536If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4537have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4538you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4539Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4540necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004541
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004542 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4543 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004544
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004545Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4546 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4547 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4548 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4549
4550 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4551
4552 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4553 be executed on computers running Windows.
4554
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004555U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4556sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004557is done by typing:
4558
4559 make NAME_config
4560
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004561where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004562rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004563
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004564Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4565 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4566 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4567 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004568 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004569
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004570 make TQM823L_config
4571 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004572
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004573 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4574 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004575
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004576 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004577
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004578
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004579Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4580images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004581
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004582- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4583- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4584- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004585
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004586By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4587in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4588this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4589
45901. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4591
4592 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4593 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4594 make O=/tmp/build all
4595
45962. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4597
4598 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4599 make distclean
4600 make NAME_config
4601 make all
4602
4603Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4604variable.
4605
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004606
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004607Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4608for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4609native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004610
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004611
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004612If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4613to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4614steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004615
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046161. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004617 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4618 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046192. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4620 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4621 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46223. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4623 your board
46243. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4625 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46264. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46275. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4628 to be installed on your target system.
46296. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4630 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004631
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004632
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004633Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4634==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004635
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004636If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4637or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004638provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4639the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004640official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004641
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004642But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4643cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004644the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4645just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004646for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4647select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4648environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4649you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004650
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004651 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004652
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004653or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004654
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004655 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004656
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004657When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4658U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4659setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4660built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4661<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4662location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4663variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004664
4665 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4666 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4667 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4668
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004669With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4670log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4671during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004734Environment Variables:
4735======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004736
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004737U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4738can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004739
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004740Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4741"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4742without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4743environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4744working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4745environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004747Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4748
4749List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004750
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004751 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004752
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004753 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004754
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004755 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004756
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004757 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004758
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004759 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004760
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004761 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4762 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4763 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4764 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4765 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4766 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004767 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4768 bootm_mapsize.
4769
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004770 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004771 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4772 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4773 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4774 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4775 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4776 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004777
4778 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4779 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4780 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4781 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4782 environment variable.
4783
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004784 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4785 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4786 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4787
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004788 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4789 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4790 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4791 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004792
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004793 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4794 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4795 be automatically started (by internally calling
4796 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004797
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004798 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4799 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4800 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4801 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4802 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004803
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004804 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4805 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004806 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4807 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4808 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4809 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4810 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4811 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4812 access it during the boot procedure.
4813
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004814 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4815 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4816 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4817 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4818 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4819 must be accessible by the kernel.
4820
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004821 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4822 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4823 defined.
4824
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004825 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4826 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4827 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4828 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4829 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4830
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004831 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4832 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4833 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4834 is usually what you want since it allows for
4835 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4836 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004837 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004838 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4839 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4840 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4841 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004842
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004843 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4844 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4845 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4846 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4847 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4848 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004849
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004850 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004851
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004852 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4853 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4854 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4855 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4856 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4857 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4858 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004859
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004860 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenk38b99262003-05-23 23:18:21 +00004868
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004869 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004870

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004872
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004873 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004874
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004875 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004876
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004877 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4878 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004879
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004880 => setenv ethact FEC
4881 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4882 => setenv ethact SCC
4883 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004884
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004885 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4886 available network interfaces.
4887 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4888
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004889 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004890 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4891 When set to "once" the network operation will
4892 fail when all the available network interfaces
4893 are tried once without success.
4894 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4895 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004896
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004897 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004898
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004899 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4900 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4901 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4902 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4903 is silent.
4904
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004905 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004906 UDP source port.
4907
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004908 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4909 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4910
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004911 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4912 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4913
4914 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4915 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4916 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4917 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4918 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4919 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4920 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4921
4922 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004923 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004924 VLAN tagged frames.

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004926The following image location variables contain the location of images
4927used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4928not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4929variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4930server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4931loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4932flash or offset in NAND flash.
4933
4934*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4935boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4936boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004945The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4946updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4947depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004948
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004949 bootfile - see above
4950 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4951 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4952 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4953 hostname - Target hostname
4954 ipaddr - see above
4955 netmask - Subnet Mask
4956 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4957 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004958
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004959
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004960There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004961
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004962 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4963 as type string and/or serial number
4964 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004965
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004966These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4967the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4968once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004969
4970
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004971Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004972
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004973 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4974 with the "version" command. This variable is
4975 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004976
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004977
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004978Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4979only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004982Callback functions for environment variables:
4983---------------------------------------------
4984
4985For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4986when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4987be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4988deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4989effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4990
4991The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4992U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4993
4994These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4995static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4996in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4997associations. The list must be in the following format:
4998
4999 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5000 list = entry[,list]
5001
5002If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5003Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5004
5005Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5006with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5007override any association in the static list. You can define
5008CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5009".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5010

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012Command Line Parsing:
5013=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005014
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5016the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005017
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005018Old, simple command line parser:
5019--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005020
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005021- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5022- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005023- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005024- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5025 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005026 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005027- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5028 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005029
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005030Hush shell:
5031-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005032
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005033- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5034 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5035 until...do...done, ...
5036- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5037 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5038 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5039 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005040
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041General rules:
5042--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005043
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005044(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5045 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5046 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5047 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005048
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005049(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005050 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005051 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5052 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005054Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5055=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005056
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005057Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5059"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005060
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005061Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5062MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5063"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005064
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005065If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5066in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5067ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5068variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005069
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005070o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5071 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005072
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005073o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5074 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5075 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005076
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005077o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5078 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005079
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005080o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5081 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5082 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005083
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005084o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5085 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005086
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005087If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005088will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005089may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5090The naming convention is as follows:
5091"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005092
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005093Image Formats:
5094==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005095
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005096U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5097images in two formats:
5098
5099New uImage format (FIT)
5100-----------------------
5101
5102Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5103to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5104components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5105SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5106
5107
5108Old uImage format
5109-----------------
5110
5111Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5112preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5113details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005114
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005115* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5130and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5131CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005132
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005133
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005134Linux Support:
5135==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005136
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005137Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5138easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5139U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005140
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005141U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5142special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5143"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5144instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5145serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005146
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005147- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5148 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5149 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005150
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005151- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5152 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005153
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005154- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5155 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5156 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5157 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5158 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5159 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005160
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005161
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005162Linux HOWTO:
5163============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005164
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005165Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5166---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005167
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005168U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5169configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5170(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5171Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005172
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005173But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005174
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005175Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5176include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005177Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5178and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005179as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005180
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005181
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005182Configuring the Linux kernel:
5183-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005184
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005185No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5186device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005187
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005188
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005189Building a Linux Image:
5190-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005191
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005192With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5193not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5194"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5195U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5196which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5197100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005198
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005199Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005200
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005201 make TQM850L_config
5202 make oldconfig
5203 make dep
5204 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005205
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005206The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5207encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5208CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005209
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005210* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005211
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005212* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005213
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005214 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5215 -R .note -R .comment \
5216 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005217
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005218* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005219
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005220 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005221
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005222* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005223
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005224 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5225 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5226 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005227
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005228
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005229The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5230with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5231combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5232byte header containing information about target architecture,
5233operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5234stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005235
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5237print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005238
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005239In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5240contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5241checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005242
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005243 tools/mkimage -l image
5244 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005245
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005246The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5247from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005248
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005249 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5250 -n name -d data_file image
5251 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5252 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5253 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5254 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5255 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5256 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5257 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5258 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005259
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005260Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5261address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5262kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005263
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005264- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5265- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005266
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005267So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:

5291speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5292needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5293need to be uncompressed:

5322option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5323option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5324from the image:
5325
5326 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331Installing a Linux Image:
5332-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005333
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005334To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5335you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005336
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005337 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005338
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005339The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5340image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5341address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5342specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5343command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005511More About U-Boot Image Types:
5512------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005513
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005514U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005515
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005516 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5517 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5518 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5519 the Standalone Program.
5520 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5521 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5522 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5523 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5524 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5525 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5526 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5527 being started.
5528 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5529 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5530 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5531 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5532 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5533 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005534
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005535 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5536 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5537 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5538 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5539 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5540 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005541
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005542 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5543 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5544 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005545
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005546 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5547 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5548 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5549 as command interpreter.

5555using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5556as the syntax of "bootm" command.

Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005559kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5560address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5561format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005567One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5568run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5569U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005570
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005571Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005576'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5577application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5578It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5579like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5606handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5607Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5608The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5609character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5610controlled by the following keys:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005675
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005676Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5677(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005678
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005679Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5680NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5681need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5682Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5683attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5684missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005685
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005686 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5687 # mkdir powerpc
5688 # ln -s powerpc machine
5689 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5690 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005691
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005692Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5693and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005694
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005695Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5696stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5697proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5698tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5703=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005704
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005705The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5706implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5707inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5708hardware.

5712---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005713
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005714The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5715starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5716system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5717This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5718is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5719at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5720options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5721models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5722MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5723locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005724
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005725 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005733 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5734 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5735 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5736 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5737 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005738 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005739 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5740 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005741
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005742 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5743 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005744 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005745 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5746 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5747 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5748 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005749
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005750 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005751 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5752 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005753 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005754 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5755 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5756 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5757 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5758 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005763It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5764code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005765
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005766* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5767 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005768
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005769* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005770 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5771 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005772
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005773* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5774 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005775
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005776Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5777normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5778turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5779simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5780functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5781functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5782the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5783place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5784reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005785
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005786When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5787relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5788GCC's implementation.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005790For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005793 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5794 R5-R10: parameter passing
5795 R13: small data area pointer
5796 R30: GOT pointer
5797 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005799 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5800 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5801 going back and forth between asm and C)

Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005803 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005804
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005805 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5806 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5807 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5808 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5809 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5810 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005858Memory Management:
5859------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005860
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005861U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5862MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005863
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005864The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5865controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5866memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5867physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005868
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005869U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5870TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5871booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5872to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005873memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005874configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5875Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005876
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005877Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5878of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005879
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005880So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5881this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005882
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005883 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

5896 0x00FD FFFF
5897 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code

5900 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

5902
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005903System Initialization:
5904----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005905
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005906In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005907(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005908configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5909To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5910To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5911initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5912which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5913part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5914the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005915
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005916Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5917preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5918(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5919on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5920programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5921simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5922banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005923
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005924When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5925different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5926bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59270x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5928contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005929
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005930Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5931and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5932Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5933pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005934
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005935Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5936until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5937running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5938new address in RAM.

6016-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006017
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006018All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006019coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006020"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006021
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006022Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6023MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6024reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6025sources.
6026
6027Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6028Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6029in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006030
6031Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6032- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006033- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006034- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006035- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006036- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6037
6038Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned

6053
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006054When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6055it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006056
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006057* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6058 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6059 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006060
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006061* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6062 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006063
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006064* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6065
6066* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6067
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006068* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6069 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006070
6071* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6072 document these in the README file.
6073
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006074* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6075 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006076 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006077 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6078 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006079
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006080 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6081 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6082 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006083
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006084 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6085 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6086 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6087 affected files).
6088
6089 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6090 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006091
6092* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6093 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6094
6095* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6096 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6097
6098
6099Notes:
6100
6101* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6102 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6103 for any of the boards.
6104
6105* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6106 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6107 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6108
6109* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6110 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6111 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6112 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6113 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6114 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006115
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006116* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6117 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6118 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6119 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
