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.

30Status:
31=======

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 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
260 make TQM823L_config
261
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
267Configuration Options:
268----------------------
269
270Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
271such information is kept in a configuration file
272"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
273
274Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
275"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
276
277
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000278Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
279kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
280build a config tool - later.
281
282
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000283The following options need to be configured:
284

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000590 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
591
592 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
593 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
594 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
595 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
596 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
597 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
598 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000599 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100600 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

641
642 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
643 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
644 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
645 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
646 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
647 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000721- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000722 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
723 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
724 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
725 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000726
727 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
728 port routines must be defined elsewhere
729 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000770 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
771 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
772 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
773
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000774 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
775 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
776 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000777
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000778 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
779 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
780 the "silent" environment variable. See
781 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000782
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200783 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
784 is 0x00.
785 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
786 is 0xa0.
787
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000788- Console Baudrate:
789 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
790 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200791 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
792 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000793
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100794- Console Rx buffer length
795 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
796 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100797 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100798 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
799 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
800 the SMC.
801
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000802- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200803 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
804 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
805 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
806 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
807 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
808 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
809 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200810 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200811 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000812
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200813 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
814 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000815
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000816- Safe printf() functions
817 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
818 the printf() functions. These are defined in
819 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
820 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
821 If this option is not given then these functions will
822 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
823 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
824
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000825- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
826 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
827 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000828 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
829 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000830
831 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
832 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
833 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
834 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
835 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
836 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
837 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
838 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
839 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
840 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
841 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
842 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
843
844- Autoboot Command:
845 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
846 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
847 define a command string that is automatically executed
848 when no character is read on the console interface
849 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
850
851 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000852 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
853 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
854 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000855
856 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000857 The value of these goes into the environment as
858 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
859 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200860 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000861
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100862- Bootcount:
863 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
864 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
865 cycle, see:
866 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
867
868 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
869 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
870 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
871 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
872 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
873 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
874 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
875 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
876 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
877
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000878- Pre-Boot Commands:
879 CONFIG_PREBOOT
880
881 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
882 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
883 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
884 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
885 entering interactive mode.
886
887 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
888 automatically generated or modified. For an example
889 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
890 modified when the user holds down a certain
891 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
892 booting the systems
893
894- Serial Download Echo Mode:
895 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
896 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
897 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
898 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
899 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
900 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
901 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
902
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500903- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000904 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
905 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200906 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000907
908- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500909 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
910 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000911 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
912 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500913 and augmenting with additional #define's
914 for wanted commands.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001035 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1036 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1037 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1038 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1039 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1040 initial stack and some data.

1043 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1044
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001045- Regular expression support:
1046 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001047 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1048 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1049 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1050 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001051
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001052- Device tree:
1053 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1054 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1055 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1056 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1057 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1058 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1059
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001060 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1061 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001062
1063 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1064 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1065 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1066 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1067 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1068 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001069
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001070 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1071 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1072 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1073 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1074
1075 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1076
1077 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1078 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1079 still use the individual files if you need something more
1080 exotic.
1081
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001082- Watchdog:
1083 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1084 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001085 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1086 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1087 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1088 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1089 available, then no further board specific code should
1090 be needed to use it.
1091
1092 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1093 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1094 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1095 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001096
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001097- U-Boot Version:
1098 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1099 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1100 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1101 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001102 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1103 next reset.

1123 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001124
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001125 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1126 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1127
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001128- GPIO Support:
1129 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001130
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001131 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1132 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1133 pins supported by a particular chip.
1134
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001135 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1136 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1137
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001138- Timestamp Support:
1139
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001140 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1141 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1142 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001143 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001144
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001145- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001158 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001159
1160- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001161 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1162 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001163
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001164 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1165 be performed by calling the function
1166 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1167 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001168

1472 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1473 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1474 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1475 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1476 viewport is supported.
1477 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1478 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001479 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1480 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1481 the appropriate value in Hz.

1524 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1525 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1526 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1527
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001528 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1529 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1530 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1531 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1532 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1533 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1534
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001535 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT

Wolfgang Denk04e5ae72011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001637 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001638 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1639 support, and should also define these other macros:

Timur Tabiba8e76b2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001650 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1651 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1652 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1653 description of this variable.

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001722 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1723
1724 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1725 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1726 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1727 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1728 a per-section basis.
1729
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001730 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1731
1732 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1733 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1734 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1735 is slow.

1744 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1745
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001746- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001747
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001748 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1749 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1750 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001751 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001752 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1753 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1754 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1755 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001756
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001757 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1758
1759 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1760 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001761 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001762 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1763 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1764 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1765 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1766 there is no need to set this option.
1767
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001768 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1769
1770 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1771 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1772 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1773 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1774 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1775 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1776
1777 Example:
1778 setenv splashpos m,m
1779 => image at center of screen
1780
1781 setenv splashpos 30,20
1782 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1783
1784 setenv splashpos -10,m
1785 => vertically centered image
1786 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1787
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001788- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1789
1790 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1791 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1792 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1793
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001794- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1795
1796 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1797 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1798 bmp command.
1799
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001800- Do compresssing for memory range:
1801 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1802
1803 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1804 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1805
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001806- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001807 CONFIG_GZIP
1808
1809 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1810
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001811 CONFIG_BZIP2
1812
1813 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1814 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1815 compressed images are supported.
1816
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001817 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001818 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001819 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001820
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001821 CONFIG_LZMA
1822
1823 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1824 images is included.
1825
1826 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1827 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1828 formula:
1829
1830 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1831
1832 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1833 and Literal pos bits.
1834
1835 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1836 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1837 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1838 a very small buffer.
1839
1840 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1841 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001842 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001843
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001844 CONFIG_LZO
1845
1846 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1847 is included.
1848
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001849- MII/PHY support:
1850 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1851
1852 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1853
1854 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1855
1856 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1857
1858 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1859
1860 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001861 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001862
1863 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1864
1865 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1866 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1867 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1868 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1869
1870 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1871
1872 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1873 command issued before MII status register can be read

1905 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1906
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001907- Gateway IP address:
1908 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1909
1910 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1911 default router where packets to other networks are
1912 sent to.
1913 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1914
1915- Subnet mask:
1916 CONFIG_NETMASK
1917
1918 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1919 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1920 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1921 forwarded through a router.
1922 (Environment variable "netmask")
1923
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001924- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1925 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1926
1927 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1928 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001929 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001930 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1931 multicast group.
1932
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001933- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1934 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1935
1936 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1937 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1938 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1939 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1940 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1941 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1942 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1943 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001944 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001945
1946 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1947 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

1974 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1975 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1976 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1977 is not available.

1981 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1982 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1983 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1984 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1985 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001986 is defined.

1988 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1989 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1990 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001991 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001992 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1993 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001995 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1996
1997 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1998 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1999 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2000 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2001 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2002 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2003 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2004 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2005 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2006 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2007 this delay.

2010 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2011 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2012 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2013 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002059- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2060
2061 Several configurations allow to display the current
2062 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2063 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2064 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2065 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2066 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2067 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2068 feature in U-Boot.
2069
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002070 Additional options:
2071
2072 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2073 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2074 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2075 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2076 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2077
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002078 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2079 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2080 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2081 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2082 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2083 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002253
2254 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2255 provides the following compelling advantages:
2256
2257 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2258 - approved multibus support
2259 - better i2c mux support
2260
2261 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2262
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002263 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2264 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2265 for the selected CPU.

wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002275 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002276 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002277
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002278 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002279 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002280 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002281 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002282
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002283 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002284 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002285 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2286 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2287 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.

2291 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2292 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2293 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2294 commands until the slave device responds.
2295
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002296 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002299 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2300 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002301
2302 I2C_INIT
2303
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002304 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002305 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002306
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002307 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002308
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002309 I2C_PORT
2310
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002311 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2312 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2313 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002314
2315 I2C_ACTIVE
2316
2317 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2318 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2319 define can be null.
2320
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002321 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2322
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002323 I2C_TRISTATE
2324
2325 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2326 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2327 define can be null.
2328
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002329 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2330
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002331 I2C_READ
2332
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002333 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2334 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002335
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002336 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2337
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002338 I2C_SDA(bit)
2339
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002340 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2341 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002342
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002343 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002344 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002345 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002346
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002347 I2C_SCL(bit)
2348
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002349 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2350 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002351
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002352 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002353 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002354 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002355
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002356 I2C_DELAY
2357
2358 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2359 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002360 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002361 like:
2362
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002363 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002364
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002365 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2366
2367 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2368 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2369 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2370 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2371
2372 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2373 the generic GPIO functions.
2374
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002375 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002376
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002377 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2378 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2379 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2380 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2381 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2382 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2383 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2384 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002385
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002386 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2387
2388 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2389 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2390 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2391 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2392 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2393 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2394 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2395 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2396
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002397 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2398
2399 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2400 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2401 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2402
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002403 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2404
2405 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002406 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2407 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002408 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2409
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002410 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002411
2412 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002413 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002414 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2415 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002416
2417 e.g.
2418 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002419 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002420
2421 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2422
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002423 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002424 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002425
2426 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2427
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002428 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002429
2430 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2431 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2432
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002433 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002434
2435 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2436 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2437
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002438 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002439
2440 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2441 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2442
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002443 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002444
2445 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2446 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2447 specified DTT device.
2448
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002449 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2450
2451 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2452 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2453 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2454 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2455 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2456 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2457 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002477 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2478 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2479 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2480 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2481 defined, the board configuration must define several
2482 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2483 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002484

2581 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2582 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002583 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002584 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2585 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2586 read-only.]
2587
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002588 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2589 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2590 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2591 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2592
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002593- Protected RAM:
2594 CONFIG_PRAM
2595
2596 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2597 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2598 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2599 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2600 this default value by defining an environment
2601 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2602 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2603 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2604 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2605 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2606 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2607 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2608
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002609 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002610 saveenv
2611
2612 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2613 either, which results in a memory region that will
2614 not be affected by reboots.
2615
2616 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2617 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2618 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2619 following board configurations are known to be
2620 "pRAM-clean":
2621
Wolfgang Denk1b0757e2012-10-24 02:36:15 +00002622 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002625
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002626- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2627 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2628 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2629 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2630 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2631 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2632 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2633
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002634- Error Recovery:
2635 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2636
2637 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2638 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2639 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002640 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002641 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2642 useful during development since you can try to debug
2643 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2644
2645 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2646
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002647 This variable defines the number of retries for
2648 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2649 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2650 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002651
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002652 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2653
2654 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2655
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002656 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2657
2658 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2659 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2660 try longer timeout such as
2661 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2662
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002663- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002664 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002665
2666 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2667
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002668 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2669 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002670
2671
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002672 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002673
2674 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2675 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2676 powerful command line syntax like
2677 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2678 constructs ("shell scripts").
2679
2680 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2681 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2682
2683
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002684 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002685
2686 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2687 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2688 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2689
2690 Note:
2691
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002692 In the current implementation, the local variables
2693 space and global environment variables space are
2694 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2695 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2696 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2697 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2698 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002699
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002700 Global environment variables are those you use
2701 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2702 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2703 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002704
2705 To store commands and special characters in a
2706 variable, please use double quotation marks
2707 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2708 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2709 symbols.
2710
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002711- Commandline Editing and History:
2712 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2713
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002714 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002715 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002716
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002717- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002718 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2719
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002720 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2721 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002722 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002723
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002724 For example, place something like this in your
2725 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002726
2727 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2728 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2729 "myvar2=value2\0"
2730
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002731 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2732 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2733 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2734 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002735 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002736 You better know what you are doing here.
2737
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002738 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2739 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002740 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002741 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002742
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002743 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2744
2745 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2746 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2747 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2748
2749 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2750
2751 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2752 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2753 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2754 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2755 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2756
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002757 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2758
2759 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2760 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2761 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2762
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002763 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2764
2765 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2766 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2767 that so that the environment is not available until
2768 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2769 this is instead controlled by the value of
2770 /config/load-environment.
2771
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002772- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002773 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2774
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002775 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2776 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2777 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002778
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002779- Serial Flash support
2780 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2781
2782 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2783 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2784
2785 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2786 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2787 commands.
2788
2789 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2790 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2791 flash is present on the system.
2792
2793 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2794 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2795 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2796 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2797
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002798 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2799
2800 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2801 test ('sf test').
2802
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302803 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2804
2805 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2806 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2807
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302808 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2809
2810 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2811 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2812 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2813
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002814- SystemACE Support:
2815 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2816
2817 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2818 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002819 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002820 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002821
2822 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002823 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002824
2825 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2826 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2827
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002828- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2829 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2830
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002831 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002832 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002833 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002834 number generator is used.
2835
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002836 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2837 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2838 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2839
2840 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002841 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2842 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2843 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2844 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2845 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2846 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2847
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002848- Hashing support:
2849 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2850
2851 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2852 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2853
2854 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2855
2856 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2857 size a little.
2858
2859 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2860 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2861
2862 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2863 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2864
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002865- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2866 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2867 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2868 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2869
2870 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2871 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2872 a boot from specific media.
2873
2874 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2875 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2876 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2877 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2878 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2879
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002880- Signing support:
2881 CONFIG_RSA
2882
2883 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002884 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002885
2886 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2887 option.
2888
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002889- bootcount support:
2890 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2891
2892 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2893 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2894
2895 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2896 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2897 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2898 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2899 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2900 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2901 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2902 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2903 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2904 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2905 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2906 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2907 the bootcounter.
2908 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002909
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002910- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002911 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2912
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002913 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2914 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2915 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2916 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2917 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2918 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002919
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002920- Detailed boot stage timing
2921 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2922 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2923 of the boot process.
2924
2925 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2926 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2927 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2928 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2929 the limit, recording will stop.
2930
2931 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2932 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2933
2934 Timer summary in microseconds:
2935 Mark Elapsed Stage
2936 0 0 reset
2937 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2938 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2939 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2940 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2941 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2942 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2943 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2944
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002945 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2946 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2947 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2948
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002949 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2950 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2951 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2952 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2953 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2954 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2955 For example:
2956
2957 bootstage {
2958 154 {
2959 name = "board_init_f";
2960 mark = <3575678>;
2961 };
2962 170 {
2963 name = "lcd";
2964 accum = <33482>;
2965 };
2966 };
2967
2968 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003425Modem Support:
3426--------------
3427
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003428[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003429

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003439 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3440 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003442- Interrupt support (PPC):
3443
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003444 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3445 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003446 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003447 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003448 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003449 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003450 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003451 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3452 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3453 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003455- General:
3456
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003457 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3458 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3459 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003460 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003461 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3462 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3463 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003464
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003465 If there are no modem init strings in the
3466 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3467 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003468 suppressed, though.

3473------------------------------
3474
3475During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3476to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3477before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3478following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3479architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3480typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003543 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003544 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003545 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3546 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3547 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003548 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003550 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003551
3552 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3553 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3554 be touched.
3555
3556 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3557 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3558 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3559 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3560 problems.

3645 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3646 without this option such a download has to be
3647 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3648 copy from RAM to flash.
3649
3650 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3651 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003652 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3653 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003697 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3698 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003699 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3700 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003701 on high Ethernet traffic.

Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003755- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3756 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3757 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3758 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3759 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3760 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3761 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3762 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3763 your board please report the problem and send patches!

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003770The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3771of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3772following configurations:
3773
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003774- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3775
3776 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3777 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3778
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003779- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003780
3781 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3782
3783 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3784 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3785 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3786 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3787 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3788 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3789 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3790 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3791 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3792 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3793 between U-Boot and the environment.
3794
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003795 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003796
3797 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3798 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3799 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3800 for this sector is given here.
3801
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003802 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003804 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003805
3806 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3807 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003808 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003809
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003810 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003811
3812 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3813
3814
3815 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3816 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3817 the environment.
3818
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003819 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003820
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003821 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003822 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003823 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3824 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3825
3826 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3827 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3828 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3829 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3830 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3831 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3832 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3833 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3834 RAM, your target system will be dead.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003840 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003841 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003842 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003843
3844BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3845source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3846accordingly!

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003849- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003850
3851 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3852 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3853 environment.
3854
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003855 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3856 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003857
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003858 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003859 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3860 can just be read and written to, without any special
3861 provision.
3862
3863BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3864in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003865console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003866U-Boot will hang.
3867
3868Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3869environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3870keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3871to save the current settings.
3872
3873
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003874- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003875
3876 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3877 device and a driver for it.
3878
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003879 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3880 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003881
3882 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3883 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3884
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003885 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003886 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3887 The default address is zero.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003889 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003890 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3891 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3892 would require six bits.
3893
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003894 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003895 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003896 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003898 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003899 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3900 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3901
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003902 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003903 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3904 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3905 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3906 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3907 byte chips.
3908
3909 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3910 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3911 in the chip address.
3912
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003913 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003914 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3915
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003916 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3917 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3918 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3919
3920 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3921 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3922 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3923 EEPROM. For example:
3924
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003925 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003926
3927 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3928 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003929
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD057c8492008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003930- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003931
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003932 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003933 want to use for the environment.
3934
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003935 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3936 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3937 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003938
3939 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3940 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3941 at the specified address.
3942
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003943- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3944
3945 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3946 want to use for the local device's environment.
3947
3948 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3949 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3950
3951 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3952 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3953 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003954 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003955
3956BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3957"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003958environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3959but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003960
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003961- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003962
3963 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3964 for the environment.
3965
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003966 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3967 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003968
3969 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003970 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3971 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003972
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003973 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003974
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003975 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003976 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3977 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003978 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003979 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003980
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003981 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3982
3983 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3984 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3985 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3986 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3987 the range to be avoided.
3988
3989 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3990
3991 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3992 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3993 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3994 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3995 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003996
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003997- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3998
3999 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4000 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4001 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4002
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004003- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4004
4005 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4006 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4007 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4008
4009 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4010
4011 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4012
4013 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4014
4015 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4016 environment in.
4017
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004018 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4019
4020 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4021 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4022 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4023
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004024 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4025 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4026
4027 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4028 when storing the env in UBI.
4029
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004030- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4031
4032 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4033 environment.
4034
4035 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4036
4037 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4038
4039 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4040
4041 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4042 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4043 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4044
4045 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4046 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4047
4048 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4049 area within the specified MMC device.
4050
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004051 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4052 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4053 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4054 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4055 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4056 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4057 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4058
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004059 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4060 MMC sector boundary.
4061
4062 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4063
4064 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4065 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4066 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4067 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4068
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004069 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4070 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4071
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004072 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4073 an MMC sector boundary.
4074
4075 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4076
4077 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4078 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4079 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4080
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004081- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004082
4083 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4084 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4085 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4086 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4087 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4088 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4089 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4090
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004091Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004092has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004093created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004094until then to read environment variables.
4095
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004096The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4097is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4098with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4099necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4100"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4101have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004102
4103Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4104the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004105use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004110 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004111 also needs to be defined.
4112
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004113- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004116- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4117 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4118 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4119 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4120 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4121 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4122
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004123- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4124 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4125 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4126 to do this.
4127
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004128- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4129 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4130 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4131 present.

4147 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4148 PowerPC SOCs.
4149
4150- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4151 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4152 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4153
4154 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4155 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4156
4157- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4158 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4159 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004160 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004161 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4162 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4163 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4164
4165 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4166 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4167
4168- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004169 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4170 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004171 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4172 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4173
4174- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4175 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4176 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4177 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4178
4179- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4180 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4181 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4211 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4212 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4213 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4214 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4215 is requierd.

4247 Note:
4248 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004250 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must

4252 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4408 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4409
4410- CONFIG_RMII
4411 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4412 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4413 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4414
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004415- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4416 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4417 The syntax is:
4418
4419 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4420
4421 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4422 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4423 area should have.
4424
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004425- CONFIG_LOOPW
4426 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004427 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004428
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004429- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4430 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4431 "md/mw" commands.
4432 Examples:
4433
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004434 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004435 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4436
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004437 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004438 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4439
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004440 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004441 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004442
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004443- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004444 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004445 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4446 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4447 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004448
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004449 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4450 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4451 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4452 these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004453
Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004454- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004455 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4456 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4457 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk400558b2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004458
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004459- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4460 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4461 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4462 It is loaded by the SPL.
4463
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004464- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4465 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4466 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4467 previous 4k of the .text section.
4468
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004469- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4470 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4471 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4472 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4473 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4474 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4475 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4476 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4477
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004478- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4479 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4480 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4481 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4482 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4483
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004484- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4485 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4486 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004487
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004488- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4489 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4490
4491 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004492
Heiko Schocher16678eb2013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004493- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4494 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4495
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004496Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4497-----------------------------------
4498
4499The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4500loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4501This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4502are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4503within that device.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4506 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4507 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4508 is also specified.
4509
4510- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4511 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4512 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4513 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4514 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4515
4516- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4517 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4518 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4519 virtual address in NOR flash.
4520
4521- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4522 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4523 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4524
4525- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4526 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4527 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4528
4529- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4530 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4531 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4532
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004533- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4534 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4535 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004536 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4537 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4538 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004540Building the Software:
4541======================
4542
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004543Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4544and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4545all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4546(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4547recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4548which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004549
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004550If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4551have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4552you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4553Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4554necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004555
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004556 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4557 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004558
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004559Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4560 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4561 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4562 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4563
4564 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4565
4566 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4567 be executed on computers running Windows.
4568
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004569U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4570sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004571is done by typing:
4572
4573 make NAME_config
4574
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004575where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004576rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004577
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004578Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4579 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4580 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4581 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004582 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004583
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004584 make TQM823L_config
4585 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004586
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004587 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4588 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004589
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004590 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004591
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004592
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004593Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4594images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004595
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004596- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4597- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4598- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004599
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004600By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4601in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4602this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4603
46041. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4605
4606 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4607 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4608 make O=/tmp/build all
4609
46102. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4611
4612 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4613 make distclean
4614 make NAME_config
4615 make all
4616
4617Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4618variable.
4619
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004620
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004621Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4622for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4623native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004624
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004625
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004626If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4627to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4628steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004629
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046301. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004631 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4632 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046332. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4634 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4635 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46363. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4637 your board
46383. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4639 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46404. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46415. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4642 to be installed on your target system.
46436. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4644 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004645
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004646
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004647Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4648==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004649
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004650If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4651or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004652provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4653the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004654official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004655
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004656But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4657cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004658the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4659just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004660for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4661select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4662environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4663you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004664
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004665 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004666
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004667or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004668
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004669 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004670
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004671When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4672U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4673setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4674built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4675<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4676location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4677variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004678
4679 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4680 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4681 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4682
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004683With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4684log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4685during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004748Environment Variables:
4749======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004750
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004751U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4752can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004753
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004754Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4755"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4756without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4757environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4758working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4759environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004760
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004761Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4762
4763List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004764
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004765 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004766
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004767 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004768
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004769 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004770
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004771 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004772
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004773 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004774
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004775 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4776 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4777 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4778 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4779 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4780 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004781 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4782 bootm_mapsize.
4783
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004784 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004785 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4786 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4787 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4788 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4789 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4790 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004791
4792 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4793 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4794 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4795 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4796 environment variable.
4797
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004798 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4799 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4800 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4801
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004802 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4803 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4804 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4805 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004806
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004807 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4808 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4809 be automatically started (by internally calling
4810 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004811
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004812 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4813 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4814 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4815 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4816 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004817
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004818 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4819 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004820 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4821 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4822 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4823 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4824 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4825 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4826 access it during the boot procedure.
4827
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004828 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4829 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4830 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4831 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4832 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4833 must be accessible by the kernel.
4834
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004835 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4836 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4837 defined.
4838
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004839 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4840 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4841 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4842 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4843 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4844
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004845 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4846 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4847 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4848 is usually what you want since it allows for
4849 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4850 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004851 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004852 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4853 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4854 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4855 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004856
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004857 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4858 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4859 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4860 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4861 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4862 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004863
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004864 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004865
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004866 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4867 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4868 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4869 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4870 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4871 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4872 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004873
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004874 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004888
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004889 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004890
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004891 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4892 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004893
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004894 => setenv ethact FEC
4895 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4896 => setenv ethact SCC
4897 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004898
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004899 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4900 available network interfaces.
4901 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4902
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004903 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004904 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4905 When set to "once" the network operation will
4906 fail when all the available network interfaces
4907 are tried once without success.
4908 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4909 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004910
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004911 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004912
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004913 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4914 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4915 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4916 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4917 is silent.
4918
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004919 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004920 UDP source port.
4921
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004922 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4923 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4924
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004925 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4926 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4927
4928 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4929 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4930 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4931 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4932 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4933 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4934 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4935
4936 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004937 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004938 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004939
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004940The following image location variables contain the location of images
4941used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4942not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4943variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4944server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4945loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4946flash or offset in NAND flash.
4947
4948*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4949boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4950boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4960updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4961depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004962
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963 bootfile - see above
4964 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4965 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4966 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4967 hostname - Target hostname
4968 ipaddr - see above
4969 netmask - Subnet Mask
4970 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4971 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004972

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004974There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004975
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004976 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4977 as type string and/or serial number
4978 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004979
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004980These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4981the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4982once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004983
4984
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004985Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004986
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004987 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4988 with the "version" command. This variable is
4989 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004996Callback functions for environment variables:
4997---------------------------------------------
4998
4999For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5000when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5001be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5002deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5003effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5004
5005The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5006U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5007
5008These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5009static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5010in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5011associations. The list must be in the following format:
5012
5013 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5014 list = entry[,list]
5015
5016If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5017Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5018
5019Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5020with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5021override any association in the static list. You can define
5022CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5023".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005029There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5030the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005032Old, simple command line parser:
5033--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005034
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005035- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5036- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005037- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005038- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5039 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005040 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5042 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005043

5045-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005046
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005047- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5048 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5049 until...do...done, ...
5050- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5051 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5052 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5053 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005054
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005055General rules:
5056--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005057
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005058(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5059 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5060 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5061 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005062
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005063(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005064 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005065 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5066 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005068Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5069=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005070
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005071Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005072such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5073"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005074
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005075Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5076MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5077"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005078
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005079If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5080in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5081ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5082variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005083
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005084o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5085 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005086
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005087o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5088 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5089 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005090
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005091o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5092 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005093
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005094o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5095 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5096 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005097
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005098o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5099 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005100
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005101If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005102will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005103may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5104The naming convention is as follows:
5105"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005106
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005107Image Formats:
5108==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005109
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005110U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5111images in two formats:
5112
5113New uImage format (FIT)
5114-----------------------
5115
5116Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5117to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5118components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5119SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5120
5121
5122Old uImage format
5123-----------------
5124
5125Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5126preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5127details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005143The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5144and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5145CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005146
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005147
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148Linux Support:
5149==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005150
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005151Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5152easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5153U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005154
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005155U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5156special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5157"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5158instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5159serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005160
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005161- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5162 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5163 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005164
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005165- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5166 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005167
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005168- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5169 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5170 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5171 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5172 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5173 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005174
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005175
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005176Linux HOWTO:
5177============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005178
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005179Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5180---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005181
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005182U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5183configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5184(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5185Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005186
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005187But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005188
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005189Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5190include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005191Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5192and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005193as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005194
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005195
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005196Configuring the Linux kernel:
5197-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005198
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005199No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5200device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005201
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005202
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005203Building a Linux Image:
5204-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005205
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005206With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5207not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5208"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5209U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5210which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5211100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005212
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005213Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005214
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005215 make TQM850L_config
5216 make oldconfig
5217 make dep
5218 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005219
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005220The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5221encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5222CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005223
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005224* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005225
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005226* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005227
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005228 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5229 -R .note -R .comment \
5230 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005231
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005232* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005233
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005234 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005235
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005237
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005238 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5239 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5240 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005241
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005242
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005243The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5244with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5245combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5246byte header containing information about target architecture,
5247operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5248stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005249
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005250"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5251print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005252
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005253In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5254contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5255checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005256
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005257 tools/mkimage -l image
5258 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005259
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005260The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5261from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005262
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005263 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5264 -n name -d data_file image
5265 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5266 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'

5271 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5272 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'

wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005274Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5275address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5276kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005277
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005278- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5279- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005280
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005281So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005282

5305speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5306needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5307need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005335The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5336option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5337option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5338from the image:
5339
5340 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005345Installing a Linux Image:
5346-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005347
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005348To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5349you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005350
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005351 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005352
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005353The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5354image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5355address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5356specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5357command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005358

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005525More About U-Boot Image Types:
5526------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005527
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005528U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005529
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005530 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5531 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5532 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5533 the Standalone Program.
5534 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5535 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5536 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5537 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5538 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5539 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5540 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5541 being started.
5542 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5543 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5544 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5545 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5546 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5547 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005548
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005549 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5550 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5551 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5552 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5553 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5554 a multiple of 4 bytes).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005556 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5557 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5558 flash memory.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005560 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5561 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5562 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5563 as command interpreter.

5566-------------------------
5567
5568On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5569using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5570as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5571
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005572Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005573kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5574address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5575format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005581One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5582run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5583U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005584
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005585Two simple examples are included with the sources:

5591application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5592It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5593like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005619Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5620handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5621Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5622The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5623character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5624controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005690Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5691(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005692
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005693Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5694NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5695need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5696Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5697attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5698missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005699
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005700 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5701 # mkdir powerpc
5702 # ln -s powerpc machine
5703 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5704 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005705
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005706Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5707and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005708
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005709Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5710stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5711proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5712tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5717=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005718
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005719The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5720implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5721inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5722hardware.

5726---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005727
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005728The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5729starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5730system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5731This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5732is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5733at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5734options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5735models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5736MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5737locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005738
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005739 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005747 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5748 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5749 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5750 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5751 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005752 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005753 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5754 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005755
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005756 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5757 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005758 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005759 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5760 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5761 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5762 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005763
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005764 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005765 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5766 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005767 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005768 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5769 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5770 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5771 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5772 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005777It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5778code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005779
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005780* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5781 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005782
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005783* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005784 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5785 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005786
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005787* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5788 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005789
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005790Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5791normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5792turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5793simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5794functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5795functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5796the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5797place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5798reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005799
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005800When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5801relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5802GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005803
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005804For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5805 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005806 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005807 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5808 R5-R10: parameter passing
5809 R13: small data area pointer
5810 R30: GOT pointer
5811 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005812
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005813 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5814 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5815 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005816
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005817 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005818
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005819 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5820 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5821 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5822 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5823 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005872Memory Management:
5873------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005874
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005875U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5876MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005877
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005878The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5879controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5880memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5881physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005882
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005883U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5884TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5885booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5886to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005887memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005888configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5889Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005890
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005891Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5892of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005893
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005894So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5895this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005896
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005897 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5898 :
5899 0x0000 1FFF
5900 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5901 :
5902 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005903
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005904 :
5905 :
5906 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5907 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5908 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5909 :
5910 0x00FD FFFF
5911 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5912 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5913 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5914 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005915
5916
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005917System Initialization:
5918----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005919
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005920In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005921(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005922configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5923To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5924To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5925initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5926which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5927part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5928the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005929
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005930Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5931preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5932(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5933on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5934programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5935simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5936banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005937
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005938When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5939different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5940bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59410x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5942contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005943
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005944Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5945and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5946Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5947pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005948
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005949Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5950until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5951running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5952new address in RAM.

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006036Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6037MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6038reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6039sources.
6040
6041Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6042Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6043in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006044
6045Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6046- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006047- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006048- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006049- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files

6067
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006068When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6069it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006070
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006071* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6072 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6073 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006074
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006075* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6076 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006077
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006078* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6079
6080* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6081
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006082* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6083 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006084
6085* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6086 document these in the README file.
6087
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006088* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6089 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006090 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006091 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6092 with some other mail clients.

6113Notes:
6114
6115* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6116 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6117 for any of the boards.
6118
6119* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6120 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6121 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6122
6123* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6124 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6125 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6126 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6127 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6128 modification.

6131 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6132 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6133 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
