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

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

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

587
588 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
589 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
590 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
591 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
592 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
593 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
594 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000595 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100596 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

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

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000718 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
719 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
720 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
721 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000722
723 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
724 port routines must be defined elsewhere
725 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
726
727 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
728 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

765
Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000766 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
767 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
768 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
769
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000770 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
771 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
772 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000773
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000774 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
775 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
776 the "silent" environment variable. See
777 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000778
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200779 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
780 is 0x00.
781 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
782 is 0xa0.
783
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000784- Console Baudrate:
785 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
786 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200787 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
788 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000789
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100790- Console Rx buffer length
791 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
792 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100793 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100794 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
795 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
796 the SMC.
797
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000798- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200799 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
800 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
801 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
802 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
803 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
804 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
805 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200806 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200807 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000808
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200809 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
810 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000811
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000812- Safe printf() functions
813 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
814 the printf() functions. These are defined in
815 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
816 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
817 If this option is not given then these functions will
818 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
819 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
820
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000821- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
822 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
823 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000824 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
825 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000826
827 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
828 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
829 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
830 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
831 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
832 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
833 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
834 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
835 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
836 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
837 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
838 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
839
840- Autoboot Command:
841 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
842 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
843 define a command string that is automatically executed
844 when no character is read on the console interface
845 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
846
847 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000848 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
849 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
850 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000851
852 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000853 The value of these goes into the environment as
854 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
855 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200856 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000857
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100858- Bootcount:
859 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
860 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
861 cycle, see:
862 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
863
864 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
865 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
866 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
867 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
868 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
869 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
870 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
871 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
872 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
873
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000874- Pre-Boot Commands:
875 CONFIG_PREBOOT
876
877 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
878 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
879 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
880 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
881 entering interactive mode.
882
883 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
884 automatically generated or modified. For an example
885 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
886 modified when the user holds down a certain
887 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
888 booting the systems
889
890- Serial Download Echo Mode:
891 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
892 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
893 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
894 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
895 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
896 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
897 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
898
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500899- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000900 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
901 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200902 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000903
904- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500905 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
906 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000907 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
908 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500909 and augmenting with additional #define's
910 for wanted commands.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001030 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1031 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1032 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1033 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1034 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1035 initial stack and some data.

1038 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1039
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001040- Regular expression support:
1041 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001042 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1043 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1044 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1045 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001046
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001047- Device tree:
1048 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1049 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1050 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1051 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1052 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1053 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1054
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001055 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1056 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001057
1058 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1059 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1060 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1061 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1062 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1063 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001064
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001065 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1066 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1067 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1068 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1069
1070 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1071
1072 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1073 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1074 still use the individual files if you need something more
1075 exotic.
1076
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001077- Watchdog:
1078 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1079 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001080 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1081 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1082 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1083 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1084 available, then no further board specific code should
1085 be needed to use it.
1086
1087 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1088 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1089 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1090 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001091
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001092- U-Boot Version:
1093 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1094 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1095 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1096 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001097 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1098 next reset.

1118 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001119
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001120 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1121 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1122
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001123- GPIO Support:
1124 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001125
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001126 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1127 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1128 pins supported by a particular chip.
1129
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001130 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1131 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1132
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001133- Timestamp Support:
1134
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001135 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1136 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1137 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001138 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001139
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001140- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001154
1155- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001156 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1157 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001158
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001159 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1160 be performed by calling the function
1161 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1162 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001163

Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001466- ULPI Layer Support:
1467 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1468 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1469 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1470 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1471 viewport is supported.
1472 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1473 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001474 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1475 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1476 the appropriate value in Hz.

1515 one that would help mostly the developer.
1516
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001517 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1518 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1519 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1520 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1521 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1522
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001523 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1524 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1525 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1526 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1527 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1528 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1529
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001530 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1531 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1532 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1533 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1534
1535 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1536 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1537 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1538 sending again an USB request to the device.

Wolfgang Denk04e5ae72011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001632 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001633 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1634 support, and should also define these other macros:
1635
1636 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1637 CONFIG_VIDEO
1638 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1639 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1640 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR

Timur Tabiba8e76b2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001645 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1646 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1647 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1648 description of this variable.

wdenk682011f2003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001659
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001660 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1661 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1662 defined in your board-specific files.

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001717 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1718
1719 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1720 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1721 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1722 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1723 a per-section basis.
1724
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001725 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1726
1727 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1728 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1729 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1730 is slow.

1735
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001736 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1737
1738 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1739 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1740
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001741- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001742
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001743 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1744 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1745 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001746 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001747 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1748 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1749 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1750 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001751
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001752 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1753
1754 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1755 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001756 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001757 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1758 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1759 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1760 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1761 there is no need to set this option.
1762
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001763 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1764
1765 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1766 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1767 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1768 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1769 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1770 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1771
1772 Example:
1773 setenv splashpos m,m
1774 => image at center of screen
1775
1776 setenv splashpos 30,20
1777 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1778
1779 setenv splashpos -10,m
1780 => vertically centered image
1781 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1782
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001783- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1784
1785 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1786 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1787 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1788
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001789- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1790
1791 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1792 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1793 bmp command.
1794
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001795- Do compresssing for memory range:
1796 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1797
1798 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1799 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1800
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001801- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001802 CONFIG_GZIP
1803
1804 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1805
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001806 CONFIG_BZIP2
1807
1808 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1809 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1810 compressed images are supported.
1811
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001812 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001813 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001814 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001815
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001816 CONFIG_LZMA
1817
1818 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1819 images is included.
1820
1821 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1822 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1823 formula:
1824
1825 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1826
1827 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1828 and Literal pos bits.
1829
1830 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1831 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1832 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1833 a very small buffer.
1834
1835 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1836 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001837 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001838
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001839 CONFIG_LZO
1840
1841 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1842 is included.
1843
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001844- MII/PHY support:
1845 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1846
1847 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1848
1849 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1850
1851 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1852
1853 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1854
1855 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001856 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001857
1858 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1859
1860 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1861 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1862 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1863 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1864
1865 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1866
1867 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1868 command issued before MII status register can be read

1900 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1901
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001902- Gateway IP address:

1904
1905 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1906 default router where packets to other networks are
1907 sent to.
1908 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1909
1910- Subnet mask:
1911 CONFIG_NETMASK
1912
1913 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1914 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1915 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1916 forwarded through a router.
1917 (Environment variable "netmask")
1918
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001919- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1920 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1921
1922 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1923 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001924 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001925 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1926 multicast group.
1927
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001928- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1929 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1930
1931 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1932 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1933 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1934 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1935 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1936 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1937 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1938 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001939 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001940
1941 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1942 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001968 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1969 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1970 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1971 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1972 is not available.
1973
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001974 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1975 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1976 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1977 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1978 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1979 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1980 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001981 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001982
1983 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1984 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1985 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001986 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001987 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1988 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001990 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1991
1992 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1993 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1994 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1995 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1996 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1997 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1998 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1999 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2000 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2001 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2002 this delay.

2005 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2006 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2007 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2008 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002054- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2055
2056 Several configurations allow to display the current
2057 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2058 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2059 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2060 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2061 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2062 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2063 feature in U-Boot.
2064
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002065 Additional options:
2066
2067 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2068 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2069 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2070 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2071 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2072
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002073 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2074 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2075 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2076 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2077 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2078 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2079
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002080- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2083 on those systems that support this (optional)
2084 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2249 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2250 provides the following compelling advantages:
2251
2252 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2253 - approved multibus support
2254 - better i2c mux support
2255
2256 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2257
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002258 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2259 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2260 for the selected CPU.

wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002270 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002271 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002272
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002273 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002274 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002275 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002276 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002277
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002278 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002279 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002280 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2281 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2282 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.

2286 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2287 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2288 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2289 commands until the slave device responds.
2290
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002291 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002309
2310 I2C_ACTIVE
2311
2312 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2313 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this

2327
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002328 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2329 false if it is low.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002351 I2C_DELAY
2352
2353 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2354 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002355 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002356 like:
2357

Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002360 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2361
2362 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2363 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2364 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2365 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2366
2367 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2368 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002371
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002372 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2373 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2374 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2375 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2376 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2377 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2378 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2379 is run early in the boot sequence.

Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002381 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2382
2383 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2384 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2385 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2386 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2387 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2388 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2389 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2390 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2391
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002392 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2393
2394 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2395 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2396 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002398 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2399
2400 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002401 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2402 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002403 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2404
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002405 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002406
2407 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002408 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002409 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2410 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002411
2412 e.g.
2413 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002414 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002415
2416 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2417
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002418 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002420
2421 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1

Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002424
2425 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2426 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.

2430 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2431 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2432
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002433 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM

2435 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2436 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2437
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002438 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002439
2440 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2441 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2442 specified DTT device.
2443
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002444 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2445
2446 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2447 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2448 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2449 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2450 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2451 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2452 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002472 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2473 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2474 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2475 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2476 defined, the board configuration must define several
2477 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2478 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2566 protects these variables from casual modification by
2567 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2568 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002569 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002570
2571 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config

2581 read-only.]
2582
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002583 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2584 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2585 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2586 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2587
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002588- Protected RAM:
2589 CONFIG_PRAM
2590
2591 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2592 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2593 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2594 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2595 this default value by defining an environment
2596 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2597 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2598 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2599 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2600 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2601 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2602 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2603
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002604 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002605 saveenv
2606
2607 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2608 either, which results in a memory region that will
2609 not be affected by reboots.
2610
2611 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2612 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2613 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2614 following board configurations are known to be
2615 "pRAM-clean":
2616

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002620
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002621- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2622 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2623 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2624 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2625 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2626 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2627 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2628
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002629- Error Recovery:
2630 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2631
2632 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2633 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2634 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002635 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002636 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2637 useful during development since you can try to debug
2638 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2639
2640 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2641
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002642 This variable defines the number of retries for
2643 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2644 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2645 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002646
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002647 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2648
2649 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2650
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002651 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2652
2653 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2654 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2655 try longer timeout such as
2656 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2657
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002658- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002659 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002660
2661 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2662
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002663 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2664 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002665
2666
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002667 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002668
2669 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2670 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2671 powerful command line syntax like
2672 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2673 constructs ("shell scripts").
2674
2675 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2676 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2677
2678
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002679 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002680
2681 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2682 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2683 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2684
2685 Note:
2686
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002687 In the current implementation, the local variables
2688 space and global environment variables space are
2689 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2690 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2691 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2692 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2693 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002694
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002695 Global environment variables are those you use
2696 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2697 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2698 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002699
2700 To store commands and special characters in a
2701 variable, please use double quotation marks
2702 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2703 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2704 symbols.
2705
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002706- Commandline Editing and History:
2707 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2708
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002709 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002710 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002711
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002712- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002713 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2714
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002715 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2716 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002717 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002718
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002719 For example, place something like this in your
2720 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002721
2722 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2723 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2724 "myvar2=value2\0"
2725
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002726 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2727 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2728 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2729 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002730 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002731 You better know what you are doing here.
2732
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002733 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2734 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002735 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002736 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002737
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002738 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2739
2740 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2741 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2742 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2743
2744 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2745
2746 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2747 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2748 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2749 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2750 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2751
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002752 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2753
2754 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2755 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2756 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2757
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002758 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2759
2760 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2761 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2762 that so that the environment is not available until
2763 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2764 this is instead controlled by the value of
2765 /config/load-environment.
2766
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002767- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002768 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2769
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002770 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2771 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2772 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002773
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002774- Serial Flash support
2775 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2776
2777 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2778 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2779
2780 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2781 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2782 commands.
2783
2784 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2785 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2786 flash is present on the system.
2787
2788 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2789 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2790 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2791 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2792
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002793 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2794
2795 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2796 test ('sf test').
2797
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302798 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2799
2800 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2801 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2802
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302803 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2804
2805 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2806 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2807 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2808
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002809- SystemACE Support:
2810 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2811
2812 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2813 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002814 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002815 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002816
2817 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002818 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002819
2820 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2821 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2822
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002823- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2824 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2825
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002826 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002827 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002828 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002829 number generator is used.
2830
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002831 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2832 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2833 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2834
2835 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002836 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2837 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2838 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2839 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2840 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2841 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2842
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002843- Hashing support:
2844 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2845
2846 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2847 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2848
2849 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2850
2851 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2852 size a little.
2853
2854 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2855 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2856
2857 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2858 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2859
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002860- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2861 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2862 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2863 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2864
2865 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2866 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2867 a boot from specific media.
2868
2869 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2870 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2871 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2872 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2873 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2874
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002875- Signing support:
2876 CONFIG_RSA
2877
2878 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002879 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002880
2881 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2882 option.
2883
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002884- bootcount support:
2885 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2886
2887 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2888 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2889
2890 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2891 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2892 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2893 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2894 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2895 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2896 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2897 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2898 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2899 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2900 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2901 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2902 the bootcounter.
2903 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002904
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002905- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002906 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2907
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002908 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2909 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2910 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2911 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2912 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2913 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002914
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002915- Detailed boot stage timing
2916 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2917 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2918 of the boot process.
2919
2920 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2921 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2922 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2923 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2924 the limit, recording will stop.
2925
2926 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2927 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2928
2929 Timer summary in microseconds:
2930 Mark Elapsed Stage
2931 0 0 reset
2932 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2933 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2934 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2935 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2936 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2937 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2938 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2939
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002940 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2941 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2942 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2943
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002944 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2945 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2946 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2947 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2948 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2949 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2950 For example:
2951
2952 bootstage {
2953 154 {
2954 name = "board_init_f";

Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003431[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003432

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003445- Interrupt support (PPC):
3446
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003447 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3448 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003449 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003450 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003451 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003452 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003453 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003454 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3455 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3456 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003458- General:
3459
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003460 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3461 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3462 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003463 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003464 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3465 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3466 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003467
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003468 If there are no modem init strings in the
3469 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3470 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003471 suppressed, though.

3477
3478During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3479to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3480before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3481following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3482architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3483typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003554
3555 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3556 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3557 be touched.

3559 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3560 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3561 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a

3759 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3760 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3761 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3762 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3763 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3764 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3765 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3766 your board please report the problem and send patches!

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003773The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3774of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3775following configurations:
3776
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003777- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3778
3779 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3780 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3781
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003782- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003783
3784 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3785
3786 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3787 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3788 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3789 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3790 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3791 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3792 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3793 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3794 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3795 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3796 between U-Boot and the environment.
3797
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003798 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003799
3800 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3801 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3802 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3803 for this sector is given here.
3804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003805 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003807 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003808
3809 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3810 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003811 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003812
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003813 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003814
3815 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3816
3817
3818 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3819 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3820 the environment.
3821
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003822 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003823
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003824 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003825 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003826 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3827 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3828
3829 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3830 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3831 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3832 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3833 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3834 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3835 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3836 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3837 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003842 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003843 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003844 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003845 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003846
3847BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3848source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3849accordingly!

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003852- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003853
3854 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3855 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3856 environment.
3857
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003858 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3859 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003860
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003861 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003862 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3863 can just be read and written to, without any special
3864 provision.
3865
3866BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3867in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003868console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003869U-Boot will hang.
3870
3871Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3872environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3873keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3874to save the current settings.
3875
3876
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003877- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003878
3879 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3880 device and a driver for it.
3881
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003882 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3883 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003884
3885 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3886 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3887
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003888 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003889 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3890 The default address is zero.
3891
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003892 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003893 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3894 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3895 would require six bits.
3896
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003897 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003898 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003899 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003900
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003901 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003902 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3903 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3904
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003905 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003906 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3907 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3908 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3909 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3910 byte chips.
3911
3912 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3913 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3914 in the chip address.
3915
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003916 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003917 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3918
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003919 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3920 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3921 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3922
3923 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3924 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3925 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3926 EEPROM. For example:
3927
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003928 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003929
3930 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3931 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003932
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD057c8492008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003933- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003934
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003935 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003936 want to use for the environment.
3937
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003938 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3939 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3940 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003941
3942 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3943 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3944 at the specified address.
3945
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003946- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3947
3948 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3949 want to use for the local device's environment.
3950
3951 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3952 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3953
3954 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3955 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3956 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003957 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003958
3959BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3960"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003961environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3962but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003963
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003964- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003965
3966 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3967 for the environment.
3968
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003969 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3970 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003971
3972 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003973 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3974 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003975
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003976 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003977
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003978 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003979 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3980 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003981 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003982 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003983
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003984 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3985
3986 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3987 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3988 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3989 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3990 the range to be avoided.
3991
3992 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3993
3994 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3995 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3996 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3997 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3998 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003999
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004000- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4001
4002 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4003 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4004 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4005
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004006- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4007
4008 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4009 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4010 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4011
4012 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4013
4014 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4015
4016 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4017
4018 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4019 environment in.
4020
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004021 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4022
4023 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4024 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4025 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4026
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004027 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4028 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4029
4030 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4031 when storing the env in UBI.
4032
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004033- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4034
4035 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4036 environment.
4037
4038 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4039
4040 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4041
4042 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4043
4044 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4045 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4046 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4047
4048 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4049 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4050
4051 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4052 area within the specified MMC device.
4053
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004054 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4055 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4056 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4057 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4058 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4059 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4060 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4061
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004062 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4063 MMC sector boundary.
4064
4065 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4066
4067 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4068 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4069 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4070 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4071
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004072 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4073 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4074
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004075 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4076 an MMC sector boundary.
4077
4078 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4079
4080 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4081 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4082 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4083
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004084- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004085
4086 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4087 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4088 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4089 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4090 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4091 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4092 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4093
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004094Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004095has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004096created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004097until then to read environment variables.
4098
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004099The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4100is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4101with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4102necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4103"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4104have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004105
4106Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4107the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004108use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004112
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004113 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004114 also needs to be defined.
4115
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004116- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004119- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4120 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4121 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4122 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4123 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4124 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4125
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004126- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4127 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4128 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4129 to do this.
4130
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004131- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4132 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4133 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4134 present.

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004144
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004145 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004149- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4150 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4151 PowerPC SOCs.
4152
4153- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4154 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4155 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4156
4157 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4158 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4159
4160- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4161 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4162 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004163 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004164 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4165 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4166 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4167
4168 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4169 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4170
4171- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004172 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4173 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004174 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4175 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4176
4177- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4178 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4179 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4180 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4181
4182- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4183 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4184 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4410 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4411 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4412
4413- CONFIG_RMII
4414 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4415 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4416 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4417
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004418- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4419 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4420 The syntax is:
4421
4422 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4423
4424 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4425 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4426 area should have.
4427
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004428- CONFIG_LOOPW
4429 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004430 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004431
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004432- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4433 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4434 "md/mw" commands.
4435 Examples:
4436
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004437 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004438 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4439
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004440 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004441 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4442
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004443 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004444 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004445
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004446- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004447 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004448 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4449 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4450 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004451
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004452 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4453 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4454 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4455 these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004456
Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004457- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004458 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4459 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4460 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk400558b2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004461
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004462- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4463 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4464 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4465 It is loaded by the SPL.
4466
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004467- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4468 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4469 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4470 previous 4k of the .text section.
4471
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004472- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4473 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4474 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4475 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4476 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4477 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4478 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4479 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4480
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004481- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4482 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4483 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4484 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4485 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4486
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004487- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4488 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4489 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004490
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004491- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4492 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4493
4494 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004495
Heiko Schocher16678eb2013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004496- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4497 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4498
Karicheri, Muralidharan999d7d32014-04-04 13:16:50 -04004499- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4500 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4501 driver that uses this:
4502 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004504Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4505-----------------------------------
4506
4507The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4508loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4509This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4510are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4511within that device.
4512
4513- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4514 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4515 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4516 is also specified.
4517
4518- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4519 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4520 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4521 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4522 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4523
4524- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4525 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4526 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4527 virtual address in NOR flash.
4528
4529- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4530 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4531 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4532
4533- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4534 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4535 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4536
4537- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4538 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4539 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4540
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004541- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4542 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4543 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004544 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4545 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4546 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004548Building the Software:
4549======================
4550
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004551Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4552and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4553all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4554(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4555recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4556which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004557
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004558If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4559have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4560you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4561Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4562necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004563
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004564 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4565 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004566
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004567Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4568 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4569 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4570 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4571
4572 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4573
4574 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4575 be executed on computers running Windows.
4576
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004577U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4578sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004579is done by typing:
4580
4581 make NAME_config
4582
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004583where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004584rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004585
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004586Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4587 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4588 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4589 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004590 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004591
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004592 make TQM823L_config
4593 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004594
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004595 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4596 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004597
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004598 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004599
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004600
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004601Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4602images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004603
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004604- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4605- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4606- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004607
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004608By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4609in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4610this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4611
46121. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4613
4614 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4615 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4616 make O=/tmp/build all
4617
46182. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4619
4620 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4621 make distclean
4622 make NAME_config
4623 make all
4624
4625Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4626variable.
4627
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004628
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004629Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4630for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4631native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004632
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004633
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004634If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4635to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4636steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004637
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046381. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004639 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4640 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046412. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4642 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4643 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46443. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4645 your board
46463. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4647 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46484. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46495. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4650 to be installed on your target system.
46516. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4652 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004653
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004654
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004655Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4656==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004657
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004658If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4659or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004660provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4661the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004662official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004663
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004664But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4665cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004666the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4667just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004668for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4669select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4670environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4671you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004672
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004673 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004674
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004675or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004676
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004677 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004678
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004679When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4680U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4681setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4682built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4683<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4684location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4685variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004686
4687 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4688 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4689 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4690
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004691With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4692log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4693during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004756Environment Variables:
4757======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004758
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004759U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4760can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004761
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004762Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4763"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4764without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4765environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4766working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4767environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004769Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4770
4771List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004772
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004773 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004774
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004775 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004776
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004777 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004778
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004779 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004780
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004781 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004782
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004783 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4784 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4785 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4786 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4787 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4788 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004789 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4790 bootm_mapsize.
4791
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004792 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004793 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4794 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4795 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4796 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4797 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4798 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004799
4800 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4801 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4802 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4803 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4804 environment variable.
4805
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004806 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4807 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4808 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4809
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004810 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4811 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4812 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4813 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004814
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004815 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4816 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4817 be automatically started (by internally calling
4818 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004819
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004820 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4821 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4822 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4823 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4824 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004825
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004826 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4827 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004828 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4829 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4830 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4831 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4832 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4833 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4834 access it during the boot procedure.
4835
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004836 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4837 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4838 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4839 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4840 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4841 must be accessible by the kernel.
4842
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004843 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4844 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4845 defined.
4846
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004847 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4848 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4849 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4850 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4851 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4852
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004853 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4854 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4855 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4856 is usually what you want since it allows for
4857 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4858 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004859 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004860 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4861 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4862 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4863 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004864
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004865 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4866 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4867 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4868 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4869 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4870 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004871
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004872 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004873
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004874 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4875 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4876 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4877 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4878 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4879 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4880 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004881
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004882 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004894
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004895 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004896
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004897 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004898
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004899 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4900 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004901
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004902 => setenv ethact FEC
4903 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4904 => setenv ethact SCC
4905 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004906
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004907 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4908 available network interfaces.
4909 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4910
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004911 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004912 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4913 When set to "once" the network operation will
4914 fail when all the available network interfaces
4915 are tried once without success.
4916 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4917 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004918
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004919 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004920
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004921 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4922 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4923 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4924 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4925 is silent.
4926
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004927 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004928 UDP source port.
4929
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004930 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4931 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4932
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004933 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4934 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4935
4936 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4937 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4938 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4939 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4940 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4941 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4942 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4943
4944 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004945 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004946 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004947
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004948The following image location variables contain the location of images
4949used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4950not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4951variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4952server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4953loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4954flash or offset in NAND flash.
4955
4956*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4957boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4958boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004967The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4968updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4969depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004970
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004971 bootfile - see above
4972 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4973 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4974 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4975 hostname - Target hostname
4976 ipaddr - see above
4977 netmask - Subnet Mask
4978 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4979 serverip - see above

wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004981
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004982There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004983
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004984 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4985 as type string and/or serial number
4986 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004987
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004988These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4989the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4990once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004991
4992
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004993Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004994
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004995 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4996 with the "version" command. This variable is
4997 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005004Callback functions for environment variables:
5005---------------------------------------------
5006
5007For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5008when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5009be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5010deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5011effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5012
5013The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5014U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5015
5016These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5017static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5018in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5019associations. The list must be in the following format:
5020
5021 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5022 list = entry[,list]
5023
5024If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5025Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5026
5027Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5028with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5029override any association in the static list. You can define
5030CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5031".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005034Command Line Parsing:
5035=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005036
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005037There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5038the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005039
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005040Old, simple command line parser:
5041--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005042
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5044- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005045- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005046- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5047 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005048 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005049- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5050 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005052Hush shell:
5053-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005054
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005055- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5056 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5057 until...do...done, ...
5058- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5059 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5060 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5061 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005062
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005063General rules:
5064--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005065
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005066(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5067 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5068 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5069 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005070
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005071(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005072 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005073 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5074 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005076Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5077=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005078
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005079Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005080such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5081"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005082
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005083Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5084MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5085"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005086
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005087If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5088in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5089ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5090variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005091
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005092o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5093 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005094
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005095o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5096 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5097 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005099o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5100 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005101
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005102o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5103 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5104 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005105
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005106o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5107 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005108
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005109If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005110will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005111may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5112The naming convention is as follows:
5113"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005114
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005115Image Formats:
5116==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005117
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005118U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5119images in two formats:
5120
5121New uImage format (FIT)
5122-----------------------
5123
5124Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5125to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5126components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5127SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5128
5129
5130Old uImage format
5131-----------------
5132
5133Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5134preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5135details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005136
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005137* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005151The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5152and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5153CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005154
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005155
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005156Linux Support:
5157==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005158
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005159Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5160easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5161U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005162
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005163U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5164special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5165"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5166instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5167serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005168
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005169- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5170 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5171 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005172
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005173- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5174 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005175
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005176- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5177 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5178 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5179 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5180 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5181 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005182

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005184Linux HOWTO:
5185============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005186
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005187Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5188---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005189
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005190U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5191configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5192(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5193Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005194
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005195But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005196
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005197Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5198include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005199Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5200and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005201as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005202
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005203
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005204Configuring the Linux kernel:
5205-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005206
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005207No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5208device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005209
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005210
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005211Building a Linux Image:
5212-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005213
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005214With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5215not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5216"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5217U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5218which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5219100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005220
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005221Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005222
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005223 make TQM850L_config
5224 make oldconfig
5225 make dep
5226 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005227
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005228The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5229encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5230CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005231
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005232* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005233
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005234* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005235
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005236 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5237 -R .note -R .comment \
5238 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005239
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005240* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005241
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005242 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005243
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005244* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005245
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005246 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5247 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5248 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005249
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005250
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005251The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5252with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5253combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5254byte header containing information about target architecture,
5255operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5256stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005257
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005258"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5259print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005260
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005261In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5262contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5263checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005264
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005265 tools/mkimage -l image

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005267
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005268The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5269from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005270
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005271 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5272 -n name -d data_file image
5273 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5274 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5275 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5276 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5277 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5278 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5279 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5280 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005281
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005282Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5283address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5284kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005285
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005286- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5287- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005288
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005289So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005290

5313speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5314needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5315need to be uncompressed:

5344option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5345option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5346from the image:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005353Installing a Linux Image:
5354-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005355
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005356To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5357you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005358
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005359 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005360
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005361The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5362image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5363address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5364specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5365command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005366
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005367Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533More About U-Boot Image Types:
5534------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005535
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005536U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005537
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005538 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5539 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5540 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5541 the Standalone Program.
5542 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5543 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5544 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5545 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5546 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5547 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5548 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5549 being started.
5550 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5551 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5552 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5553 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5554 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5555 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005557 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5558 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5559 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5560 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5561 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5562 a multiple of 4 bytes).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005564 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5565 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5566 flash memory.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005568 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5569 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5570 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5571 as command interpreter.

5574-------------------------
5575
5576On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5577using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5578as the syntax of "bootm" command.

Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005580Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005581kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5582address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5583format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005589One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5590run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5591U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005592
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005593Two simple examples are included with the sources:

5599application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5600It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5601like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005627Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5628handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5629Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5630The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5631character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5632controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005698Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5699(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005700
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005701Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5702NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5703need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5704Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5705attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5706missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005707
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005708 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5709 # mkdir powerpc
5710 # ln -s powerpc machine
5711 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5712 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005713
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005714Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5715and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005716
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005717Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5718stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5719proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5720tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5725=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005726
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005727The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5728implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5729inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5730hardware.

5734---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005735
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005736The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5737starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5738system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5739This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5740is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5741at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5742options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5743models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5744MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5745locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005746
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005747 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005755 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5756 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5757 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5758 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5759 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005760 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005761 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5762 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5765 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005766 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005767 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5768 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5769 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5770 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005771
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005772 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005773 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5774 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005775 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005776 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5777 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5778 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5779 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5780 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005785It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5786code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005787
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005788* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5789 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005790
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005791* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005792 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5793 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005794
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005795* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5796 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005797
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005798Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5799normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5800turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5801simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5802functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5803functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5804the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5805place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5806reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005807
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005808When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5809relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5810GCC's implementation.

5822 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5823 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005826
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005827 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5828 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5829 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5830 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5831 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5832 624 text + 127 data).

Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005877NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005880Memory Management:
5881------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005882
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005883U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5884MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005885
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005886The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5887controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5888memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5889physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005890
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005891U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5892TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5893booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5894to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005895memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005896configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5897Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005898
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005899Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5900of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005901
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005902So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5903this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005904
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005905 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5906 :
5907 0x0000 1FFF
5908 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5909 :
5910 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005911
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005912 :

5914 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5915 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5916 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5917 :
5918 0x00FD FFFF
5919 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5920 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5921 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5922 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005923
5924
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005925System Initialization:
5926----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005927
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005928In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005929(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005930configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5931To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5932To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5933initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5934which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5935part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5936the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005937
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005938Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5939preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5940(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5941on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5942programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5943simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5944banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005945
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005946When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5947different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5948bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59490x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5950contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005951
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005952Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5953and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5954Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5955pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005956
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005957Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5958until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5959running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5960new address in RAM.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006106 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6107 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6108 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6109 affected files).

6111 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6112 and compressed attachments must not be used.

6114* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6115 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6116
6117* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6118 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

6120
6121Notes:
6122
6123* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6124 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6125 for any of the boards.
6126
6127* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6128 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6129 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6130
6131* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6132 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6133 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6134 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6135 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6136 modification.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006138* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6139 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6140 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6141 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
