24Summary:
25========

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000027This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenke86e5a02004-10-17 21:12:06 +000028Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000032
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000036support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000050Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000051"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000234Software Configuration:
235=======================
236
237Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
238rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
239
240There are two classes of configuration variables:
241
242* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
243 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
244 "CONFIG_".
245
246* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
247 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
248 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200249 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000250
251Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
252identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
253do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
254links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
255as an example here.
256
257
258Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
259---------------------------------------------------
260
261For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
262configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
263
264Example: For a TQM823L module type:
265
266 cd u-boot
267 make TQM823L_config
268
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200269For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000270e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
271directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
272
273
274Configuration Options:
275----------------------
276
277Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
278such information is kept in a configuration file
279"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
280
281Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
282"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
283
284
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000285Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
286kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
287build a config tool - later.
288
289
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000290The following options need to be configured:
291

339 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000340 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
341 reference PIT/RTC clock
wdenk66ca92a2004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000342 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK

wdenk75d1ea72004-01-31 20:06:54 +0000352
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000353 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
354 of relying on the correctness of the configured
355 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
356 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
357 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000423- Linux Kernel Interface:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000424 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
425
426 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
427 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
428 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
429 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
430 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
431 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
432 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000433 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100434 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000435 default environment.

473
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200474 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
475
476 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
477 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
478 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
479 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
480 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
481 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
482
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000483 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
484
485 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
486 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
487 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
488 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
489 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
490 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
491 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

543
544 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
545 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
546 this variable to initialize the extra register.
547
548 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
549
550 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
551 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
552 variable to flush the UART at init time.

620 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
621 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100622 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100623 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
624 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
625 the SMC.
626
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000627- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200628 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
629 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
630 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
631 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
632 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
633 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
634 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200635 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200636 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000637
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200638 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if

642 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
643 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
644
645 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
646 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.

655 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
656 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
657
658- Autoboot Command:
659 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
660 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
661 define a command string that is automatically executed
662 when no character is read on the console interface
663 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
664
665 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000666 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
667 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
668 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000669
670 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000671 The value of these goes into the environment as
672 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
673 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200674 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000675
676- Pre-Boot Commands:
677 CONFIG_PREBOOT
678
679 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
680 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
681 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
682 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
683 entering interactive mode.
684
685 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
686 automatically generated or modified. For an example
687 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
688 modified when the user holds down a certain
689 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
690 booting the systems
691
692- Serial Download Echo Mode:
693 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
694 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
695 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
696 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
697 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
698 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
699 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000797
798 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
799 support you can write:
800
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500801 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
802 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000803
Gerald Van Baren213bf8c2007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400804 Other Commands:
805 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000806
807 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500808 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000809 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
810 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
811 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
812 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
813 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
814 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000815
816
817 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
818
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000819- Device tree:
820 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
821 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
822 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
823 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
824 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
825 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
826
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000827 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
828 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000829
830 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
831 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
832 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
833 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
834 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
835 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000836
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000837 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
838 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
839 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
840 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
841
842 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
843
844 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
845 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
846 still use the individual files if you need something more
847 exotic.
848
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000849- Watchdog:
850 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
851 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000852 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
853 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
854 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
855 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
856 available, then no further board specific code should
857 be needed to use it.
858
859 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
860 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
861 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
862 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000863
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +0000864- U-Boot Version:
865 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
866 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
867 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
868 version as printed by the "version" command.
869 This variable is readonly.
870
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000871- Real-Time Clock:
872
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500873 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000874 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
875 following options:
876
877 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
878 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +0000879 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000880 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000882 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk7f70e852003-05-20 14:25:27 +0000883 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
wdenk3bac3512003-03-12 10:41:04 +0000884 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krill9536dfc2008-03-15 15:40:26 +0100885 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenk4c0d4c32004-06-09 17:34:58 +0000886 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200887 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +0200888 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
889 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000890
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +0000891 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
892 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
893
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600894- GPIO Support:
895 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
896 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command
897
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +0000898 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
899 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
900 pins supported by a particular chip.
901
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -0600902 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
903 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
904
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000905- Timestamp Support:
906
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000907 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
908 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
909 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500910 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000911
912- Partition Support:
913 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION
richardretanubun07f3d782008-09-26 11:13:22 -0400914 and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000915
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100916 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
917 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
918 least one partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000919
920- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000921 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
922 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000923
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +0000924 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
925 be performed by calling the function
926 ide_set_reset(int reset)
927 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000928
929- ATAPI Support:
930 CONFIG_ATAPI
931
932 Set this to enable ATAPI support.

935 CONFIG_LBA48
936
937 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher4b142fe2009-12-03 11:21:21 +0100938 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +0000939 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
940 support disks up to 2.1TB.
941
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200942 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +0000943 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
944 Default is 32bit.
945
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000946- SCSI Support:
947 At the moment only there is only support for the
948 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
949 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
950
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200951 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
952 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
953 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000954 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
955 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200956 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001333- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001334
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001335 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1336 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1337 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001338 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001339 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1340 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1341 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1342 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001343
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001344 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1345
1346 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1347 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1348 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1349 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1350 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1351 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1352
1353 Example:
1354 setenv splashpos m,m
1355 => image at center of screen
1356
1357 setenv splashpos 30,20
1358 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1359
1360 setenv splashpos -10,m
1361 => vertically centered image
1362 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1363
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001364- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1365
1366 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1367 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1368 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1369
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001370- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1371
1372 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1373 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1374 bmp command.
1375
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001376- Compression support:
1377 CONFIG_BZIP2
1378
1379 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1380 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1381 compressed images are supported.
1382
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001383 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001384 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001385 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001386
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001387 CONFIG_LZMA
1388
1389 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1390 images is included.
1391
1392 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1393 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1394 formula:
1395
1396 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1397
1398 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1399 and Literal pos bits.
1400
1401 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1402 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1403 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1404 a very small buffer.
1405
1406 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1407 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001408 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001409
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001410- MII/PHY support:
1411 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1412
1413 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1414
1415 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1416
1417 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1418
1419 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1420
1421 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001422 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001423
1424 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1425
1426 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1427 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1428 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1429 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1430
1431 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1432
1433 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1434 command issued before MII status register can be read
1435

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001444 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1445 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001446 is not determined automatically.
1447
1448- IP address:
1449 CONFIG_IPADDR
1450
1451 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001452 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001453 determined through e.g. bootp.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001454 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001455
1456- Server IP address:
1457 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1458
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001459 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001460 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001461 (Environment variable "serverip")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001462
Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001463 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1464
1465 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1466 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1467
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001468- Gateway IP address:
1469 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1470
1471 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1472 default router where packets to other networks are
1473 sent to.
1474 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1475
1476- Subnet mask:
1477 CONFIG_NETMASK
1478
1479 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1480 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1481 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1482 forwarded through a router.
1483 (Environment variable "netmask")
1484
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001485- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1486 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1487
1488 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1489 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001490 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001491 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1492 multicast group.
1493
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001494- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1495 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1496
1497 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1498 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1499 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1500 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1501 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1502 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1503 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1504 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001505 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001506
1507 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1508 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1509 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1510 4th and following
1511 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1512
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001513- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001514 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1515 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001516
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001517 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1518 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY

1521 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1522 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1523 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1524 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1525 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1526 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1527 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1528 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001529
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001530 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1531 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001532
1533 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1534 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1535 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1536 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1537 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1538 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1539 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001540 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001541
1542 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1543 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1544 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001545 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001546 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1547 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001548
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001549 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1550
1551 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1552 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1553 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1554 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1555 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1556 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1557 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1558 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1559 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1560 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1561 this delay.
1562
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001563 - CDP Options:
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00001564 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001565
1566 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1567
1568 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1569
1570 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1571 of the device.
1572
1573 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1574
1575 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1576 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001577 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001578
1579 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1580
1581 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1582 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1583
1584 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1585
1586 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1587
1588 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1589
1590 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1591
1592 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1593
1594 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1595
1596 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1597
1598 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1599 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1600
1601 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1602
1603 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1604
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001605- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1606
1607 Several configurations allow to display the current
1608 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1609 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1610 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1611 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1612 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1613 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1614 feature in U-Boot.
1615
1616- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1617
1618 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1619 on those systems that support this (optional)
1620 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1621
1622- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1623
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001624 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001625 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001626 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001627
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001628 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001629 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001630 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1631 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001632 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001633
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001634 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001635
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001636 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001637 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1638 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001639
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001640 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001641 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001642
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001643 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001644 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001645 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001646 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001647
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001648 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02001649 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001650 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1651 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1652 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001653
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05001654 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1655
1656 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1657 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1658 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1659 commands until the slave device responds.
1660
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001661 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001662
1663 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1664 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1665 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001666
1667 I2C_INIT

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001674 I2C_PORT
1675
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001676 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1677 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1678 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001679
1680 I2C_ACTIVE
1681
1682 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1683 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1684 define can be null.
1685
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001686 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1687
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001688 I2C_TRISTATE
1689
1690 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1691 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1692 define can be null.
1693
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001694 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1695
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001696 I2C_READ
1697
1698 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1699 FALSE if it is low.
1700
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001701 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1702
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001703 I2C_SDA(bit)
1704
1705 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1706 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1707
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001708 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001712 I2C_SCL(bit)
1713
1714 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1715 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1716
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001717 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001721 I2C_DELAY
1722
1723 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1724 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001725 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001726 like:
1727
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001728 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)

Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04001730 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1731
1732 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1733 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1734 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1735 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1736
1737 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1738 the generic GPIO functions.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001740 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001741
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001742 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1743 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1744 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1745 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1746 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1747 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1748 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1749 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001750
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04001751 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1752
1753 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1754 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1755 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1756 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1757 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1758 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1759 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1760 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1761
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001762 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1763
1764 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1765 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1766 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1767
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001768 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1769
1770 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001771 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1772 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001773 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1774
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001775 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001776
1777 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001778 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001779 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1780 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001781
1782 e.g.
1783 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001784 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001785
1786 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1787
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00001788 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001789 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001790
1791 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1792
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001793 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001794
1795 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1796 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1797
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001798 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001799
1800 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1801 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1802
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001803 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001804
1805 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1806 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1807
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001808 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07001809
1810 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1811 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1812 specified DTT device.
1813
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001814 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1815
1816 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
Marcel Ziswiler7817cb22007-12-30 03:30:46 +01001817 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001818
Heiko Schocher67b23a32008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001819 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1820
1821 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1822 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1823 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1824 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1825 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1826 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1827
1828 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1829 feature!
1830
1831 Example:
1832 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1833 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1834 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1835
1836 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1837
1838 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1839 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1840
1841 => i2c bus
1842 Busses reached over muxes:
1843 Bus ID: 2
1844 reached over Mux(es):
1845 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1846 Bus ID: 3
1847 reached over Mux(es):
1848 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1849 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1850 =>
1851
1852 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
Michael Jonesf9a78b82011-07-14 22:09:28 +00001853 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
1854 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
Heiko Schocher67b23a32008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001855 the channel 4.
1856
1857 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
Michael Jonesf9a78b82011-07-14 22:09:28 +00001858 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
Heiko Schocher67b23a32008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001859 the 2 muxes.
1860
1861 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1862 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1863 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1864 to add this option to other architectures.
1865
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001866 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1867
1868 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1869 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1870 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1871 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1872 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1873 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1874 the other.

1895 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1896 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1897 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1898 defined, the board configuration must define several
1899 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001972
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001973 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001974 200 ms.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001975
1976- Configuration Management:
1977 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1978
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001979 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1980 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001981
1982- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1983
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001984 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1985 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001986 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001987 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1988 protects these variables from casual modification by
1989 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1990 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001991 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001992
1993 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1994 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001995 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001996 these parameters.
1997
1998 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1999 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002000 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002001 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2002 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2003 read-only.]
2004
2005- Protected RAM:
2006 CONFIG_PRAM
2007
2008 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2009 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2010 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2011 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2012 this default value by defining an environment
2013 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2014 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2015 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2016 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2017 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2018 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2019 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2020
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002021 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002022 saveenv
2023
2024 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2025 either, which results in a memory region that will
2026 not be affected by reboots.
2027
2028 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2029 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2030 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2031 following board configurations are known to be
2032 "pRAM-clean":
2033
2034 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2035 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
Wolfgang Denk544d97e2010-10-05 22:54:53 +02002036 FLAGADM, TQM8260
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002037
2038- Error Recovery:
2039 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2040
2041 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2042 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2043 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002044 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002045 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2046 useful during development since you can try to debug
2047 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2048
2049 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2050
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002051 This variable defines the number of retries for
2052 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2053 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2054 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002055
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002056 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2057
2058 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2059
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002060- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002061 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002062
2063 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2064
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002065 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2066 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002067
2068
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002069 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002070
2071 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2072 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2073 powerful command line syntax like
2074 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2075 constructs ("shell scripts").
2076
2077 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2078 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2079
2080
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002081 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002082
2083 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2084 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2085 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2086
2087 Note:
2088
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002089 In the current implementation, the local variables
2090 space and global environment variables space are
2091 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2092 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2093 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2094 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2095 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002096
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002097 Global environment variables are those you use
2098 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2099 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2100 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002101
2102 To store commands and special characters in a
2103 variable, please use double quotation marks
2104 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2105 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2106 symbols.
2107
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002108- Commandline Editing and History:
2109 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2110
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002111 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002112 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002113
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002114- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002115 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2116
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002117 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2118 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002119 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002120
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002121 For example, place something like this in your
2122 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002123
2124 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2125 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2126 "myvar2=value2\0"
2127
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002128 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2129 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2130 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2131 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002132 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002133 You better know what you are doing here.
2134
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002135 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2136 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002137 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002138 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002139
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002140- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002141 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2142
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002143 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2144 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2145 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002146
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002147- SystemACE Support:
2148 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2149
2150 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2151 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002152 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002153 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002154
2155 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002156 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002157
2158 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2159 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2160
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002161- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2162 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2163
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002164 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002165 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002166 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002167 number generator is used.
2168
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002169 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2170 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2171 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2172
2173 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002174 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2175 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2176 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2177 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2178 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2179 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2180
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002181- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002182 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2183
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002184 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2185 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2186 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2187 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2188 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2189 the following checkpoints are implemented:

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002439- Interrupt support (PPC):
2440
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002441 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2442 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002443 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002444 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002445 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002446 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002447 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002448 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2449 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2450 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002452- General:
2453
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002454 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2455 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2456 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002457 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002458 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2459 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2460 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002461
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002462 If there are no modem init strings in the
2463 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2464 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002465 suppressed, though.

2472During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2473to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2474before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2475following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is

Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002539 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2540 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2541 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002542 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002544 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002545
2546 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2547 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2548 be touched.

2550 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2551 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2552 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a

stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00002687 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002700The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2701of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2702following configurations:
2703
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00002704- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
2705
2706 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
2707 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
2708
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002709- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002710
2711 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2712
2713 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2714 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2715 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2716 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2717 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2718 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2719 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2720 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2721 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2722 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2723 between U-Boot and the environment.
2724
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002725 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002726
2727 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2728 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2729 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2730 for this sector is given here.
2731
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002732 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002735
2736 This is just another way to specify the start address of
2737 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002738 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002739
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002740 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002741
2742 Size of the sector containing the environment.
2743
2744
2745 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2746 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2747 the environment.
2748
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002749 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002750
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002751 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002752 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002753 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2754 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2755
2756 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2757 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2758 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2759 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2760 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2761 updating the environment in flash makes it always
2762 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2763 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2764 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002768
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002769 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002770 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002773
2774BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2775source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2776accordingly!

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02002779- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002780
2781 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2782 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2783 environment.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002788 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002789 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2790 can just be read and written to, without any special
2791 provision.
2792
2793BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2794in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002795console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002796U-Boot will hang.
2797
2798Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2799environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2800keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2801to save the current settings.
2802
2803
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02002804- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002805
2806 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2807 device and a driver for it.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002816 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2817 The default address is zero.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002820 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2821 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
2822 would require six bits.
2823
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002824 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002825 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002826 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002828 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002829 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
2830 that this is NOT the chip address length!
2831
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002832 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002833 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2834 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2835 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2836 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2837 byte chips.
2838
2839 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2840 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2841 in the chip address.
2842
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002843 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

2845
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01002846 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
2847 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
2848 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
2849
2850 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
2851 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
2852 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
2853 EEPROM. For example:
2854
Wolfgang Denka9046b92010-06-13 17:48:15 +02002855 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01002856
2857 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
2858 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002861
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002862 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002863 want to use for the environment.
2864

2867 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002868
2869 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
2870 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
2871 at the specified address.
2872
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02002873- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00002874
2875 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
2876 for the environment.
2877
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002878 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2879 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00002880
2881 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002882 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
2883 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00002884
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002885 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002886
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002887 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002888 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
2889 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002890 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002891 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002892
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002893 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
2894
2895 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
2896 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
2897 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
2898 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
2899 the range to be avoided.
2900
2901 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
2902
2903 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
2904 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
2905 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
2906 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
2907 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002908
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02002909- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
2910
2911 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
2912 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
2913 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
2914
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002915- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002916
2917 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2918 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2919 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2920 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2921 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2922 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2923 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2924
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07002925Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002926has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02002927created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002928until then to read environment variables.
2929
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002930The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2931is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2932with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2933necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2934"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2935have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002936
2937Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2938the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002939use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002940
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002941- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00002943
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002944 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00002945 also needs to be defined.
2946
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002947- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08002950- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
2951 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
2952 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
2953 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
2954 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
2955 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002965
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002966 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
2967 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
2968 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05002970- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
2971 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
2972 PowerPC SOCs.
2973
2974- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
2975 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
2976 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
2977
2978 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
2979 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
2980
2981- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
2982 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
2983 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002984 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05002985 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
2986 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
2987 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
2988
2989 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
2990 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
2991
2992- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02002993 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
2994 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05002995 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
2996 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
2997
2998- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
2999 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3000 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3001 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3002
3003- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3004 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3005 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003019 defines the offset of register from address. It
3020 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003021 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)

3203 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
3204
3205- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
3206 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00003207 to the given FEC; i. e.
3208 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00003209 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
3210
3211 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
3212
3213- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR

3224 The syntax is:
3225
3226 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
3227

3238 "md/mw" commands.
3239 Examples:
3240
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00003241 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00003242 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
3243
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00003244 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00003245 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
3246
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00003247 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05003248 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00003250- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00003251 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003252 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3253 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3254 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00003255
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01003256 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3257 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3258 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3259 these initializations itself.

Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00003261- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02003262 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
3263 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
3264 compiling a NAND SPL.

Heiko Schocher68bb8292011-11-01 20:00:30 +00003266- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3267 define this, if you want to read first the oob data
3268 and then the data. This is used for example on
3269 davinci plattforms.
3270
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00003271- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
3272 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
3273 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
3274 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
3275 conditions but may increase the binary size.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003277Building the Software:
3278======================
3279
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003280Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3281and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3282all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3283(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3284recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3285which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003286
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003287If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3288have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3289you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3290Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3291necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003292
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003293 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3294 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003295
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05003296Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3297 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3298 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3299 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
3300
3301 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3302
3303 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3304 be executed on computers running Windows.
3305
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003306U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3307sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003308is done by typing:
3309
3310 make NAME_config
3311
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003312where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
3313rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00003314
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003315Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3316 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3317 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3318 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003319 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003320
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003321 make TQM823L_config
3322 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003323
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003324 make TQM823L_LCD_config
3325 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003326
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003327 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003328
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003329
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003330Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3331images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003332
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003333- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3334- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3335- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003336
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003337By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3338in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3339this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3340
33411. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3342
3343 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3344 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3345 make O=/tmp/build all
3346
33472. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3348
3349 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3350 make distclean
3351 make NAME_config
3352 make all
3353
3354Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003358Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3359for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3360native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003361

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003363If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3364to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3365steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003366
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000033671. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
3368 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
3369 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
3370 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
3371 keep this order.
33722. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3373 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3374 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
33753. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3376 your board
33773. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3378 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
33794. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
33805. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3381 to be installed on your target system.
33826. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3383 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

3387==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003388
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003389If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3390or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003391provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3392the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003393official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003394
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003395But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3396cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003397the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3398just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003399for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3400select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3401environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3402you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003403
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003404 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003405
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003406or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003407
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003408 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003409
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003410When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3411U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3412setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3413built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3414<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3415location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3416variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003417
3418 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3419 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3420 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3421
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003422With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3423log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3424during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003485Environment Variables:
3486======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003487
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003488U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3489can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003490
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003491Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3492"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3493without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3494environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3495working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3496environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003498Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3499
3500List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003501
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003502 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003503

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003505
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003506 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003507
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003508 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003509
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003510 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003511
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003512 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3513 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3514 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3515 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3516 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3517 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003518 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3519 bootm_mapsize.
3520
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003521 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003522 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3523 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3524 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3525 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3526 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3527 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003528
3529 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3530 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3531 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3532 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3533 environment variable.
3534
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02003535 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3536 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3537 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3538
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003539 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3540 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3541 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3542 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003543
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003544 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3545 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3546 be automatically started (by internally calling
3547 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003548
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003549 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3550 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3551 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3552 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3553 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003554
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04003555 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3556 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
3557 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3558 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
3559 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3560 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3561 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3562 must be accessible by the kernel.
3563
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00003564 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3565 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3566 defined.
3567
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003568 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3569 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3570 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3571 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3572 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3573
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003574 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3575 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3576 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3577 is usually what you want since it allows for
3578 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3579 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003580 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003581 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3582 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3583 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3584 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003585
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003586 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3587 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3588 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3589 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3590 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3591 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003592
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003593 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003594
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003595 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3596 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3597 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3598 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3599 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3600 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3601 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00003620 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
3621 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003622
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02003623 => setenv ethact FEC

3626 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003627
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01003628 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3629 available network interfaces.
3630 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3631
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003632 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003633 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3634 When set to "once" the network operation will
3635 fail when all the available network interfaces
3636 are tried once without success.
3637 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3638 themselves.

3647
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003648 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
3649 we use the TFTP server's default block size
3650
3651 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3652 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3653 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3654 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3655 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3656 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3657 with unreliable TFTP servers.

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00003663The following image location variables contain the location of images
3664used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
3665not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
3666variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
3667server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
3668loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
3669flash or offset in NAND flash.
3670
3671*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
3672boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
3673boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003697There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003698
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003699 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
3700 as type string and/or serial number
3701 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003702
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003703These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3704the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3705once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003706
3707
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003708Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003709
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003710 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3711 with the "version" command. This variable is

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003722There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3723the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003725Old, simple command line parser:
3726--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003727
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003728- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3729- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003730- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003731- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3732 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003733 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003734- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3735 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

3738-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003739
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003740- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3741 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3742 until...do...done, ...
3743- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3744 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3745 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3746 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003747
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003748General rules:
3749--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003750
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003751(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3752 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3753 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3754 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003755
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003756(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003757 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003758 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3759 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003761Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3762=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003763
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003764Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003765such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3766"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003767
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003768Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3769MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3770"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003771
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003772If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3773in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3774ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3775variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003776
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003777o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3778 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003779
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003780o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3781 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3782 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003783
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003784o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3785 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003786
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003787o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
3788 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
3789 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003790
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003791o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3792 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003793
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07003794If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003795will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07003796may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
3797The naming convention is as follows:
3798"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003799
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003800Image Formats:
3801==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003802
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003803U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3804images in two formats:
3805
3806New uImage format (FIT)
3807-----------------------
3808
3809Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3810to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3811components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3812SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3813
3814
3815Old uImage format
3816-----------------
3817
3818Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3819preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3820details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003841Linux Support:
3842==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003843
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003844Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3845easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3846U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003847
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003848U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3849special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3850"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3851instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3852serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003853
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003854- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3855 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3856 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003857
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003858- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3859 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003860
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003861- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3862 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3863 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3864 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3865 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3866 software is easier now.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003872Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3873---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003874
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003875U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3876configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3877(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3878Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003879
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02003880But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003881
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003882Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3883include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02003884Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3885and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003886as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003889Configuring the Linux kernel:
3890-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003891
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003892No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3893device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003896Building a Linux Image:
3897-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003898
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003899With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3900not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3901"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3902U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3903which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3904100% compatible format.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003907
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003908 make TQM850L_config
3909 make oldconfig
3910 make dep
3911 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003912
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003913The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3914encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
3915CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003916
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003917* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003918
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003919* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003920
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003921 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3922 -R .note -R .comment \
3923 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003924
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003925* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003926
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003927 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003928
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003929* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003930
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003931 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3932 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3933 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003934
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003935
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003936The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3937with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3938combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3939byte header containing information about target architecture,
3940operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3941stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003942
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003943"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3944print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003945
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003946In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3947contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3948checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003949
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003950 tools/mkimage -l image
3951 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003952
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003953The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3954from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003955
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003956 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
3957 -n name -d data_file image
3958 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
3959 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
3960 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
3961 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
3962 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
3963 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
3964 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
3965 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003966
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00003967Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3968address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3969kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003970
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003971- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3972- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003973
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003974So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003975

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004029Installing a Linux Image:
4030-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00004031
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004032To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4033you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00004034
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004035 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00004036
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004037The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4038image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4039address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4040specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4041command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004042
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004043Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4044TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

4163First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
4164titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
4165following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
4166flat device tree:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004209More About U-Boot Image Types:
4210------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004211
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004212U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00004213
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004214 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4215 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4216 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4217 the Standalone Program.
4218 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4219 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4220 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4221 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4222 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4223 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4224 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4225 being started.
4226 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4227 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4228 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4229 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4230 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4231 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004232
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004233 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4234 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4235 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4236 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4237 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4238 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004239
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004240 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4241 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4242 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004243
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004244 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4245 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4246 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4247 as command interpreter.

4251=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004252
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004253One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4254run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4255U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004256
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004257Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004261
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004262'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4263application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4264It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4265like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004291Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4292handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4293Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4294The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4295character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4296controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004297

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004341Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4342"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4343consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4344Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4345especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
4346use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).

4357=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004358
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004359Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4360(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004361
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004362Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4363NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4364need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4365Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4366attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4367missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004368
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004369 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4370 # mkdir powerpc
4371 # ln -s powerpc machine
4372 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4373 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004374
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004375Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4376and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004377
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004378Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4379stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4380proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4381tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

4386=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004387
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004388The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4389implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4390inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4391hardware.

4395---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004396
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004397The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4398starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4399system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4400This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4401is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4402at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4403options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4404models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4405MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4406locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004407

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004416 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4417 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4418 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4419 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4420 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004421 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004422 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4423 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004425 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4426 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004427 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004428 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4429 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4430 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4431 used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004433 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004434 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4435 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02004436 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004437 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4438 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4439 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4440 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4441 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004453 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4454 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004455
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004456* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4457 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004458
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004459Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4460normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4461turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4462simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4463functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4464functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4465the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4466place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4467reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004468
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004469When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4470relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4471GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004472
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004473For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4474 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004475 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004476 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4477 R5-R10: parameter passing
4478 R13: small data area pointer
4479 R30: GOT pointer
4480 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004481
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01004482 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4483 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4484 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004485
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004486 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004487
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004488 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4489 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4490 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4491 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4492 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4493 624 text + 127 data).

Robin Getzc4db3352009-08-17 15:23:02 +00004495On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004513
Thomas Chou0df01fd2010-05-21 11:08:03 +08004514On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
4515 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
4516
4517 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4518
4519 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4520 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
4521
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004522On NDS32, the following registers are used:
4523
4524 R0-R1: argument/return
4525 R2-R5: argument
4526 R15: temporary register for assembler
4527 R16: trampoline register
4528 R28: frame pointer (FP)
4529 R29: global pointer (GP)
4530 R30: link register (LP)
4531 R31: stack pointer (SP)
4532 PC: program counter (PC)
4533
4534 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
4535
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02004536NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
4537or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004539Memory Management:
4540------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004541
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004542U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4543MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004544
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004545The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4546controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4547memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4548physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004549
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004550U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4551TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4552booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4553to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004554memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004555configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4556Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004557
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004558Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4559of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004560
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004561So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4562this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004563
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004564 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
4565 :
4566 0x0000 1FFF
4567 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
4568 :
4569 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004570
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004571 :
4572 :
4573 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4574 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
4575 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
4576 :
4577 0x00FD FFFF
4578 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
4579 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
4580 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4581 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004582
4583
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004584System Initialization:
4585----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004586
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004587In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004588(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004589configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
4590To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4591To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4592initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
4593which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
4594part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
4595the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004596
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004597Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4598preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4599(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4600on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4601programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4602simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4603banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004604
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004605When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4606different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4607bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
46080x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4609contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004610
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004611Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4612and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4613Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4614pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004615
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004616Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4617until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4618running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4619new address in RAM.

4734
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004735When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4736it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004737
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004738* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
4739 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
4740 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004741
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004742* For new features: a description of the feature and your
4743 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004744
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004745* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
4746
4747* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
4748
4749* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00004750 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004751
4752* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4753 document these in the README file.
4754
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004755* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
4756 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00004757 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004758 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
4759 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004760
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004761 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
4762 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
4763 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004764
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004765 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
4766 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
4767 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
4768 affected files).
4769
4770 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
4771 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004772
4773* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4774 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
4775
4776* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4777 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
4778
4779
4780Notes:
4781
4782* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
4783 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
4784 for any of the boards.
4785
4786* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
4787 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
4788 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
4789
4790* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
4791 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
4792 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
4793 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
4794 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
4795 modification.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004797* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
4798 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
4799 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
4800 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
