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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000224Software Configuration:
225=======================
226
227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
229
230There are two classes of configuration variables:
231
232* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
234 "CONFIG_".
235
236* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200239 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000240
241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
245as an example here.
246
247
248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
249---------------------------------------------------
250
251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
253
254Example: For a TQM823L module type:
255
256 cd u-boot
257 make TQM823L_config
258
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
262
263
264Configuration Options:
265----------------------
266
267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
268such information is kept in a configuration file
269"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
270
271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
272"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
273
274
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
277build a config tool - later.
278
279
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000280The following options need to be configured:
281

390
391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
393
394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
398
399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
400 this erratum.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000549 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
550
551 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
552 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
553 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
554 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
555 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
556 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
557 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000558 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100559 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200599 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
600
601 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
602 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
603 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
604 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
605 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
606 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
607

611 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
612 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
613 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
614 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
615 in a single configuration file and the machine type is

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000729 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
730 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
731 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
732
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000733 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
734 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
735 environment 'console=serial'.

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000737 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
738 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
739 the "silent" environment variable. See
740 doc/README.silent for more information.

744 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
745 is 0xa0.
746
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000747- Console Baudrate:
748 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
749 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200750 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
751 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100753- Console Rx buffer length
754 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
755 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100756 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100757 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
758 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
759 the SMC.
760
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000761- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200762 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
763 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
764 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
765 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
766 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
767 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
768 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200769 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200770 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000771
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200772 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
773 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000774
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000775- Safe printf() functions
776 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
777 the printf() functions. These are defined in
778 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
779 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
780 If this option is not given then these functions will
781 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
782 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
783
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000784- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
785 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
786 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000787 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
788 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000789
790 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
791 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
792 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
793 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
794 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
795 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
796 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
797 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
798 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
799 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
800 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
801 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
802
803- Autoboot Command:
804 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
805 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
806 define a command string that is automatically executed
807 when no character is read on the console interface
808 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
809
810 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000811 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
812 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
813 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000814
815 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000816 The value of these goes into the environment as
817 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
818 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200819 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000820
821- Pre-Boot Commands:
822 CONFIG_PREBOOT
823
824 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
825 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
826 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
827 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
828 entering interactive mode.
829
830 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
831 automatically generated or modified. For an example
832 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
833 modified when the user holds down a certain
834 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
835 booting the systems
836
837- Serial Download Echo Mode:
838 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
839 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
840 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
841 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
842 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
843 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
844 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
845

851- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500852 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
853 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000854 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
855 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500856 and augmenting with additional #define's
857 for wanted commands.

976 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
977 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
978 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
979 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
980 initial stack and some data.

994 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
995 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
996 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
997 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
998 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
999
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001000 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1001 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001002
1003 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1004 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1005 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1006 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1007 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1008 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001009
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001010 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1011 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1012 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1013 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1014
1015 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1016
1017 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1018 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1019 still use the individual files if you need something more
1020 exotic.
1021
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001022- Watchdog:
1023 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1024 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001025 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1026 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1027 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1028 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1029 available, then no further board specific code should
1030 be needed to use it.
1031
1032 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1033 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1034 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1035 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.

1038 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1039 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1040 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1041 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001042 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1043 next reset.

1335 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1336 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1337 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001338 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001339 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1340 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denk386eda02006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001341 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001342 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1343 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1344 a Linux host by
1345 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1346 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1347 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1348 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

Przemyslaw Marczak351e9b22013-10-23 14:30:46 +02001404 Some USB device drivers may need to check USB cable attachment.
1405 In this case you can enable following config in BoardName.h:
1406 CONFIG_USB_CABLE_CHECK
1407 This enables function definition:
1408 - usb_cable_connected() in include/usb.h
1409 Implementation of this function is board-specific.
1410
Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001411- ULPI Layer Support:
1412 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1413 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1414 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1415 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1416 viewport is supported.
1417 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1418 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001419 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1420 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1421 the appropriate value in Hz.

1455
Afzal Mohammeda9479f02013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301456 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1457 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1458 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1459 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1460 one that would help mostly the developer.
1461
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001462 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1463 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1464 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1465 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1466 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1467
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001468 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1469 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1470 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1471 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1472 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1473 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001652 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1653
1654 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1655 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1656 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1657 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1658 a per-section basis.
1659
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001660 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1661
1662 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1663 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1664 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1665 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001666
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001667 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1668
1669 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1670
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001671 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1672
1673 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1674 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1675
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001676- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001677
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001678 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1679 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1680 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001681 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001682 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1683 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1684 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1685 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001686
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001687 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1688
1689 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1690 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1691 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1692 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1693 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1694 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1695 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1696 there is no need to set this option.
1697
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001698 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1699
1700 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1701 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1702 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1703 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1704 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1705 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1706
1707 Example:
1708 setenv splashpos m,m
1709 => image at center of screen
1710
1711 setenv splashpos 30,20
1712 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1713
1714 setenv splashpos -10,m
1715 => vertically centered image
1716 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1717
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001718- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1719
1720 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1721 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1722 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1723
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001724- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1725
1726 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1727 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1728 bmp command.
1729
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001730- Do compresssing for memory range:
1731 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1732
1733 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1734 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1735
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001736- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001737 CONFIG_GZIP
1738
1739 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1740
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001741 CONFIG_BZIP2
1742
1743 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1744 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1745 compressed images are supported.
1746
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001747 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001748 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001749 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001750
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001751 CONFIG_LZMA
1752
1753 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1754 images is included.
1755
1756 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1757 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1758 formula:
1759
1760 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1761
1762 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1763 and Literal pos bits.
1764
1765 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1766 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1767 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1768 a very small buffer.
1769
1770 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1771 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001772 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001773
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001774 CONFIG_LZO
1775
1776 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1777 is included.
1778
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001779- MII/PHY support:
1780 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1781
1782 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1783
1784 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1785
1786 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1787
1788 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1789
1790 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001791 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001792
1793 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1794
1795 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1796 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1797 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1798 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1799
1800 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1801
1802 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1803 command issued before MII status register can be read

1841 default router where packets to other networks are
1842 sent to.
1843 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1844
1845- Subnet mask:
1846 CONFIG_NETMASK
1847
1848 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1849 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1850 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1851 forwarded through a router.
1852 (Environment variable "netmask")
1853
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001854- Multicast TFTP Mode:

1856
1857 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1858 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001859 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001860 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1861 multicast group.
1862
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001863- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1864 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1865
1866 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1867 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1868 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1869 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1870 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1871 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1873 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001874 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001875
1876 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1877 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001900 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1901 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001902
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001903 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1904 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1905 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1906 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1907 is not available.
1908
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001909 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1910 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1911 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1912 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1913 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1914 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1915 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001916 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001917
1918 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1919 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1920 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001921 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001922 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1923 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001925 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1926
1927 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1928 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1929 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1930 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1931 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1932 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1933 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1934 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1935 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1936 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1937 this delay.
1938
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001939 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1940 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1941 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1942 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1943 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

1956
1957 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1958
1959 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1960 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001961 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001989- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1990
1991 Several configurations allow to display the current
1992 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1993 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1994 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1995 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1996 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1997 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1998 feature in U-Boot.
1999
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002000 Additional options:
2001
2002 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2003 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2004 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2005 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED

Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002008 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2009 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2010 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2011 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2012 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2013 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

2142 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2143 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.

2145 omit this define.
2146
2147 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2148 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2149 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2150 define.
2151
2152 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2153 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2154 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2155 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002183
2184 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2185 provides the following compelling advantages:
2186
2187 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2188 - approved multibus support
2189 - better i2c mux support
2190
2191 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2192
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002193 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2194 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2195 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002196
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002197 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot

2200 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002201 command line interface.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002204
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002205 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002206 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002207
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002208 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002209 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002210 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002211 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002212
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002213 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002214 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002215 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2216 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2217 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002218
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002219 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2220
2221 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2222 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2223 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2224 commands until the slave device responds.
2225
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002226 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2288 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2289 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002290 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002291 like:
2292
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002293 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002294
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002295 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2296
2297 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2298 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2299 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2300 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2301
2302 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2303 the generic GPIO functions.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002305 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002306
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002307 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2308 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2309 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2310 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2311 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2312 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2313 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2314 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002315
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002316 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2317
2318 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2319 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2320 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2321 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2322 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2323 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2324 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2325 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2326
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002327 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2328
2329 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2330 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2331 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2332
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002333 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2334
2335 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002336 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2337 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002338 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2339
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002340 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002341
2342 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002343 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002344 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2345 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002346
2347 e.g.

Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002349 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002350
2351 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2352
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002353 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002355
2356 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1

2360 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2361 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.

Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002374
2375 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2376 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2377 specified DTT device.
2378
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002379 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2380
2381 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2382 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2383 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2384 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2385 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2386 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2387 the other.

2408 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2409 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2410 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2411 defined, the board configuration must define several
2412 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2413 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002492 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2493 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002494
2495- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2496
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002497 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2498 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002499 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002500 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2501 protects these variables from casual modification by
2502 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2503 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002504 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002505
2506 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2507 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002508 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002509 these parameters.
2510
2511 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2512 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002513 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002514 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2515 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2516 read-only.]
2517
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002518 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2519 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2520 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2521 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2522
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002523- Protected RAM:
2524 CONFIG_PRAM
2525
2526 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2527 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2528 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2529 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2530 this default value by defining an environment
2531 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2532 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2533 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2534 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2535 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2536 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2537 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2538
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002539 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002540 saveenv
2541
2542 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2543 either, which results in a memory region that will
2544 not be affected by reboots.
2545
2546 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2547 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2548 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2549 following board configurations are known to be
2550 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002556- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2557 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2558 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2559 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2560 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2561 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2562 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002564- Error Recovery:
2565 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2566
2567 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2568 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2569 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002570 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002571 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2572 useful during development since you can try to debug
2573 the conditions that lead to the situation.

2575 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2576
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002577 This variable defines the number of retries for
2578 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2579 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2580 default value of 5 is used.

Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002598 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2599 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002600
2601
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002602 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002603
2604 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2605 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2606 powerful command line syntax like
2607 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2608 constructs ("shell scripts").
2609
2610 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2611 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2612
2613
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002614 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002615
2616 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2617 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2618 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2619
2620 Note:
2621
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002622 In the current implementation, the local variables
2623 space and global environment variables space are
2624 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2625 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2626 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2627 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2628 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002629
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002630 Global environment variables are those you use
2631 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2632 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2633 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002634
2635 To store commands and special characters in a
2636 variable, please use double quotation marks
2637 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2638 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2639 symbols.

Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002641- Commandline Editing and History:
2642 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2643
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002644 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002645 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002646
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002647- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002648 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2649
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002650 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2651 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002652 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002653
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002654 For example, place something like this in your
2655 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002656
2657 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2658 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2659 "myvar2=value2\0"
2660
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002661 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2662 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2663 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2664 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002665 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002666 You better know what you are doing here.
2667
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002668 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2669 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002670 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002671 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002672
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002673 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2674
2675 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2676 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2677 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2678
2679 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2680
2681 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2682 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2683 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2684 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2685 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2686
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002687 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2688
2689 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2690 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2691 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2692
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002693 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2694
2695 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2696 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2697 that so that the environment is not available until
2698 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2699 this is instead controlled by the value of
2700 /config/load-environment.
2701
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002702- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002703 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2704
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002705 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2706 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2707 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002708
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002709- Serial Flash support
2710 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2711
2712 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2713 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2714
2715 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2716 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2717 commands.
2718
2719 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2720 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2721 flash is present on the system.
2722
2723 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2724 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2725 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2726 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2727
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002728 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2729
2730 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2731 test ('sf test').
2732
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302733 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2734
2735 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2736 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2737
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002738- SystemACE Support:
2739 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2740
2741 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2742 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002743 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002744 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002745
2746 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002747 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002748
2749 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2750 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2751
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002752- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2753 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2754
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002755 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002756 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002757 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002758 number generator is used.
2759
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002760 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2761 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2762 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2763
2764 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002765 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2766 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2767 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2768 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2769 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2770 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2771
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002772- Hashing support:
2773 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2774
2775 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2776 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2777
2778 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2779
2780 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2781 size a little.
2782
2783 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2784 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2785
2786 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2787 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2788
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002789- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2790 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2791 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2792 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2793
2794 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2795 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2796 a boot from specific media.
2797
2798 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2799 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2800 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2801 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2802 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2803
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002804- Signing support:
2805 CONFIG_RSA
2806
2807 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2808 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2809
2810 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2811 option.
2812
2813
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002814- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002815 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2816
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002817 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2818 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2819 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2820 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2821 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2822 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002823
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002824- Detailed boot stage timing
2825 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2826 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2827 of the boot process.
2828
2829 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2830 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2831 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2832 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2833 the limit, recording will stop.
2834
2835 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2836 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2837
2838 Timer summary in microseconds:
2839 Mark Elapsed Stage
2840 0 0 reset
2841 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2842 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2843 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2844 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2845 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2846 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2847 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2848
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002849 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2850 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2851 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2852
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002853 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2854 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2855 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2856 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2857 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2858 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2859 For example:
2860
2861 bootstage {
2862 154 {
2863 name = "board_init_f";
2864 mark = <3575678>;
2865 };
2866 170 {
2867 name = "lcd";
2868 accum = <33482>;
2869 };
2870 };
2871
2872 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003297 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
Benoît Thébaudeau6113d3f2013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003298 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3299 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3300 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3301 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3302 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003303
Scott Woodca2fca22012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003304 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3305 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3306 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3307 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3308
Simon Glass87ebee32013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003309 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3310 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3311 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3312 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3313 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003326Modem Support:
3327--------------
3328
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003329[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003330
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003331- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003332 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3333
3334- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3335 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3336
3337- Modem debug support:
3338 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3339
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003340 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3341 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003342
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003343- Interrupt support (PPC):
3344
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003345 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3346 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003347 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003348 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003349 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003350 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003351 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003352 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3353 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3354 general timer_interrupt().
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003355
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003356- General:
3357
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003358 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3359 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3360 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003361 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003362 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3363 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3364 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003365
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003366 If there are no modem init strings in the
3367 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3368 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003369 suppressed, though.

3374------------------------------
3375
3376During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3377to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3378before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3379following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3380architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3381typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3382
3383- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3384- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3385- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003416- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003417 If the board specific function
3418 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3419 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003420 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3421

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003432- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003433 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003434
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003435- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:

3437 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3438
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003439- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3440 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003441 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003442 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003443 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3444 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3445 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003446 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003447 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003448 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003449
3450 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3451 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3452 be touched.
3453
3454 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3455 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3456 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3457 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3458 problems.

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003538 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3539 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3540
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003541- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003542
3543 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3544 without this option such a download has to be
3545 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3546 copy from RAM to flash.
3547
3548 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3549 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003550 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3551 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003552 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003554- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003555 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003556 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003562- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3563 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3564 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3565 to the MTD layer.

Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003575 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3576 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3577 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3578 optionally available.
3579
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003580- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3581 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3582 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3583 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3584
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003585- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3586 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3587 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3588 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3589 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3590 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3591 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3592 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3593
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003594- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003595 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3596 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003597 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3598 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003599 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003600 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

3611- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003612 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003613 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3614 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3615 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3616
3617 The format of the list is:
3618 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003619 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]

Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003621 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3622 list = entry[,list]
3623
3624 The type attributes are:
3625 s - String (default)
3626 d - Decimal
3627 x - Hexadecimal
3628 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3629 i - IP address
3630 m - MAC address
3631
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003632 The access attributes are:
3633 a - Any (default)
3634 r - Read-only
3635 o - Write-once

3637
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003638 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3639 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3640 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3641
3642 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3643 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3644 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3645 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3646 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3647 ".flags" variable.
3648
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003649- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3650 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3651 access flags.
3652
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003653- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3654 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3655 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3656 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3657 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3658 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3659 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3660 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3661 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3662
Simon Glass632efa72013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003663- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3664 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3665 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3666 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3667 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3668
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003669- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3670 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3671 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3672 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003674The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3675of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3676following configurations:
3677
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003678- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3679
3680 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3681 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3682
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003683- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003684
3685 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3686
3687 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3688 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3689 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3690 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3691 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3692 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3693 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3694 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3695 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3696 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3697 between U-Boot and the environment.
3698
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003699 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003700
3701 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3702 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3703 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3704 for this sector is given here.
3705
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003706 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003707
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003708 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003709
3710 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3711 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003712 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003713
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003714 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003715
3716 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3717
3718
3719 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3720 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3721 the environment.
3722
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003723 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003724
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003725 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003726 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003727 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3728 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3729
3730 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3731 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3732 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3733 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3734 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3735 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3736 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3737 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3738 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3739
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003740 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3741 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003742
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003743 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003744 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003745 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003746 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003747
3748BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3749source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3750accordingly!
3751
3752
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003753- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003754
3755 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3756 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3757 environment.
3758
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003759 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3760 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003761
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003762 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003763 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3764 can just be read and written to, without any special
3765 provision.
3766
3767BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3768in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003769console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003770U-Boot will hang.
3771
3772Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3773environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3774keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3775to save the current settings.
3776
3777
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003778- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003779
3780 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3781 device and a driver for it.
3782
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003783 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3784 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003785
3786 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3787 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3788
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003789 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003790 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3791 The default address is zero.
3792
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003793 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003794 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3795 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3796 would require six bits.
3797
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003798 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003799 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003800 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003801
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003802 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003803 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3804 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3805
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003806 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003807 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3808 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3809 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3810 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3811 byte chips.
3812
3813 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3814 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3815 in the chip address.
3816
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003817 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003818 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.

Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003820 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3821 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3822 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3823
3824 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3825 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3826 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3827 EEPROM. For example:
3828
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003829 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003830
3831 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3832 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003835
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003836 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003837 want to use for the environment.
3838
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003839 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3840 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3841 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003842
3843 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3844 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3845 at the specified address.
3846
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003847- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3848
3849 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3850 want to use for the local device's environment.
3851
3852 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3853 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3854
3855 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3856 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3857 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003858 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003859
3860BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3861"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003862environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3863but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003865- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003866
3867 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3868 for the environment.
3869
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003870 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3871 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003872
3873 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003874 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3875 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003876
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003877 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003878
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003879 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003880 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3881 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003882 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003883 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003884
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003885 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3886
3887 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3888 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3889 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3890 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3891 the range to be avoided.
3892
3893 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3894
3895 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3896 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3897 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3898 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3899 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003900
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003901- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3902
3903 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3904 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3905 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3906
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003907- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3908
3909 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3910 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3911 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3912
3913 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3914
3915 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3916
3917 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3918
3919 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3920 environment in.
3921
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003922 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3923
3924 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3925 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3926 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3927
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003928 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3929 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3930
3931 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3932 when storing the env in UBI.
3933
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003934- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3935
3936 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3937 environment.
3938
3939 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3940
3941 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3942
3943 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3944
3945 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3946 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3947 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3948
3949 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3950 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3951
3952 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3953 area within the specified MMC device.
3954
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003955 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3956 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3957 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3958 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3959 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3960 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3961 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3962
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003963 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3964 MMC sector boundary.
3965
3966 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3967
3968 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3969 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3970 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3971 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3972
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003973 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3974 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3975
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003976 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3977 an MMC sector boundary.
3978
3979 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3980
3981 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3982 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3983 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3984
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003985- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003986
3987 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3988 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3989 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3990 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3991 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3992 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3993 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3994
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003995Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003996has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003997created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003998until then to read environment variables.
3999
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004000The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4001is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4002with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4003necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4004"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4005have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004006
4007Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4008the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004009use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004010
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004011- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004013
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004014 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004015 also needs to be defined.
4016
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004017- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004018 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004019
Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004020- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4021 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4022 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4023 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4024 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4025 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4026
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004027- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4028 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4029 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4030 to do this.
4031
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004032- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4033 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4034 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4035 present.

4042
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004043- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004044 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004045
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004046 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4047 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4048 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004050- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4051 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4052 PowerPC SOCs.
4053
4054- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4055 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4056 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4057
4058 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4059 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4060
4061- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4062 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4063 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004064 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004065 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4066 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4067 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4068
4069 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4070 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4071
4072- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004073 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4074 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004075 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4076 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4077
4078- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4079 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4080 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4081 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4082
4083- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4084 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4085 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004099 defines the offset of register from address. It
4100 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004143 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4144 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004145 data is located at the end of the available space
Wolfgang Denk553f0982010-10-26 13:32:32 +02004146 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004147 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4148 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4149 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004150
4151 Note:
4152 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4153 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004154 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004155 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4156 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004299- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4300 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4301
4302- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4303 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004304 to the given FEC; i. e.
4305 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004306 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4307
4308 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4309
4310- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4311 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4312 (so program the FEC to ignore it).

4334 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4335 "md/mw" commands.
4336 Examples:
4337
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004338 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004339 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.

wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004341 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004342 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4343
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004344 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004345 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004348 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004349 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4350 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4351 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004352
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004353 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4354 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4355 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4356 these initializations itself.

4366 It is loaded by the SPL.
4367
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004368- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4369 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4370 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4371 previous 4k of the .text section.
4372
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004373- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4374 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4375 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4376 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4377 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4378 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4379 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4380 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4381
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004382- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4383 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4384 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4385 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4386 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4387
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004388- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4389 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4390 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004391
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004392- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004397Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4398-----------------------------------
4399
4400The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4401loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4402This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4403are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4404within that device.
4405
4406- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4407 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4408 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4409 is also specified.
4410
4411- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4412 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4413 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4414 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4415 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4416
4417- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4418 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004441Building the Software:
4442======================
4443
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004444Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4445and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4446all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4447(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4448recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4449which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004450
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004451If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4452have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4453you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4454Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4455necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004456
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004457 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4458 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004459
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004460Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4461 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4462 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4463 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4464
4465 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4466
4467 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4468 be executed on computers running Windows.
4469
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004470U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4471sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004472is done by typing:
4473
4474 make NAME_config
4475
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004476where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004477rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004478
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004479Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4480 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4481 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4482 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004483 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004484
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004485 make TQM823L_config
4486 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004487
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004488 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4489 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004490
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004491 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004492
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004493
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004494Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4495images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004496
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004497- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4498- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4499- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004500
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004501By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4502in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4503this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4504
45051. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4506
4507 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4508 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4509 make O=/tmp/build all
4510
45112. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4512
4513 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4514 make distclean
4515 make NAME_config
4516 make all
4517
4518Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4519variable.
4520
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004521
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004522Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4523for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4524native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004525
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004526
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004527If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4528to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4529steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004530
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000045311. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004532 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4533 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000045342. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4535 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4536 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
45373. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4538 your board
45393. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4540 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
45414. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
45425. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4543 to be installed on your target system.
45446. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4545 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004548Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4549==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004550
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004551If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4552or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004553provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4554the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004555official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004556
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004557But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4558cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004559the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4560just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004561for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4562select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4563environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4564you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004565
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004566 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004567
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004568or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004569
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004570 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004571
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004572When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4573U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4574setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4575built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4576<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4577location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4578variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004579
4580 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4581 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4582 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4583
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004584With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4585log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4586during the whole build process.

4650======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004651
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004652U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4653can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004654
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004655Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4656"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4657without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4658environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4659working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4660environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

4678 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4679 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4680 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4681 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux

Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004686 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4687 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4688 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4689 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4690 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4691 used otherwise.

4709 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4710 be automatically started (by internally calling
4711 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004712
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004713 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4714 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4715 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4716 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4717 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004718
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004719 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4720 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004721 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4722 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4723 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4724 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4725 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4726 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4727 access it during the boot procedure.
4728
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004729 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4730 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4731 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4732 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4733 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4734 must be accessible by the kernel.
4735
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004736 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4737 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4738 defined.
4739
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004740 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4741 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4742 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4743 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4744 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4745
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004746 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4747 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4748 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4749 is usually what you want since it allows for
4750 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4751 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004752 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004753 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4754 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4755 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4756 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004757
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004758 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4759 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4760 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4761 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4762 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4763 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004764
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004765 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004766
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004767 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4768 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4769 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4770 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4771 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4772 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4773 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004792 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4793 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004794
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004795 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004800 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4801 available network interfaces.
4802 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4803
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004804 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004805 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4806 When set to "once" the network operation will
4807 fail when all the available network interfaces
4808 are tried once without success.
4809 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4810 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004811
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004812 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004813
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004814 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4815 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4816 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4817 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4818 is silent.
4819
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004820 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004821 UDP source port.
4822
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004823 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4824 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4825
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004826 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4827 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4828
4829 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4830 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4831 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4832 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4833 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4834 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4835 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4836
4837 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004838 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004841The following image location variables contain the location of images
4842used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4843not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4844variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4845server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4846loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4847flash or offset in NAND flash.
4848
4849*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4850boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4851boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004860The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4861updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4862depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004863
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004864 bootfile - see above
4865 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4866 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4867 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4868 hostname - Target hostname
4869 ipaddr - see above
4870 netmask - Subnet Mask
4871 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4872 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004873
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004874
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004875There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004876
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004877 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4878 as type string and/or serial number
4879 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004880
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004881These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4882the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4883once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004884
4885
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004886Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004887
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004888 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4889 with the "version" command. This variable is
4890 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004891
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004892
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004893Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4894only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004897Callback functions for environment variables:
4898---------------------------------------------
4899
4900For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4901when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4902be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4903deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4904effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4905
4906The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4907U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4908
4909These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4910static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4911in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4912associations. The list must be in the following format:
4913
4914 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4915 list = entry[,list]
4916
4917If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4918Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4919
4920Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4921with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4922override any association in the static list. You can define
4923CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4924".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4928=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004929
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004930There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4931the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004932
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004933Old, simple command line parser:
4934--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004935
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004936- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4937- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004938- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004939- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4940 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004941 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004942- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4943 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004944

4946-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004947
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004948- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4949 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4950 until...do...done, ...
4951- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4952 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4953 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4954 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004955
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004956General rules:
4957--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004958
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4960 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4961 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4962 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004963
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004964(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004965 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004966 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4967 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004969Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4970=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004971
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004972Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004973such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4974"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004975
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004976Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4977MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4978"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004979
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004980If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4981in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4982ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4983variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004984
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004985o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4986 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004987
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004988o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4989 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4990 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004991
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004992o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005008Image Formats:
5009==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005010
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005011U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5012images in two formats:
5013
5014New uImage format (FIT)
5015-----------------------
5016
5017Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5018to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5019components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5020SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5021
5022
5023Old uImage format
5024-----------------
5025
5026Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5027preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5028details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005048
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005049Linux Support:
5050==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005052Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5053easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5054U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005055
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005056U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5057special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5058"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5059instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5060serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005061
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005062- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5063 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5064 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005065
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005066- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5067 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005068
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005069- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5070 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5071 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5072 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5073 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5074 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005075

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005077Linux HOWTO:
5078============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005079
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005080Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5081---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005082
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005083U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5084configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5085(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5086Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005087
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005088But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005089
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005090Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5091include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005092Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5093and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005094as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005095
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005096
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005097Configuring the Linux kernel:
5098-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005099
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005100No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5101device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005102
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005103
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005104Building a Linux Image:
5105-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005106
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005107With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5108not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5109"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5110U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5111which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5112100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005113
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005114Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005115
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005116 make TQM850L_config
5117 make oldconfig
5118 make dep
5119 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005120
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005121The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5122encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5123CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005124
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005125* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005126
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005127* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5130 -R .note -R .comment \
5131 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005132
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005133* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005134
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005135 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005136
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005137* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005138
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005139 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5140 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5141 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005142
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005143
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5145with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5146combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5147byte header containing information about target architecture,
5148operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5149stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005150
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005151"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5152print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005153
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005154In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5155contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5156checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005157
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005158 tools/mkimage -l image
5159 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005160
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005161The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5162from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005163
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005164 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5165 -n name -d data_file image
5166 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5167 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5168 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5169 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5170 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5171 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5172 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5173 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005174
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005175Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5176address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5177kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005178
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005179- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5180- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005181
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005182So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005183

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005240To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5241you must convert the image to S-Record format:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005245The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5246image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5247address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5248specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5249command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005417More About U-Boot Image Types:
5418------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005419
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005420U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005421
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005422 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5423 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5424 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5425 the Standalone Program.
5426 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5427 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5428 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5429 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5430 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5431 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5432 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5433 being started.
5434 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5435 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5436 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5437 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5438 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5439 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005440
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005441 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5442 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5443 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5444 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5445 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5446 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005447
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005448 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5449 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5450 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005451
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005452 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5453 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5454 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5455 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005457Booting the Linux zImage:
5458-------------------------
5459
5460On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5461using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5462as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5463
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005464Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005465kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5466address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5467format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005473One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5474run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5475U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005476

5483application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5484It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5485like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005511Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5512handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5513Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5514The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5515character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5516controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005582Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5583(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005584
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005585Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5586NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5587need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5588Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5589attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5590missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005591
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005592 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005598Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5599and U-Boot include files.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005601Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5602stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5603proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5604tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5609=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005610
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005611The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5612implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5613inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5614hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005617Initial Stack, Global Data:
5618---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005619
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5621starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5622system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5623This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5624is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5625at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5626options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5627models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5628MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5629locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005630
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005631 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005639 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5640 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5641 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5642 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5643 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005644 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005645 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5646 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5649 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005650 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005651 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5652 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5653 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5654 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005655
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005656 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005657 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5658 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005659 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005660 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5661 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5662 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5663 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5664 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005669It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5670code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005671
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005672* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5673 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005674
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005675* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005676 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5677 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005678
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005679* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5680 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005681
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005682Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5683normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5684turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5685simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5686functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5687functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5688the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5689place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5690reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005691
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005692When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5693relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5694GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005695
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005696For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5697 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005698 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005699 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5700 R5-R10: parameter passing
5701 R13: small data area pointer
5702 R30: GOT pointer
5703 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005704
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005705 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5706 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5707 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005710
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005711 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5712 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5713 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5714 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5715 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5716 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764Memory Management:
5765------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005766
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005767U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5768MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005769
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005770The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5771controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5772memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5773physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005774
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005775U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5776TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5777booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5778to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005779memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005780configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5781Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005782
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005783Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5784of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005785
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005786So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5787this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005788

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005812In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005813(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005814configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5815To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5816To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5817initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5818which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5819part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5820the caches and the SIU.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005822Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5823preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5824(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5825on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5826programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5827simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5828banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005829
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005830When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5831different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5832bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
58330x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5834contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005835
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005836Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5837and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5838Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5839pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005840
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005841Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5842until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5843running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5844new address in RAM.

5922-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005923
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005924All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005925coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005926"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005927
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005928Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5929MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5930reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5931sources.
5932
5933Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5934Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5935in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005936
5937Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5938- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005939- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005940- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005941- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005942- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5943
5944Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5945with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005951Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5952establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5953may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005954
Magnus Lilja0d28f342008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005955Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005957Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5958see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5959
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005960When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5961it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005962
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005963* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5964 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5965 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005966
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005967* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5968 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005969
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005970* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5971
5972* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5973
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005974* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5975 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005976
5977* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5978 document these in the README file.
5979
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005980* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5981 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005982 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005983 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5984 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005985
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005986 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5987 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5988 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005989
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005990 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5991 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5992 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5993 affected files).
5994
5995 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5996 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005997
5998* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5999 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6000
6001* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6002 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6003
6004
6005Notes:
6006
6007* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6008 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6009 for any of the boards.
6010
6011* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6012 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6013 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6014
6015* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6016 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6017 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6018 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6019 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6020 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006021
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006022* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6023 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6024 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6025 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
