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

357
358 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
359 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
360 compliance, among other possible reasons.
361
Kumar Gala66412c62011-02-18 05:40:54 -0600362 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
363
364 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
365 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
366 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.

Prabhakar Kushwahaafa6b552012-04-29 23:56:13 +0000373 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
374
375 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
376 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
377 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
378 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
379 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
380 purpose.
381
Scott Wood33eee332012-08-14 10:14:53 +0000382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
383

385 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
387
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
389 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
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.

489
490 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
491 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
492 better code density. For ARM architectures that support

499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
500
501 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
502 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
503 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
504 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
505 set these options unless they apply!
506
Stephen Warren795659d2013-03-27 17:06:41 +0000507- CPU timer options:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000515 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
516
517 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
518 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
519 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
520 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
521 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
522 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
523 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000524 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100525 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200565 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
566
567 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
568 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
569 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
570 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
571 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
572 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
573
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000574 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
575
576 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
577 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
578 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
579 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
580 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
581 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
582 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

636 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
637 this variable to initialize the extra register.
638
639 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
640
641 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000703 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
704 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
705 the "silent" environment variable. See
706 doc/README.silent for more information.

709 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
710 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200711 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100714- Console Rx buffer length
715 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
716 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100717 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100718 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
719 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
720 the SMC.
721
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000722- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200723 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
724 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
725 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
726 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
727 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
728 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
729 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200730 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200731 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000732
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200733 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
734 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000735
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000736- Safe printf() functions
737 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
738 the printf() functions. These are defined in
739 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
740 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
741 If this option is not given then these functions will
742 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
743 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
744
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000745- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
746 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
747 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000748 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
749 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000750
751 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
752 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
753 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
754 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
755 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
756 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
761 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
762 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
763
764- Autoboot Command:
765 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
766 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
767 define a command string that is automatically executed
768 when no character is read on the console interface
769 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
770
771 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000772 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
773 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
774 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000775
776 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000777 The value of these goes into the environment as
778 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
779 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200780 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000781
782- Pre-Boot Commands:
783 CONFIG_PREBOOT
784
785 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
786 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
787 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
788 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
789 entering interactive mode.
790
791 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
792 automatically generated or modified. For an example
793 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
794 modified when the user holds down a certain
795 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
796 booting the systems
797
798- Serial Download Echo Mode:
799 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
800 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
801 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
802 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
803 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
804 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
805 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

812- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500813 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
814 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000815 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
816 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500817 and augmenting with additional #define's
818 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000932
933 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500934 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000935 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
936 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
937 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
938 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
939 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
940 initial stack and some data.

943 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
944
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000945- Regular expression support:
946 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +0200947 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
948 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
949 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
950 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000951
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000952- Device tree:
953 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
954 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
955 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
956 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
957 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
958 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
959
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000960 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
961 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000962
963 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
964 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
965 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
966 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
967 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
968 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000969
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000970 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
971 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
972 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
973 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
974
975 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
976
977 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
978 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
979 still use the individual files if you need something more
980 exotic.
981
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000982- Watchdog:
983 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
984 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000985 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
986 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
987 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR

1301 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denk386eda02006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001302 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001303 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1304 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1305 a Linux host by
1306 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1307 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1308 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1309 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

1366 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1367 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1368 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1369 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1370 viewport is supported.
1371 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1372 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001373 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1374 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1375 the appropriate value in Hz.

Afzal Mohammeda9479f02013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301410 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1411 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1412 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1413 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1414 one that would help mostly the developer.
1415
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001416 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1417 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1418 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1419 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1420 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1421
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001422 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1423 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1424 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1425 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1426 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1427 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1623 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1624
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001625 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1626
1627 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1628 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1629
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001630- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001631
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001632 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1633 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1634 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001635 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001636 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1637 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1638 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1639 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001640
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001641 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1642
1643 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1644 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1645 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1646 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1647 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1648 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1649 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1650 there is no need to set this option.
1651
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001652 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1653
1654 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1655 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1656 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1657 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1658 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1659 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1660
1661 Example:
1662 setenv splashpos m,m
1663 => image at center of screen
1664
1665 setenv splashpos 30,20
1666 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1667
1668 setenv splashpos -10,m
1669 => vertically centered image
1670 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1671
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001672- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1673
1674 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1675 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1676 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1677
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001678- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1679
1680 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1681 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1682 bmp command.
1683
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001684- Do compresssing for memory range:
1685 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1686
1687 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1688 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1689
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001690- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001691 CONFIG_GZIP
1692
1693 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1694
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001695 CONFIG_BZIP2
1696
1697 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1698 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1699 compressed images are supported.
1700
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001701 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001702 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001703 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001704
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001705 CONFIG_LZMA
1706
1707 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1708 images is included.
1709
1710 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1711 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1712 formula:
1713
1714 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1715
1716 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1717 and Literal pos bits.
1718
1719 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1720 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1721 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1722 a very small buffer.
1723
1724 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1725 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001726 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001727
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001728 CONFIG_LZO
1729
1730 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1731 is included.
1732
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001733- MII/PHY support:
1734 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1735
1736 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1737
1738 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1739
1740 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1741
1742 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1743
1744 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001745 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001746
1747 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1748
1749 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1750 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1751 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1752 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1753
1754 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1755
1756 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1757 command issued before MII status register can be read
1758

1780 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1781
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001782 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001783 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001786 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1787
1788 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1789 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1790
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001791- Gateway IP address:
1792 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1793
1794 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1795 default router where packets to other networks are
1796 sent to.
1797 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1798
1799- Subnet mask:
1800 CONFIG_NETMASK
1801
1802 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1803 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1804 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1805 forwarded through a router.
1806 (Environment variable "netmask")
1807
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001808- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1809 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1810
1811 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1812 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001813 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001814 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1815 multicast group.
1816
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001817- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1818 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1819
1820 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1821 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1822 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1823 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1824 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1825 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1826 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1827 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001828 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001829
1830 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1831 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1832 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1833 4th and following
1834 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001853
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001854 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1855 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001856
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001857 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1858 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1859 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1860 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1861 is not available.
1862
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001863 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1864 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1865 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1866 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1867 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1868 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1869 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001870 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001871
1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1873 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1874 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001875 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001876 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1877 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001878
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001879 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1880
1881 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1882 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1883 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1884 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1885 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1886 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1887 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1888 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1889 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1890 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1891 this delay.
1892
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001893 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1894 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1895 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1896 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1897 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1898
1899 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

1909 of the device.
1910
1911 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1912
1913 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1914 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001915 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001943- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1944
1945 Several configurations allow to display the current
1946 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1947 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1948 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1949 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1950 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1951 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1952 feature in U-Boot.
1953
1954- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1955
1956 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1957 on those systems that support this (optional)
1958 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002017 additional defines:
2018
2019 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2020 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2021 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2022 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2023 omit this define.
2024
2025 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2026 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2027 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2028 omit this define.
2029
2030 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2031 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2032 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2033 define.
2034
2035 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2036 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2037 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2038 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2039 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2040
2041 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002065- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002066
2067 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2068 provides the following compelling advantages:
2069
2070 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2071 - approved multibus support
2072 - better i2c mux support
2073
2074 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2075
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002076 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2077 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2078 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002079
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002080 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002081 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002082 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2083 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002084 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002085
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002086 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002087
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002088 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002089 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002090
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002091 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002092 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002093 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002094 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002095
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002096 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002097 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002098 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2099 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2100 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002101
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002102 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2103
2104 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2105 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2106 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2107 commands until the slave device responds.
2108
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002109 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002110
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002111 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002112 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2113 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002114
2115 I2C_INIT
2116
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002117 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002118 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002119
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002120 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002121
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002122 I2C_PORT
2123
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002124 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2125 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2126 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002127
2128 I2C_ACTIVE
2129
2130 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2131 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2132 define can be null.
2133
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002134 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2135
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002136 I2C_TRISTATE
2137
2138 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2139 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2140 define can be null.
2141
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002142 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2143
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002144 I2C_READ
2145
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002146 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2147 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002148
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002149 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2150
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002151 I2C_SDA(bit)
2152
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002153 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2154 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002155
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002156 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002157 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \

wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002159
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002160 I2C_SCL(bit)
2161
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002162 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2163 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002164
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002165 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002166 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002169 I2C_DELAY
2170
2171 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2172 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002173 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002174 like:
2175
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002176 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002177
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002178 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2179
2180 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2181 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2182 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2183 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2184
2185 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2186 the generic GPIO functions.
2187
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002188 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002189
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002190 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2191 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2192 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2193 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2194 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2195 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2196 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2197 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002198
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002199 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2200
2201 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2202 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2203 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2204 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2205 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2206 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2207 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2208 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2209
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002210 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2211
2212 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2213 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2214 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2215
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002216 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2217
2218 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002219 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2220 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002221 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2222
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002223 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002224
2225 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002226 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002227 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2228 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002229
2230 e.g.
2231 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002232 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002233
2234 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2235
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002236 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002237 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002238
2239 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2240
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002241 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002242
2243 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2244 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2245
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002246 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002247
2248 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2249 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2250
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002251 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002252
2253 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2254 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2255
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002256 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002257
2258 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2259 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2260 specified DTT device.
2261
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002262 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2263
2264 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2265 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2266 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2267 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2268 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2269 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2270 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002290 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2291 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2292 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2293 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2294 defined, the board configuration must define several
2295 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2296 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2373 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2374
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002375 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2376 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002377
2378- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2379
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002380 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2381 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002382 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002383 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2384 protects these variables from casual modification by
2385 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2386 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002387 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002388
2389 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2390 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002391 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002392 these parameters.
2393
2394 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2395 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002396 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002397 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2398 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2399 read-only.]
2400
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002401 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2402 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2403 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2404 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2405
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002406- Protected RAM:
2407 CONFIG_PRAM
2408
2409 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2410 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2411 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2412 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2413 this default value by defining an environment
2414 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2415 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2416 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2417 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2418 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2419 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2420 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2421
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002422 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002423 saveenv
2424
2425 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2426 either, which results in a memory region that will
2427 not be affected by reboots.
2428
2429 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2430 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2431 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2432 following board configurations are known to be
2433 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002439- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2440 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2441 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2442 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2443 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2444 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2445 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2446
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002447- Error Recovery:
2448 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2449
2450 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2451 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2452 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002453 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002454 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2455 useful during development since you can try to debug
2456 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2457
2458 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2459
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002460 This variable defines the number of retries for
2461 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2462 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2463 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002464
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002465 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT

2468
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002469 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2470
2471 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2472 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2473 try longer timeout such as
2474 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

2484
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002485 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002486
2487 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2488 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2489 powerful command line syntax like
2490 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2491 constructs ("shell scripts").
2492
2493 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2494 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2495
2496
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002497 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002498
2499 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2500 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2501 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2502
2503 Note:
2504
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002505 In the current implementation, the local variables
2506 space and global environment variables space are
2507 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2508 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2509 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2510 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2511 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002512
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002513 Global environment variables are those you use
2514 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2515 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2516 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002517
2518 To store commands and special characters in a
2519 variable, please use double quotation marks
2520 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2521 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2522 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002531 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2532
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002533 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2534 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002535 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002536
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002537 For example, place something like this in your
2538 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002539
2540 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2541 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2542 "myvar2=value2\0"
2543
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002544 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2545 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2546 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2547 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002548 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002549 You better know what you are doing here.
2550
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002551 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2552 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002553 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002554 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002556 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2557
2558 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2559 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2560 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2561
2562 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2563
2564 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2565 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2566 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2567 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2568 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC

2573 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2574 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2575
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002576 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2577
2578 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2579 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2580 that so that the environment is not available until
2581 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2582 this is instead controlled by the value of
2583 /config/load-environment.

2587
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002588 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2589 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2590 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002591
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002592- Serial Flash support
2593 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2594
2595 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2596 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2597
2598 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2599 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2600 commands.
2601
2602 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2603 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2604 flash is present on the system.
2605
2606 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2607 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2608 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2609 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2610
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002611 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2612
2613 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2614 test ('sf test').
2615
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302616 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2617
2618 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2619 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2620
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002621- SystemACE Support:
2622 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2623
2624 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2625 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002626 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002627 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002628
2629 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002630 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002631
2632 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2633 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2634
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002635- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2636 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2637
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002638 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002639 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002640 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002641 number generator is used.
2642
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002643 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2644 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2645 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2646
2647 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002648 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2649 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2650 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2651 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2652 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2653 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2654
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002655- Hashing support:
2656 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2657
2658 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2659 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2660
2661 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2662
2663 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2664 size a little.
2665
2666 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2667 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2668
2669 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2670 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2671
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002672- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2673 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2674 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2675 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2676
2677 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2678 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2679 a boot from specific media.
2680
2681 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2682 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2683 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2684 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2685 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2686
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002687- Signing support:
2688 CONFIG_RSA
2689
2690 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2691 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2692
2693 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2694 option.
2695
2696
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002697- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002698 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2699
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002700 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2701 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2702 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2703 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2704 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2705 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002706
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002707- Detailed boot stage timing
2708 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2709 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2710 of the boot process.
2711
2712 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2713 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2714 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2715 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2716 the limit, recording will stop.
2717
2718 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2719 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2720
2721 Timer summary in microseconds:
2722 Mark Elapsed Stage
2723 0 0 reset
2724 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2725 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2726 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2727 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2728 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2729 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2730 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2731
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002732 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2733 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2734 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2735
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002736 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2737 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2738 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2739 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2740 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2741 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2742 For example:
2743
2744 bootstage {
2745 154 {
2746 name = "board_init_f";
2747 mark = <3575678>;
2748 };
2749 170 {
2750 name = "lcd";
2751 accum = <33482>;
2752 };
2753 };
2754
2755 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2928
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02002929 This option defines a board specific value for the
2930 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2931 overwriting the architecture dependent default
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02002932 settings.
2933
2934- Frame Buffer Address:
2935 CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2936
2937 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
Wolfgang Denk44a53b52013-01-03 00:43:59 +00002938 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
2939 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2940 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2941 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2942 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2943 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2944 configured panel size.

3221 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3222
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003223 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3224 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003225
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003226- Interrupt support (PPC):
3227
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003228 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3229 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003230 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003231 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003232 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003233 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003234 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003235 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3236 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3237 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003239- General:
3240
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003241 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3242 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3243 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003244 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003245 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3246 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3247 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003248
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003249 If there are no modem init strings in the
3250 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3251 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003252 suppressed, though.

3260to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3261before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3262following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3263architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3264typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3265
3266- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3267- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3268- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3269- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003297 Suppress display of console information at boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003298
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003299- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003300 If the board specific function
3301 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3302 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003303 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3304
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003305- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003306 Enable the call to overwrite_console().

3313 simple memory test.
3314
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003315- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003316 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003317
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003318- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003319 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3320 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3321
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003322- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3323 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003324 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003325 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003326 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3327 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3328 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003329 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003330 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003331 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003332
3333 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3334 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3335 be touched.
3336
3337 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3338 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3339 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3340 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3341 problems.
3342
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003343- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

3355
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003356- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003357 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3358 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk14d0a022010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003359 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003360 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003361
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003362- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003363 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3364 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3365 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3366 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003367
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003368- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003369 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3370
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003371- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003372 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3373 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003374 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003375 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3376
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003377- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003378 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3379 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003380 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3381 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003382 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003383 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003384 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003385 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3386 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3387 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003388
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003389- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3390 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3391 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3392 is enabled.
3393
3394- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3395 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3396 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3397
3398- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3399 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3400 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3401
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003402- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003403 Max number of Flash memory banks
3404
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003405- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003406 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3407
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003408- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003409 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3410
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003411- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003412 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3413
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003414- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003415 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3416
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003417- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003418 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3419
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003420- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003421 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3422 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3423
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003424- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003425
3426 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3427 without this option such a download has to be
3428 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3429 copy from RAM to flash.
3430
3431 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3432 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003433 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3434 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003435 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3436
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003437- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003438 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003439 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3440
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD00b18832008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003441- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003442 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3443 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003444
Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003445- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3446 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3447 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3448 to the MTD layer.
3449
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003450- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski96ef8312008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003451 Use buffered writes to flash.
3452
3453- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3454 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3455 write commands.
3456
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003457- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003458 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3459 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3460 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3461 optionally available.
3462
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003463- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3464 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3465 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3466 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3467
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003468- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3469 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3470 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3471 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3472 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3473 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3474 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3475 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3476
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003477- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003478 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3479 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003480 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3481 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003482 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003483 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3484
Wolfgang Denkea882ba2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003485- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3486
Wolfgang Denk071bc922010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003487 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3488 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3489 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3490 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3491 lib/hashtable.c for details.
Wolfgang Denkea882ba2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003492

Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003521 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3522 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3523 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3524
3525 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3526 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3527 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3528 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3529 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3530 ".flags" variable.

Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003532- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3533 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3534 access flags.
3535
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003536- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3537 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3538 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3539 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3540 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3541 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3542 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3543 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3544 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3545
Simon Glass632efa72013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003546- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3547 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3548 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3549 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3550 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.

Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003552- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3553 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3554 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3555 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003557The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3558of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3559following configurations:
3560
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003561- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3562
3563 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3564 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3565
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003566- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003567
3568 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3569
3570 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3571 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3572 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3573 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3574 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3575 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3576 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3577 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3578 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3579 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3580 between U-Boot and the environment.
3581
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003582 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003583
3584 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3585 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3586 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3587 for this sector is given here.
3588
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003589 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003590
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003591 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003592
3593 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3594 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003595 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003596
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003597 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003598
3599 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3600
3601
3602 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3603 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3604 the environment.
3605
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003606 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003607
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003608 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003609 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003610 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3611 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3612
3613 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3614 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3615 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3616 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3617 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3618 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3619 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3620 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3621 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3622
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003623 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3624 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003625
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003626 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003627 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003628 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003629 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003630
3631BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3632source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3633accordingly!
3634
3635
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003636- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003637
3638 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3639 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3640 environment.
3641
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003642 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3643 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003644
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003645 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003646 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3647 can just be read and written to, without any special
3648 provision.
3649
3650BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3651in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003652console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003653U-Boot will hang.
3654
3655Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3656environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3657keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3658to save the current settings.
3659
3660
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003661- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003662
3663 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3664 device and a driver for it.
3665
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003666 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3667 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003668
3669 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3670 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3671
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003672 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003673 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3674 The default address is zero.
3675
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003676 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003677 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3678 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3679 would require six bits.
3680
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003681 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003682 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003683 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003684
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003685 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003686 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3687 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3688
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003689 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003690 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3691 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3692 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3693 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3694 byte chips.
3695
3696 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3697 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3698 in the chip address.
3699
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003700 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003701 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3702
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003703 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3704 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3705 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3706
3707 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3708 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3709 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3710 EEPROM. For example:
3711
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003712 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003713
3714 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3715 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003716
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD057c8492008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003717- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003718
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003719 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003720 want to use for the environment.
3721
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003722 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3723 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3724 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003725
3726 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3727 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3728 at the specified address.
3729
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003730- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3731
3732 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3733 want to use for the local device's environment.
3734
3735 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3736 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3737
3738 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3739 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3740 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003741 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003742
3743BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3744"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003745environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3746but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003747
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003748- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003749
3750 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3751 for the environment.
3752
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003753 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3754 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003755
3756 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003757 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3758 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003759
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003760 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003761
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003762 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003763 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3764 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003765 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003766 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003767
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003768 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3769
3770 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3771 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3772 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3773 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3774 the range to be avoided.
3775
3776 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3777
3778 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3779 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3780 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3781 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3782 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003783
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003784- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3785
3786 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3787 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3788 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3789
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003790- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3791
3792 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3793 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3794 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3795
3796 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3797
3798 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3799
3800 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3801
3802 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3803 environment in.
3804
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003805 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3806
3807 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3808 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3809 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3810
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003811 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3812 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3813
3814 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3815 when storing the env in UBI.
3816
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003817- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3818
3819 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3820 environment.
3821
3822 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3823
3824 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3825
3826 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3827
3828 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3829 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3830 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3831
3832 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3833 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3834
3835 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3836 area within the specified MMC device.
3837
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003838 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3839 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3840 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3841 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3842 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3843 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3844 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3845
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003846 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3847 MMC sector boundary.
3848
3849 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3850
3851 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3852 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3853 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3854 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3855
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003856 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3857 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3858
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003859 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3860 an MMC sector boundary.
3861
3862 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3863
3864 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3865 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3866 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3867
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003868- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003869
3870 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3871 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3872 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3873 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3874 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3875 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3876 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3877
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003878Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003879has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003880created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003881until then to read environment variables.
3882
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003883The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3884is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3885with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3886necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3887"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3888have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003889
3890Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3891the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003892use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003898 also needs to be defined.
3899
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003900- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

3905 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3906 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00003928
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003929 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3930 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003933- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3934 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3935 PowerPC SOCs.
3936
3937- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3938 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3939 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3940
3941 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3942 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3943
3944- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3945 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3946 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003947 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003948 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3949 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3950 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3951
3952 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3953 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3954
3955- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003956 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3957 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05003958 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3959 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3960
3961- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3962 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3963 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3964 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3965
3966- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3967 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3968 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004182- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4183 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4184
4185- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4186 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004187 to the given FEC; i. e.
4188 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004189 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4190
4191 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4192
4193- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4194 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4195 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4196
4197- CONFIG_RMII
4198 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4199 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4200 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4201
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004202- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4203 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4204 The syntax is:
4205
4206 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4207
4208 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4209 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4210 area should have.

4217 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4218 "md/mw" commands.
4219 Examples:
4220
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004221 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004222 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4223
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004224 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004225 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4226
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004227 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004228 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004230- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004231 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004232 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4233 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4234 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004235
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004236 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4237 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4238 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4239 these initializations itself.

Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004242 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4243 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4244 compiling a NAND SPL.

Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004246- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4247 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4248 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4249 It is loaded by the SPL.
4250
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004251- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4252 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4253 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4254 previous 4k of the .text section.
4255
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004256- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4257 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4258 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4259 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4260 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4261 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4262 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4263 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4264
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004265- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4266 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4267 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4268 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4269 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4270
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004271- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4272 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4273 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004274
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004275- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4276 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4277
4278 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004280Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4281-----------------------------------
4282
4283The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4284loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4285This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4286are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4287within that device.
4288
4289- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4290 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4291 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4292 is also specified.
4293
4294- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4295 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4296 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4297 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4298 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4299
4300- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4301 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4302 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4303 virtual address in NOR flash.
4304
4305- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4306 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4307 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4308
4309- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4310 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4311 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4312
4313- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4314 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4315 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4316
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004317- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4318 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4319 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004320 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4321 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4322 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004324Building the Software:
4325======================
4326
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004327Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4328and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4329all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4330(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4331recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4332which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004333
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004334If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4335have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4336you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4337Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4338necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004339
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004340 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4341 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004342
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004343Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4344 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4345 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4346 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4347
4348 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4349
4350 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4351 be executed on computers running Windows.
4352
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004353U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4354sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004355is done by typing:
4356
4357 make NAME_config
4358
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004359where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004360rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004361
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004362Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4363 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4364 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4365 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004366 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004367
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004368 make TQM823L_config
4369 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004370
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004371 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4372 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004373
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004374 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004375
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004376
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004377Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4378images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004379
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004380- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4381- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4382- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004383
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004384By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4385in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4386this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4387
43881. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4389
4390 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4391 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4392 make O=/tmp/build all
4393
43942. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4395
4396 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4397 make distclean
4398 make NAME_config
4399 make all
4400
4401Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4402variable.
4403
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004404
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004405Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4406for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4407native "make".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004410If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4411to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4412steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004413
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044141. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004415 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4416 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044172. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4418 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4419 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
44203. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4421 your board
44223. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4423 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
44244. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
44255. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4426 to be installed on your target system.
44276. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4428 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004431Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4432==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004433
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004434If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4435or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004436provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4437the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004438official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004439
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004440But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4441cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004442the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4443just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004444for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4445select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4446environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4447you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004448
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004449 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004450
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004451or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004452
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004453 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004454
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004455When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4456U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4457setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4458built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4459<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4460location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4461variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004462
4463 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4464 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4465 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4466
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004467With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4468log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4469during the whole build process.

4531
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004532Environment Variables:
4533======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004534
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004535U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4536can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004537
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004538Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4539"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4540without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4541environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4542working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4543environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004544
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004545Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.

4547List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004548
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004549 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004550
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004551 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004552
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004553 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004554
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004555 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004556
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004557 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004558
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004559 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4560 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4561 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4562 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4563 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4564 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004565 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4566 bootm_mapsize.
4567
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004568 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004569 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4570 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4571 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4572 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4573 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4574 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004575
4576 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4577 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4578 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4579 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4580 environment variable.
4581
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004582 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4583 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4584 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4585
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004586 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4587 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4588 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4589 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004590
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004591 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4592 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4593 be automatically started (by internally calling
4594 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004595
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004596 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4597 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4598 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4599 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4600 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004601
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004602 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4603 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004604 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4605 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4606 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4607 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4608 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4609 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4610 access it during the boot procedure.
4611
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004612 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4613 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4614 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4615 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4616 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4617 must be accessible by the kernel.
4618
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004619 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4620 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4621 defined.
4622
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004623 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4624 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4625 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4626 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4627 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4628
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004629 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4630 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4631 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4632 is usually what you want since it allows for
4633 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4634 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004635 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004636 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4637 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4638 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4639 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004640
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004641 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4642 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4643 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4644 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4645 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4646 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004647
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004648 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004649
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004650 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4651 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4652 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4653 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4654 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4655 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4656 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004657
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004658 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004674
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004675 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4676 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004677
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004678 => setenv ethact FEC

4681 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004682
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004683 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4684 available network interfaces.
4685 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4686
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004687 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004688 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4689 When set to "once" the network operation will

4713 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4714 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4715 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004724The following image location variables contain the location of images
4725used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4726not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4727variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4728server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4729loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4730flash or offset in NAND flash.
4731
4732*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4733boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4734boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004758There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004759
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004760 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4761 as type string and/or serial number
4762 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004763
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004764These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4765the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4766once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004767
4768
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004769Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004770
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004771 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4772 with the "version" command. This variable is
4773 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004780Callback functions for environment variables:
4781---------------------------------------------
4782
4783For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4784when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4785be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4786deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4787effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4788
4789The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4790U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4791
4792These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4793static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4794in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4795associations. The list must be in the following format:
4796
4797 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4798 list = entry[,list]
4799
4800If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4801Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4802
4803Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4804with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4805override any association in the static list. You can define
4806CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4807".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004810Command Line Parsing:
4811=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004812
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004813There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4814the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004815
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004816Old, simple command line parser:
4817--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004818
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004819- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4820- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004821- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004822- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4823 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004824 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004825- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4826 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004827
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004828Hush shell:
4829-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004830
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004831- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4832 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4833 until...do...done, ...
4834- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4835 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4836 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4837 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004838
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004839General rules:
4840--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004841
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004842(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4843 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4844 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4845 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004846
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004847(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004848 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004849 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4850 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004852Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4853=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004854
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004855Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004856such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4857"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004858
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004859Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4860MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4861"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004862
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004863If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4864in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4865ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4866variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004867
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004868o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4869 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004870
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004871o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4872 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4873 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004874
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004875o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4876 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004877
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004878o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4879 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4880 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004881
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004882o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4883 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004884
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004885If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004886will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004887may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4888The naming convention is as follows:
4889"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004890

4892==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004893
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01004894U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4895images in two formats:
4896
4897New uImage format (FIT)
4898-----------------------
4899
4900Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4901to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4902components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4903SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4904
4905
4906Old uImage format
4907-----------------
4908
4909Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4910preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4911details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004932Linux Support:
4933==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004934
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004935Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4936easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4937U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004938
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004939U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4940special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4941"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4942instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4943serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004944
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004945- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4946 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4947 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004948
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004949- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4950 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004951
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004952- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4953 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4954 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4955 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4956 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4957 software is easier now.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4964---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004965
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004966U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4967configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4968(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4969Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004970
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02004971But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004972
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004973Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4974include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board

4981-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004982
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004983No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4984device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004987Building a Linux Image:
4988-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004989
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004990With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4991not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4992"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4993U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4994which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4995100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004996
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004997Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004998
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004999 make TQM850L_config
5000 make oldconfig
5001 make dep
5002 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005003
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005004The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5005encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5006CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005007
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005008* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005009
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005010* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005011
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5013 -R .note -R .comment \
5014 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005015
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005016* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005017
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005018 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005019
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005020* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005021
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5023 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5024 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005025
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005026
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005027The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5028with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5029combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5030byte header containing information about target architecture,
5031operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5032stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005033
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005034"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5035print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005036
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005037In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5038contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5039checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005040
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041 tools/mkimage -l image
5042 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005043
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005044The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5045from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005046
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005047 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5048 -n name -d data_file image
5049 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5050 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5051 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5052 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5053 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5054 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5055 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5056 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005057
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005058Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5059address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5060kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005061
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005062- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5063- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005064
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005065So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005066

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005120Installing a Linux Image:
5121-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005122
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005123To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5124you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005125
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005126 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005127
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005128The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5129image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5130address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5131specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5132command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005133
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005134Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005300More About U-Boot Image Types:
5301------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005302
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005303U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005304
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005305 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5306 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5307 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5308 the Standalone Program.
5309 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5310 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5311 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5312 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5313 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5314 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5315 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5316 being started.
5317 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5318 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5319 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5320 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5321 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5322 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005323
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005324 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5325 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5326 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5327 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5328 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5329 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005330
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5332 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5333 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005334
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005335 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5336 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5337 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5338 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005340Booting the Linux zImage:
5341-------------------------
5342
5343On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5344using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5345as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5346
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005347Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005348kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5349address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5350format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5354=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005355
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005356One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5357run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5358U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005359
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005360Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005365'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5366application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5367It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5368like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005394Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5395handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5396Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5397The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5398character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5399controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005400

5463=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005464
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005465Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5466(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005467
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005468Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5469NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5470need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5471Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5472attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5473missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005474
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005475 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5476 # mkdir powerpc
5477 # ln -s powerpc machine
5478 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5479 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005480
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005481Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5482and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005483
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005484Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5485stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5486proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5487tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005494The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5495implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5496inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5497hardware.

5501---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005502
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005503The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5504starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5505system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5506This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5507is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5508at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5509options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5510models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5511MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5512locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005522 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5523 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5524 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5525 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5526 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005527 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005528 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5529 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005531 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5532 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005533 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005534 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5535 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5536 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5537 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005538
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005539 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5541 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005542 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005543 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5544 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5545 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5546 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5547 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005552It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5553code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005554
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005555* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5556 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005557
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005558* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005559 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5560 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005561
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005562* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5563 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005564
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005565Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5566normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5567turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5568simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5569functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5570functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5571the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5572place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5573reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005574
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005575When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5576relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5577GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005578
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005579For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5580 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005581 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005582 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5583 R5-R10: parameter passing
5584 R13: small data area pointer
5585 R30: GOT pointer
5586 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005587
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005588 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5589 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5590 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005591
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005592 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005593
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005594 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5595 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5596 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5597 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5598 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5599 624 text + 127 data).

Robin Getzc4db3352009-08-17 15:23:02 +00005601On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005606On ARM, the following registers are used:

5624
5625 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5626
5627 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5628 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

5643
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005644NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5645or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647Memory Management:
5648------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005649
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005650U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5651MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005652
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005653The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5654controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5655memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5656physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005657
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005658U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5659TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5660booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5661to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005662memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005663configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5664Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005665
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005666Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5667of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005668
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005669So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5670this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005671
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005672 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5673 :
5674 0x0000 1FFF
5675 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5676 :
5677 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005678
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005679 :
5680 :
5681 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5682 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5683 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5684 :
5685 0x00FD FFFF
5686 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5687 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5688 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5689 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

5691
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005692System Initialization:
5693----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005694
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005695In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005696(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005697configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5698To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5699To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5700initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5701which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5702part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5703the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005704
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005705Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5706preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5707(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5708on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5709programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5710simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5711banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005712
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5714different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5715bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
57160x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5717contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005718
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005719Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5720and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5721Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5722pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005723
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005724Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5725until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5726running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5727new address in RAM.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005806
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005807All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005808coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005809"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005810
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005811Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5812MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5813reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5814sources.
5815
5816Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5817Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5818in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005819
5820Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5821- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005822- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005824- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005825- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5826
5827Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5828with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005831Submitting Patches:
5832-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005833
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005834Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5835establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5836may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005837
Magnus Lilja0d28f342008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005838Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005839
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005840Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5841see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5842
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5844it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005845
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005846* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5847 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5848 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005849
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005850* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5851 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005852
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005853* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5854
5855* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5856
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005857* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5858 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005859
5860* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5861 document these in the README file.
5862
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005863* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5864 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005865 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005866 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5867 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005868
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005869 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5870 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5871 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005872
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005873 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5874 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5875 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5876 affected files).
5877
5878 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5879 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005880
5881* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5882 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5883
5884* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5885 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5886
5887
5888Notes:
5889
5890* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5891 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5892 for any of the boards.
5893
5894* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5895 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5896 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5897
5898* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5899 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5900 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5901 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5902 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5903 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00005904
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005905* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5906 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5907 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5908 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
