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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1038 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1039
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001040- Regular expression support:
1041 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001042 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1043 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1044 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1045 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001046
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001047- Device tree:
1048 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1049 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1050 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1051 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1052 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1053 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1054
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001055 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1056 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001057
1058 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1059 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1060 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1061 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1062 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1063 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001064
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001065 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1066 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1067 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1068 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1069
1070 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1071
1072 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1073 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1074 still use the individual files if you need something more
1075 exotic.
1076
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001077- Watchdog:
1078 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1079 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001080 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1081 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1082 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1083 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1084 available, then no further board specific code should
1085 be needed to use it.
1086
1087 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1088 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1089 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1090 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001091
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001092- U-Boot Version:
1093 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1094 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1095 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1096 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e512012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001097 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1098 next reset.

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

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

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

Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001621 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
Wolfgang Denk04e5ae72011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001622 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001623 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1624 support, and should also define these other macros:
1625
1626 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1627 CONFIG_VIDEO
1628 CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1629 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1630 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1631 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1632 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1633 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1634
Timur Tabiba8e76b2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001635 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1636 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1637 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1638 description of this variable.
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001639
Simon Glass058d59b2012-12-03 13:59:47 +00001640 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1641
1642 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1643 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1644 driver.
1645
1646
wdenk682011f2003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001647- Keyboard Support:

wdenk682011f2003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001649
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001650 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1651 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1652 defined in your board-specific files.
1653 The only board using this so far is RBC823.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001706
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001707 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1708
1709 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1710 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1711 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1712 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1713 a per-section basis.
1714
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001715 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1716
1717 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1718 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1719 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1720 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001721
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001722 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1723
1724 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1725
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001726 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1727
1728 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1729 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1730
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001731- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001732
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001733 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1734 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1735 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001736 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001737 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1738 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1739 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1740 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001741
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001742 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1743
1744 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1745 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001746 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001747 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1748 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1749 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1750 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1751 there is no need to set this option.
1752
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001753 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1754
1755 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1756 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1757 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1758 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1759 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1760 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1761
1762 Example:
1763 setenv splashpos m,m
1764 => image at center of screen
1765
1766 setenv splashpos 30,20
1767 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1768
1769 setenv splashpos -10,m
1770 => vertically centered image
1771 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1772
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001773- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1774
1775 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1776 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1777 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1778
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001779- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1780
1781 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1782 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1783 bmp command.
1784
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001785- Do compresssing for memory range:
1786 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1787
1788 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1789 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1790
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001791- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001792 CONFIG_GZIP
1793
1794 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1795
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001796 CONFIG_BZIP2
1797
1798 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1799 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1800 compressed images are supported.
1801
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001802 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001803 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001804 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001805
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001806 CONFIG_LZMA
1807
1808 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1809 images is included.
1810
1811 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1812 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1813 formula:
1814
1815 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1816
1817 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1818 and Literal pos bits.
1819
1820 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1821 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1822 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1823 a very small buffer.
1824
1825 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1826 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001827 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001828
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001829 CONFIG_LZO
1830
1831 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1832 is included.
1833
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001834- MII/PHY support:
1835 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1836
1837 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1838
1839 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1840
1841 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1842
1843 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1844
1845 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001846 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001847
1848 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1849
1850 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1851 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1852 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1853 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1854
1855 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1856
1857 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1858 command issued before MII status register can be read
1859

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001877 determined through e.g. bootp.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001878 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001879
1880- Server IP address:
1881 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1882
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001883 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001884 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001885 (Environment variable "serverip")

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001887 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1888
1889 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1890 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1891
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001892- Gateway IP address:
1893 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1894
1895 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1896 default router where packets to other networks are
1897 sent to.
1898 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1899
1900- Subnet mask:
1901 CONFIG_NETMASK
1902
1903 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1904 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1905 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1906 forwarded through a router.
1907 (Environment variable "netmask")
1908
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001909- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1910 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1911
1912 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1913 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001914 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001915 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1916 multicast group.
1917
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001918- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1919 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1920
1921 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1922 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1923 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1924 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1925 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1926 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1927 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1928 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001929 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001930
1931 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1932 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1933 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1934 4th and following
1935 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001954
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001955 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1956 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001957
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001958 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1959 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1960 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1961 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1962 is not available.
1963
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001964 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1965 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1966 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1967 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1968 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1969 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1970 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001971 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001972
1973 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1974 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1975 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001976 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001977 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1978 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001980 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1981
1982 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1983 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1984 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1985 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1986 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1987 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1988 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1989 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1990 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1991 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1992 this delay.

1995 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1996 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1997 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1998 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002044- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2045
2046 Several configurations allow to display the current
2047 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2048 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2049 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2050 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2051 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2052 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2053 feature in U-Boot.
2054
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002055 Additional options:
2056
2057 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2058 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2059 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2060 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2061 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2062
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002063 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2064 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2065 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2066 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2067 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2068 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2069
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002070- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2239 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2240 provides the following compelling advantages:
2241
2242 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2243 - approved multibus support
2244 - better i2c mux support
2245
2246 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2247
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002248 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2249 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2250 for the selected CPU.

wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002260 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002261 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002262
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002263 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002264 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002265 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002266 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002267
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002268 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002269 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002270 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2271 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2272 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002273

2275
2276 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2277 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2278 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2279 commands until the slave device responds.
2280
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002281 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2351
2352 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2353 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2354 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2355 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2356
2357 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2358 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002362 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2363 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2364 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2365 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2366 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2367 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2368 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2369 is run early in the boot sequence.

Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002371 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2372
2373 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2374 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2375 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2376 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2377 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2378 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2379 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2380 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

2390 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002391 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2392 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002393 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

2397 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002398 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002399 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2400 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002401

2433
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002434 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2435
2436 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2437 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2438 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2439 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2440 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2441 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2442 the other.

2464 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2465 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002552 U-Boot considers the values of the environment

2556 protects these variables from casual modification by
2557 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2558 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002559 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002560
2561 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2562 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002563 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002564 these parameters.
2565
2566 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR

2574 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2575 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2576 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2577
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002578- Protected RAM:
2579 CONFIG_PRAM
2580
2581 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2582 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2583 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2584 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2585 this default value by defining an environment
2586 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2587 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2588 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2589 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2590 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2591 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2592 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2593
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002594 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002595 saveenv
2596
2597 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2598 either, which results in a memory region that will
2599 not be affected by reboots.
2600
2601 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2602 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2603 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2604 following board configurations are known to be
2605 "pRAM-clean":
2606
Wolfgang Denk1b0757e2012-10-24 02:36:15 +00002607 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002610
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002611- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2612 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2613 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2614 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2615 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2616 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2617 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2618
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002619- Error Recovery:
2620 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2621
2622 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2623 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2624 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002625 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002626 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2627 useful during development since you can try to debug
2628 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2629
2630 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2631
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002632 This variable defines the number of retries for
2633 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2634 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2635 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002636
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002637 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2638
2639 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2640
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002641 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2642
2643 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2644 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2645 try longer timeout such as
2646 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2647
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002648- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002649 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002650
2651 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2652
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002653 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2654 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002655
2656
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002657 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002658
2659 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2660 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2661 powerful command line syntax like
2662 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2663 constructs ("shell scripts").
2664
2665 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2666 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2667
2668
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002669 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002670
2671 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2672 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2673 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2674
2675 Note:
2676
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002677 In the current implementation, the local variables
2678 space and global environment variables space are
2679 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2680 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2681 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2682 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2683 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002684
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002685 Global environment variables are those you use
2686 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2687 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2688 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002689
2690 To store commands and special characters in a
2691 variable, please use double quotation marks
2692 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2693 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2694 symbols.
2695
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002696- Commandline Editing and History:
2697 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2698
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002699 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002700 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002701
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002702- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002703 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2704
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002705 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2706 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002707 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002708
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002709 For example, place something like this in your
2710 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002711
2712 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2713 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2714 "myvar2=value2\0"
2715
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002716 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2717 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2718 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2719 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002720 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002721 You better know what you are doing here.
2722
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002723 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2724 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002725 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002726 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002727
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002728 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2729
2730 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2731 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2732 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2733
2734 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2735
2736 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2737 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2738 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2739 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2740 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2741
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002742 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2743
2744 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2745 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2746 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2747
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002748 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2749
2750 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2751 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2752 that so that the environment is not available until
2753 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2754 this is instead controlled by the value of
2755 /config/load-environment.
2756
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002757- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002758 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2759
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002760 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2761 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2762 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002763
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002764- Serial Flash support
2765 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2766
2767 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2768 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2769
2770 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2771 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2772 commands.
2773
2774 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2775 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2776 flash is present on the system.
2777
2778 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2779 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2780 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2781 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2782
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002783 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2784
2785 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2786 test ('sf test').
2787
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302788 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2789
2790 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2791 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2792
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302793 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2794
2795 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2796 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2797 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2798
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002799- SystemACE Support:
2800 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2801
2802 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2803 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002804 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002805 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002806
2807 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002808 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002809
2810 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2811 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2812
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002813- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2814 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2815
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002816 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002817 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002818 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002819 number generator is used.
2820
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002821 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2822 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2823 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2824
2825 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002826 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2827 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2828 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2829 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2830 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2831 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2832
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002833- Hashing support:
2834 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2835
2836 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2837 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2838
2839 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2840
2841 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2842 size a little.
2843
2844 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2845 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2846
2847 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2848 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2849
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002850- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2851 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2852 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2853 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2854
2855 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2856 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2857 a boot from specific media.
2858
2859 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2860 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2861 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2862 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2863 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2864
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002865- Signing support:
2866 CONFIG_RSA
2867
2868 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01002869 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002870
2871 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2872 option.
2873
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002874- bootcount support:
2875 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2876
2877 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2878 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2879
2880 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2881 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2882 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2883 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2884 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2885 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2886 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2887 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2888 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2889 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2890 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2891 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2892 the bootcounter.
2893 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002894
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002895- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002896 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2897
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002898 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2899 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2900 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2901 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2902 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2903 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002904
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002905- Detailed boot stage timing
2906 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2907 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2908 of the boot process.
2909
2910 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2911 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2912 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2913 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2914 the limit, recording will stop.
2915
2916 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2917 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2918
2919 Timer summary in microseconds:
2920 Mark Elapsed Stage
2921 0 0 reset
2922 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2923 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2924 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2925 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2926 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2927 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2928 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2929
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002930 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2931 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2932 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2933
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002934 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2935 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2936 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2937 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2938 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2939 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2940 For example:
2941
2942 bootstage {
2943 154 {
2944 name = "board_init_f";
2945 mark = <3575678>;
2946 };
2947 170 {
2948 name = "lcd";
2949 accum = <33482>;
2950 };
2951 };

3137 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3138 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3139 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3140 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3141 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3142 configured panel size.

3384 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3385 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3386 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003410Modem Support:
3411--------------
3412
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003413[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003414
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003415- Modem support enable:

3419 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3420
3421- Modem debug support:
3422 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3423
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003424 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3425 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003426
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003427- Interrupt support (PPC):
3428
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003429 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3430 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003431 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003432 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003433 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003434 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003435 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003436 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3437 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3438 general timer_interrupt().
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003439
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003440- General:
3441
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003442 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3443 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3444 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003445 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003446 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3447 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3448 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003449
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003450 If there are no modem init strings in the
3451 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3452 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003453 suppressed, though.

3458------------------------------
3459
3460During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3461to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3462before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3463following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3464architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3465typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3527 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003528 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003529 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003530 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3531 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3532 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003533 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003534 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003535 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003536
3537 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3538 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3539 be touched.
3540
3541 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3542 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3543 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a

3577 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003578 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003579 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3580
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003581- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

3626 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3627
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003628- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003629
3630 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3631 without this option such a download has to be
3632 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3633 copy from RAM to flash.
3634
3635 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3636 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003637 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3638 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003639 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3640
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003641- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

3663 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3664 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3665 optionally available.
3666
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003667- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3668 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3669 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3670 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3671
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003672- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3673 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3674 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3675 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3676 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3677 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3678 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3679 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3680
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003681- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003682 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3683 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003684 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3685 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003686 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003687 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003700 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3701 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3702 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3703
3704 The format of the list is:

3728
3729 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3730 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3731 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3732 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3733 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the

3738 access flags.
3739
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003740- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3741 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3742 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3743 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3744 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3745 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3746 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3747 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3748 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3749
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003750- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003755The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3756of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3757following configurations:
3758
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003759- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3760
3761 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3762 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3763
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003764- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003765
3766 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3767
3768 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3769 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3770 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3771 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3772 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3773 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3774 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3775 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3776 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3777 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3778 between U-Boot and the environment.
3779
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003780 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003781
3782 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3783 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3784 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3785 for this sector is given here.
3786
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003787 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003788
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003789 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003790
3791 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3792 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003793 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003794
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003795 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003796
3797 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3798
3799
3800 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3801 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3802 the environment.
3803
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003804 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003805
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003806 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003807 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003808 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3809 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3810
3811 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3812 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3813 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3814 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3815 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3816 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3817 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3818 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3819 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3820
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003821 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3822 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003824 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003825 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003826 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003827 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003828
3829BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3830source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003834- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003835
3836 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3837 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3838 environment.
3839
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003840 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3841 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003842
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003843 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003844 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3845 can just be read and written to, without any special
3846 provision.
3847
3848BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3849in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003850console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003851U-Boot will hang.
3852
3853Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3854environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3855keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3856to save the current settings.

3858
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003859- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003860
3861 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3862 device and a driver for it.
3863
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003864 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3865 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003866
3867 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3868 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3869
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003870 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003871 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3872 The default address is zero.
3873
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003874 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003875 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3876 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3877 would require six bits.
3878
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003879 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003880 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003881 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003882
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003883 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003884 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3885 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3886
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003887 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003888 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3889 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3890 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3891 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3892 byte chips.
3893
3894 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3895 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3896 in the chip address.
3897
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003898 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003899 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3900
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003901 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3902 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3903 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3904
3905 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3906 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3907 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3908 EEPROM. For example:
3909
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003910 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003911
3912 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3913 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003914
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD057c8492008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003915- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003916
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003917 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003918 want to use for the environment.
3919
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003920 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3921 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3922 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003923
3924 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3925 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3926 at the specified address.
3927
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003928- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3929
3930 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3931 want to use for the local device's environment.
3932
3933 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3934 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3935
3936 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3937 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3938 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003939 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003940
3941BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3942"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003943environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3944but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003945
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003946- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003947
3948 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3949 for the environment.
3950
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003951 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3952 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003953
3954 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003955 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3956 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003957
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003958 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003959
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003960 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003961 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3962 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003963 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003964 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003965
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003966 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3967
3968 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3969 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3970 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3971 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3972 the range to be avoided.
3973
3974 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3975
3976 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3977 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3978 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3979 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3980 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003981
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003982- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3983
3984 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3985 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3986 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3987
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003988- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3989
3990 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3991 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3992 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3993
3994 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3995
3996 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3997
3998 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3999
4000 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4001 environment in.
4002
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004003 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4004
4005 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4006 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4007 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4008
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004009 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4010 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4011
4012 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4013 when storing the env in UBI.
4014
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004015- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4016
4017 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4018 environment.
4019
4020 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4021
4022 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4023
4024 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4025
4026 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4027 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4028 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4029
4030 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4031 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4032
4033 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4034 area within the specified MMC device.
4035
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004036 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4037 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4038 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4039 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4040 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4041 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4042 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4043
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004044 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4045 MMC sector boundary.
4046
4047 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4048
4049 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4050 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4051 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4052 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4053
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004054 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4055 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4056
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004057 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4058 an MMC sector boundary.
4059
4060 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4061
4062 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4063 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4064 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4065
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004066- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004067
4068 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4069 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4070 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4071 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4072 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4073 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4074 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4075
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004076Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004077has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004078created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004079until then to read environment variables.
4080
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004081The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4082is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4083with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4084necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4085"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4086have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004087
4088Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4089the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004090use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004094
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004095 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004096 also needs to be defined.
4097
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004098- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004101- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4102 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4103 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4104 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4105 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4106 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4107
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004108- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4109 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4110 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4111 to do this.
4112
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004113- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4114 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4115 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4116 present.

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004126
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004127 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004131- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4132 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4133 PowerPC SOCs.
4134
4135- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4136 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4137 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4138
4139 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4140 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4141
4142- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4143 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4144 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004145 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004146 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4147 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4148 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4149
4150 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4151 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4152
4153- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004154 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4155 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004156 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4157 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4158
4159- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4160 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4161 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4162 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4163
4164- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4165 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4166 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004414- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4415 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4416 "md/mw" commands.
4417 Examples:
4418
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004419 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004420 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4421
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004422 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004423 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4424
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004425 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004426 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004428- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004429 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004430 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4431 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4432 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004433
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004434 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4435 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4436 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4437 these initializations itself.

Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004439- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004440 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4441 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4442 compiling a NAND SPL.

Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004444- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4445 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4446 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4447 It is loaded by the SPL.
4448
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004449- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4450 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4451 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4452 previous 4k of the .text section.
4453
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004454- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4455 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4456 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4457 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4458 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4459 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4460 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4461 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4462
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004463- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4464 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4465 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4466 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4467 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4468
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004469- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4470 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4471 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004472
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004473- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4474 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4475
4476 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004477

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004481Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4482-----------------------------------
4483
4484The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4485loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4486This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4487are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4488within that device.
4489
4490- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4491 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4492 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4493 is also specified.
4494
4495- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4496 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4497 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4498 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4499 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4500
4501- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4502 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4503 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4504 virtual address in NOR flash.
4505
4506- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4507 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4508 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4509
4510- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4511 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4512 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4513
4514- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4515 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4516 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4517
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004518- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4519 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4520 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004521 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4522 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4523 master's memory space.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004525Building the Software:
4526======================
4527
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004528Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4529and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4530all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4531(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4532recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4533which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004534
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004535If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4536have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4537you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4538Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4539necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004540
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004541 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4542 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004543
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004544Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4545 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4546 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4547 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4548
4549 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4550
4551 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4552 be executed on computers running Windows.
4553
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004554U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4555sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004556is done by typing:
4557
4558 make NAME_config
4559
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004560where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004561rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004562
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004563Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4564 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4565 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4566 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004567 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004568
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004569 make TQM823L_config
4570 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004571
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004572 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4573 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004574
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004575 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004576
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004577
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004578Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4579images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004580
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004581- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4582- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4583- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004584
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004585By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4586in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4587this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4588
45891. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4590
4591 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4592 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4593 make O=/tmp/build all
4594
45952. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4596
4597 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4598 make distclean
4599 make NAME_config
4600 make all
4601
4602Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4603variable.
4604
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004605
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004606Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4607for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4608native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004609
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004610
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004611If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4612to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4613steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004614
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046151. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004616 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4617 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046182. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4619 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4620 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46213. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4622 your board
46233. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4624 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46254. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46265. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4627 to be installed on your target system.
46286. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4629 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004630
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004631
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004632Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4633==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004634
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004635If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4636or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004637provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4638the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004639official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004640
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004641But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4642cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004643the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4644just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004645for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4646select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4647environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4648you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004649
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004650 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004651
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004652or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004653
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004654 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004655
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004656When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4657U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4658setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4659built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4660<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4661location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4662variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004663
4664 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4665 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4666 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4667
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004668With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4669log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4670during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004733Environment Variables:
4734======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004735
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004736U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4737can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004738
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004739Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4740"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4741without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4742environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4743working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4744environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004746Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4747
4748List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004749
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004750 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004751
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004752 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004753
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004754 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004755
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004756 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004757
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004758 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004759
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004760 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4761 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4762 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4763 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4764 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4765 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004766 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4767 bootm_mapsize.
4768
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004769 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004770 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4771 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4772 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4773 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4774 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4775 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004776
4777 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4778 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4779 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4780 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4781 environment variable.
4782
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004783 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4784 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4785 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4786
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004787 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4788 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4789 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4790 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004791
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004792 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4793 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4794 be automatically started (by internally calling
4795 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004796
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004797 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4798 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4799 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4800 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4801 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004802
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004803 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4804 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004805 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4806 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4807 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4808 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4809 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4810 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4811 access it during the boot procedure.
4812
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004813 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4814 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4815 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4816 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4817 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4818 must be accessible by the kernel.
4819
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004820 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4821 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4822 defined.
4823
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004824 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4825 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4826 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4827 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4828 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4829
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004830 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4831 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4832 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4833 is usually what you want since it allows for
4834 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4835 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004836 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004837 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4838 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4839 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4840 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004841
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004842 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4843 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4844 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4845 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4846 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4847 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004848
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004849 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004850
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004851 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4852 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4853 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4854 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4855 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4856 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4857 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004858
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004859 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004871
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004872 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004873
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004874 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004875
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004876 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4877 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004878
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004879 => setenv ethact FEC
4880 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4881 => setenv ethact SCC
4882 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004883
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004884 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4885 available network interfaces.
4886 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4887
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004888 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004889 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4890 When set to "once" the network operation will
4891 fail when all the available network interfaces
4892 are tried once without success.
4893 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4894 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004895
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004896 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004897
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004898 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4899 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4900 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4901 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4902 is silent.
4903
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004904 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004905 UDP source port.
4906
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004907 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4908 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4909
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004910 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4911 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4912
4913 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4914 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4915 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4916 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4917 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4918 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4919 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4920
4921 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004922 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004923 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004924
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004925The following image location variables contain the location of images
4926used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4927not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4928variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4929server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4930loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4931flash or offset in NAND flash.
4932
4933*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4934boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4935boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004944The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4945updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4946depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004947
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004948 bootfile - see above
4949 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4950 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4951 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4952 hostname - Target hostname
4953 ipaddr - see above
4954 netmask - Subnet Mask
4955 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4956 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004957
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004958
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004960
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004961 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4962 as type string and/or serial number
4963 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004964
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004965These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4966the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4967once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004968
4969
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004970Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004971
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004972 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4973 with the "version" command. This variable is
4974 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004975

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004977Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4978only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004981Callback functions for environment variables:
4982---------------------------------------------
4983
4984For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4985when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4986be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4987deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4988effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4989
4990The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4991U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4992
4993These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4994static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4995in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4996associations. The list must be in the following format:
4997
4998 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4999 list = entry[,list]
5000
5001If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5002Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5003
5004Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5005with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5006override any association in the static list. You can define
5007CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5008".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005014There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5015the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005017Old, simple command line parser:
5018--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005019
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005020- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5021- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005022- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005023- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5024 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005025 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005026- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5027 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005028
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005029Hush shell:
5030-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005031
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005032- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5033 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5034 until...do...done, ...
5035- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5036 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5037 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5038 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005039
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005040General rules:
5041--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005042
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5044 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5045 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5046 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005047
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005048(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005049 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005050 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5051 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005053Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5054=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005055
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005056Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005057such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5058"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005059
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005060Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5061MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5062"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005063
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005064If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5065in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5066ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5067variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005068
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005069o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5070 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005071
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005072o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5073 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5074 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005075
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005076o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5077 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005078
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005079o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5080 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5081 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005082
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005083o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5084 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005085
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005086If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005087will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005088may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5089The naming convention is as follows:
5090"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005091
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005092Image Formats:
5093==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005094
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005095U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5096images in two formats:
5097
5098New uImage format (FIT)
5099-----------------------
5100
5101Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5102to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5103components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5104SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5105
5106
5107Old uImage format
5108-----------------
5109
5110Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5111preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5112details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005113
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005114* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005128The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5129and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5130CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005131
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005132
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005133Linux Support:
5134==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005135
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005136Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5137easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5138U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005139
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005140U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5141special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5142"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5143instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5144serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005145
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005146- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5147 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5148 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005149
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005150- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5151 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005152
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005153- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5154 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5155 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5156 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5157 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5158 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005159
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005160
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005161Linux HOWTO:
5162============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005163
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005164Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5165---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005166
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005167U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5168configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5169(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5170Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005171
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005172But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005173
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005174Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5175include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005176Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5177and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005178as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005179
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005180
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005181Configuring the Linux kernel:
5182-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005183
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005184No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5185device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005186
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005187
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005188Building a Linux Image:
5189-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005190
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005191With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5192not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5193"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5194U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5195which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5196100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005197
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005198Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005199
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005200 make TQM850L_config
5201 make oldconfig
5202 make dep
5203 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005204
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005205The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5206encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5207CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005208
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005209* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005210
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005211* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005212
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005213 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5214 -R .note -R .comment \
5215 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005216
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005217* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005218
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005219 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005220
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005221* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005222
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005223 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5224 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5225 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005226
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005227
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005228The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5229with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5230combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5231byte header containing information about target architecture,
5232operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5233stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005234
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005235"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5236print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005237
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005238In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5239contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5240checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005241
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005242 tools/mkimage -l image
5243 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005244
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005245The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5246from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005247
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005248 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5249 -n name -d data_file image
5250 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5251 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5252 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5253 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5254 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5255 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5256 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5257 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005258
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005259Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5260address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the

5290speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5291needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5292need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005320The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5321option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5322option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5323from the image:
5324
5325 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5326 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005330Installing a Linux Image:
5331-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005332
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005333To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5334you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005335
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005336 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005337
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5339image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5340address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5341specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5342command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005343
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005344Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005510More About U-Boot Image Types:
5511------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005512
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005514
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005515 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5516 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5517 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5518 the Standalone Program.
5519 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5520 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5521 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5522 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5523 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5524 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5525 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5526 being started.
5527 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5528 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5529 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5530 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5531 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5532 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005533
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005534 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5535 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5536 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5537 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5538 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5539 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005540
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005541 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5542 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005545 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5546 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5547 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5548 as command interpreter.

5551-------------------------
5552
5553On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5554using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5555as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5556
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005557Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005558kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5559address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5560format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005566One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5567run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5568U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005569
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005570Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005575'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5576application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5577It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5578like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005604Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5605handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5606Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5607The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5608character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5609controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005675Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5676(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005677
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005678Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5679NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5680need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5681Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5682attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5683missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005684
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005685 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5686 # mkdir powerpc
5687 # ln -s powerpc machine
5688 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5689 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005690
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005691Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5692and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005693
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005694Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5695stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5696proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5697tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5702=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005703
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005704The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5705implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5706inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5707hardware.

5711---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005712
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5714starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5715system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5716This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5717is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5718at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5719options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5720models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5721MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5722locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005723
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005724 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005732 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5733 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5734 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5735 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5736 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005737 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005738 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5739 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005741 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5742 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005743 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005744 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5745 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5746 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5747 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005748
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005749 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005750 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5751 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005752 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005753 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5754 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5755 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5756 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5757 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005762It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5763code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005764
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005765* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5766 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005767
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005768* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005769 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5770 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005771
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005772* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5773 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005774
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005775Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5776normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5777turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5778simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5779functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5780functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5781the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5782place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5783reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005784
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005785When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5786relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5787GCC's implementation.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005789For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5790 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005791 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005792 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5793 R5-R10: parameter passing
5794 R13: small data area pointer
5795 R30: GOT pointer
5796 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005798 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5799 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5800 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005804 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5805 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5806 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5807 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5808 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5809 624 text + 127 data).

5835 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5836
5837 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5838 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005854NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5855or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005857Memory Management:
5858------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005859
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005860U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5861MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005862
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005863The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5864controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5865memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5866physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005867
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005868U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5869TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5870booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5871to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005872memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005873configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5874Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005875
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005876Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5877of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005878
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005879So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5880this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005881
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005882 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5883 :
5884 0x0000 1FFF
5885 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5886 :
5887 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005888
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005889 :
5890 :
5891 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5892 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5893 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5894 :
5895 0x00FD FFFF
5896 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5897 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5898 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5899 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005900
5901
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005902System Initialization:
5903----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005904
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005905In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005906(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005907configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5908To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5909To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5910initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5911which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5912part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5913the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005914
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005915Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5916preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5917(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5918on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5919programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5920simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5921banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005922
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005923When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5924different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5925bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59260x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5927contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005928
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005929Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5930and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5931Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5932pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005933
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005934Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5935until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5936running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5937new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006017All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006018coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006019"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006021Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6022MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6023reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6024sources.
6025
6026Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6027Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6028in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006029
6030Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6031- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006032- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006033- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006034- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006035- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6036
6037Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned

6052
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006053When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6054it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006055
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006056* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6057 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6058 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006059
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006060* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6061 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006062
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006063* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6064
6065* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6066
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006067* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6068 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006069
6070* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6071 document these in the README file.
6072
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006073* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6074 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006075 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006076 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6077 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006078
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006079 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6080 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6081 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006082
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006083 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6084 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6085 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6086 affected files).
6087
6088 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6089 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006090
6091* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6092 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6093
6094* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6095 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6096
6097
6098Notes:
6099
6100* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6101 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6102 for any of the boards.
6103
6104* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6105 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6106 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6107
6108* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6109 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6110 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
