9========

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.

30Status:
31=======

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 +0000225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200258 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263
264
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600274
275
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000276Configuration Options:
277----------------------
278
279Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
280such information is kept in a configuration file
281"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
282
283Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
284"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
285
286
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000287Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
288kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
289build a config tool - later.
290
291
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000292The following options need to be configured:
293

Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -0700624- Driver Model
625 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
626 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
627 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
628 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
629 handling of platform data and device tree.
630
631 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
632 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
633 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
634 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
635 interfaces include compatibility features which may be
636 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
637 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
638 not change with driver model.
639
640 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
641
642 CONFIG_DM
643
644 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
645 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
646 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
647 scanned also when available.
648
649 CONFIG_CMD_DM
650
651 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
652 out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
653
654 CONFIG_DM_DEMO
655
656 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
657 really only useful for playing around while trying to
658 understand driver model in sandbox.
659
660 CONFIG_SPL_DM
661
662 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
663 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
664 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
665 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
666 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
667 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
668 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
669 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
670 it.
671
672 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
673
674 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
675 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
676 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
677 defined in include/serial.h.
678
679 CONFIG_DM_GPIO
680
681 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
682 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
683 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
684 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
685 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
686
687 CONFIG_DM_SPI
688
689 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
690 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
691 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
692 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
693 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
694 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
695 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
696 spi_slave structure.
697
698 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
699
700 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
701 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
702 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
703 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
704 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
705 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
706 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
707 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
708 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
709 for one and not the other).
710
711 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
712
713 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
714 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
715 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
716 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
717 conversion is not yet possible.
718
719
720 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
721 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
722 features in SPL.
723
724 CONFIG_DM_WARN
725
726 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
727 of space for its strings.
728
729 CONFIG_DM_STDIO
730
731 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
732
733 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
734
735 Enable removing of devices.
736

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000739 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
740
741 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
742 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
743 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
744 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
745 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
746 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
747 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000748 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100749 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000752 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
753
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800754 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000755 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
756 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Kumar Gala4e253132006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600779 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
780
781 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
782 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000783
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600784 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
785
786 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
787 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
788 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
789 the kernel.
790
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500791 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
792
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200793 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500794 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
795
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200796 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
797
798 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
799 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
800 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
801 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
802 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
803 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
804
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000805 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
806
807 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
808 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
809 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
810 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
811 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
812 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
813 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
814
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100815- vxWorks boot parameters:
816
817 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
818 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
819 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
820
821 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
822 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address

824 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
825
826 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
827
828 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
829
830 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
831 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000846
847 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
848
Andreas Engel48d01922008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200849 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000850
851 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
852
853 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
854
855 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
856 the clock speed of the UARTs.
857
858 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
859
860 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
861 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
862 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
863
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000864 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
865
866 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
867 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
868 this variable to initialize the extra register.
869
870 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
871
872 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
873 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
874 variable to flush the UART at init time.
875
Karicheri, Muralidharand57dee52014-04-09 15:38:46 -0400876 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000881- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000882 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
883 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
884 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
885 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000886
887 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
888 port routines must be defined elsewhere
889 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
890
891 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
892 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000930 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
931 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
932 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
933
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000934 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
935 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
936 environment 'console=serial'.

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000938 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
939 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
940 the "silent" environment variable. See
941 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000942
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200943 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100954- Console Rx buffer length
955 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
956 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100957 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100958 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
959 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
960 the SMC.
961
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000962- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200963 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
964 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
965 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
966 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
967 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
968 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
969 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200970 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200971 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000972
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200973 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
974 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000975
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000976- Safe printf() functions
977 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
978 the printf() functions. These are defined in
979 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
980 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
981 If this option is not given then these functions will
982 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
983 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
984
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000985- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
986 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
987 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000988 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
989 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000990
991 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
992 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
993 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
994 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
995 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
996 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
997 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
998 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
999 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
1000 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
1001 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
1002 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
1003
1004- Autoboot Command:
1005 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1006 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
1007 define a command string that is automatically executed
1008 when no character is read on the console interface
1009 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
1010
1011 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001012 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
1013 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
1014 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001015
1016 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001017 The value of these goes into the environment as
1018 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1019 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001020 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001021
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +01001022- Bootcount:
1023 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1024 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1025 cycle, see:
1026 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1027
1028 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1029 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1030 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1031 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1032 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1033 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1034 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1035 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1036 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1037
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001038- Pre-Boot Commands:
1039 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1040
1041 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1042 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1043 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1044 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1045 entering interactive mode.
1046
1047 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1048 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1049 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1050 modified when the user holds down a certain
1051 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1052 booting the systems
1053
1054- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1055 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1056 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1057 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1058 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1059 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1060 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1061 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1062
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001063- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001064 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1065 Select one of the baudrates listed in

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001067
1068- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001069 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1070 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +00001071 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1072 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001073 and augmenting with additional #define's
1074 for wanted commands.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001198 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1199 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1200 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1201 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1202 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1203 initial stack and some data.

1206 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1207
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001208- Regular expression support:
1209 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001210 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1211 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1212 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1213 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001214
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001215- Device tree:
1216 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1217 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1218 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1219 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1220 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1221 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1222
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001223 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1224 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001225
1226 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1227 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1228 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1229 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1230 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1231 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001232
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001233 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1234 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1235 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1236 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1237
1238 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1239
1240 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1241 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1242 still use the individual files if you need something more
1243 exotic.
1244
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001245- Watchdog:
1246 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1247 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001248 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1249 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1250 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1251 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1252 available, then no further board specific code should
1253 be needed to use it.
1254
1255 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1256 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1257 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1258 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001259
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001260 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1261 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1262
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001263- U-Boot Version:
1264 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1265 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1266 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1267 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e512012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001268 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1269 next reset.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001271- Real-Time Clock:
1272
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001273 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001274 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1275 following options:
1276
1277 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1278 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001279 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001289 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1290 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001291
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001292 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1293 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1294
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001295- GPIO Support:
1296 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001297
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001298 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1299 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1300 pins supported by a particular chip.
1301
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001302 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1303 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1304
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001305- I/O tracing:
1306 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1307 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1308 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1309 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1310 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1311 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1312 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1313 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1314
1315 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1316 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1317 still continue to operate.
1318
1319 iotrace is enabled
1320 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1321 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1322 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1323 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1324 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1325 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1326
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001327- Timestamp Support:
1328
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001329 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1330 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1331 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001332 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001333

Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001657- ULPI Layer Support:
1658 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1659 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1660 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1661 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1662 viewport is supported.
1663 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1664 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001665 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1666 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1667 the appropriate value in Hz.

Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001718 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1719 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1720 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1721 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1722 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1723
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001724 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1725 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1726 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1727 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1728 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1729 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1730
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001731 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1732 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1733 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1734 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1735
1736 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1737 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1738 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1739 sending again an USB request to the device.

1755 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1756 downloaded images.
1757
1758 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1759 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1760 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1761 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1762
Steve Raed1b5ed02014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001763 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH

1765 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1766 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1767
1768 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1769 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1770 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1771 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1772
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001773 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1774 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1775 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1776 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1777 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1778 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1779 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1780 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

2002 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2003 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05002004 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00002005 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2006 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2007 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2008 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2009 there is no need to set this option.
2010
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02002011 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2012
2013 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2014 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2015 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2016 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2017 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2018 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2019
2020 Example:
2021 setenv splashpos m,m
2022 => image at center of screen
2023
2024 setenv splashpos 30,20
2025 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2026
2027 setenv splashpos -10,m
2028 => vertically centered image
2029 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2030
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002031- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2032
2033 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2034 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2035 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2036
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002037- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2038
2039 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2040 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2041 bmp command.
2042
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002043- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002044 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2045
2046 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2047 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2048
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002049- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002050 CONFIG_GZIP
2051
2052 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2053
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002054 CONFIG_BZIP2
2055
2056 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2057 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2058 compressed images are supported.
2059
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002060 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002061 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002062 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002063
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002064 CONFIG_LZMA
2065
2066 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2067 images is included.
2068
2069 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2070 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2071 formula:
2072
2073 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2074
2075 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2076 and Literal pos bits.
2077
2078 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2079 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2080 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2081 a very small buffer.
2082
2083 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2084 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002085 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002086
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002087 CONFIG_LZO
2088
2089 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2090 is included.
2091
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002092- MII/PHY support:

2095 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2096
2097 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2098
2099 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2100
2101 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2102
2103 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002104 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002105
2106 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2107
2108 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2109 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2110 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2111 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2112
2113 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2114
2115 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2116 command issued before MII status register can be read

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002126 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
2127 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002128 is not determined automatically.

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002145 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2146
2147 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2148 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2149
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002150- Gateway IP address:
2151 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2152
2153 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2154 default router where packets to other networks are
2155 sent to.
2156 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2157
2158- Subnet mask:
2159 CONFIG_NETMASK
2160
2161 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2162 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2163 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2164 forwarded through a router.
2165 (Environment variable "netmask")
2166
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002167- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2168 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2169
2170 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2171 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002172 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002173 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2174 multicast group.
2175
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002176- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2177 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2178
2179 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2180 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2181 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2182 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2183 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2184 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2185 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2186 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002187 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002188
2189 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2190 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2191 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2192 4th and following
2193 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2194
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002195 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2196
2197 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2198 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2199 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2200 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2201 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2202 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2203 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2204 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2205 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2206 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2207 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2208 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2209 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2210 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2211 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2212

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002231 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2232 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002233
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002234 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2235 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2236 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2237 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2238 is not available.
2239
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002240 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2241 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2242 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2243 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2244 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2245 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2246 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002247 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002248
2249 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2250 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2251 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002252 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002253 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2254 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002255
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002256 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2257
2258 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2259 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2260 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2261 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2262 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2263 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2264 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2265 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2266 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2267 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2268 this delay.
2269
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002270 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2271 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2272 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2273 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2274 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002320- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2321
2322 Several configurations allow to display the current
2323 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2324 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2325 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2326 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2327 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2328 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2329 feature in U-Boot.
2330
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002331 Additional options:
2332
2333 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2334 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2335 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2336 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2337 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2338
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002339 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2340 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2341 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2342 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2343 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2344 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2345
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002346- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2347

2349 on those systems that support this (optional)
2350 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002528- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002529
2530 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2531 provides the following compelling advantages:
2532
2533 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2534 - approved multibus support
2535 - better i2c mux support
2536
2537 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2538
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002539 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2540 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2541 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002542
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002543 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002544 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002545 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2546 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002547 command line interface.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002550
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002551 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002552 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002554 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002555 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002556 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002557 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002558
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002559 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002560 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002561 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2562 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2563 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002564
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002565 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2566
2567 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2568 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2569 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2570 commands until the slave device responds.
2571
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002572 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2645 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2646 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2647
2648 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2649 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002652
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002653 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2654 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2655 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2656 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2657 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2658 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2659 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2660 is run early in the boot sequence.

Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002662 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2663
2664 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2665 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2666 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2667 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2668 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2669 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2670 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2671 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2672
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002673 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2674
2675 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2676 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2677 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002679 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2680
2681 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002682 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2683 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002684 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

2688 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002689 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002690 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2691 a 1D array of device addresses

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002696
2697 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus

2726
2727 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2728 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2729 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2730 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2731 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2732 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2733 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002865
2866- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2867
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002868 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2869 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002870 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002871 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2872 protects these variables from casual modification by
2873 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2874 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002875 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002876
2877 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2878 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002879 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002880 these parameters.
2881
2882 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2883 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002884 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002885 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2886 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2887 read-only.]
2888
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002889 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2890 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2891 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2892 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2893
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002894- Protected RAM:
2895 CONFIG_PRAM
2896
2897 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2898 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2899 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2900 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2901 this default value by defining an environment
2902 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2903 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2904 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2905 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2906 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2907 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2908 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2909
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002910 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002911 saveenv
2912
2913 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2914 either, which results in a memory region that will
2915 not be affected by reboots.
2916
2917 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2918 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2919 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2920 following board configurations are known to be
2921 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002927- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2928 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2929 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2930 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2931 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2932 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2933 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002935- Error Recovery:
2936 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2937
2938 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2939 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2940 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002941 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002942 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2943 useful during development since you can try to debug
2944 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2945
2946 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2947
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002948 This variable defines the number of retries for
2949 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2950 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2951 default value of 5 is used.

2967 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2968
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002969 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002970
2971 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2972 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2973 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2974
2975 Note:
2976
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002977 In the current implementation, the local variables
2978 space and global environment variables space are
2979 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2980 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2981 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2982 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2983 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002984
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002985 Global environment variables are those you use
2986 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2987 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2988 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002989
2990 To store commands and special characters in a
2991 variable, please use double quotation marks
2992 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2993 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2994 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003003 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
3004
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003005 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
3006 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003007 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00003008
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003009 For example, place something like this in your
3010 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003011
3012 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3013 "myvar1=value1\0" \
3014 "myvar2=value2\0"
3015
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003016 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3017 internal format how the environment is stored by the
3018 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3019 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003020 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003021 You better know what you are doing here.
3022
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003023 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3024 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003025 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003026 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00003028 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3029
3030 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3031 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3032 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3033
3034 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3035
3036 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3037 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3038 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3039 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3040 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3041
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003042 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3043
3044 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3045 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3046 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3047
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003048 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3049
3050 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003051 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003052 that so that the environment is not available until
3053 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3054 this is instead controlled by the value of
3055 /config/load-environment.
3056
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003057- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003058 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3059
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003060 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3061 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3062 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003063
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003064- Serial Flash support
3065 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3066
3067 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3068 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3069
3070 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3071 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3072 commands.
3073
3074 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3075 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3076 flash is present on the system.
3077
3078 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3079 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3080 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3081 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3082
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003083 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3084
3085 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3086 test ('sf test').
3087
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05303088 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3089
3090 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3091 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3092
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303093 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3094
3095 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3096 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003097 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303098
Heiko Schocher562f8df2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02003099 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3100 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3101 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3102 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3103 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3104 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3105 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3106 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3107 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3108 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3109
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003110- SystemACE Support:
3111 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3112
3113 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3114 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003115 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003116 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003117
3118 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003119 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003120
3121 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3122 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3123
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003124- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3125 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3126
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003127 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003128 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003129 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003130 number generator is used.
3131
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003132 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3133 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3134 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3135
3136 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003137 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3138 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3139 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3140 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3141 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3142 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3143
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003144- Hashing support:
3145 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3146
3147 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3148 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3149
3150 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3151
3152 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3153 size a little.
3154
gaurav rana94e3c8c2015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303155 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3156 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3157 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3158 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3159 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3160 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3161 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3162 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3163 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3164 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3165 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3166 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003167
3168 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3169 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3170
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003171- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3172 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3173 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3174 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3175
3176 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3177 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3178 a boot from specific media.
3179
3180 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3181 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3182 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3183 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3184 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3185
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003186- Signing support:
3187 CONFIG_RSA
3188
3189 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003190 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003191
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303192 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3193 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3194 library to function.
3195
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003196 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303197 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3198 mkimage irrespective of this option.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003199
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003200- bootcount support:
3201 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3202
3203 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3204 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3205
3206 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3207 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3208 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3209 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3210 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3211 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3212 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3213 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3214 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3215 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3216 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3217 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3218 the bootcounter.
3219 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003221- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003222 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3223
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003224 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3225 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3226 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3227 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3228 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3229 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003230
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003231- Detailed boot stage timing
3232 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3233 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3234 of the boot process.
3235
3236 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3237 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3238 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3239 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3240 the limit, recording will stop.
3241
3242 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3243 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3244
3245 Timer summary in microseconds:
3246 Mark Elapsed Stage
3247 0 0 reset
3248 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start

3255
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003256 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3257 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3258 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3259
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003260 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3261 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3262 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3263 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3264 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3265 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3266 For example:
3267
3268 bootstage {
3269 154 {
3270 name = "board_init_f";
3271 mark = <3575678>;
3272 };
3273 170 {
3274 name = "lcd";
3275 accum = <33482>;
3276 };
3277 };
3278
3279 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3523 with the UBI flash translation layer
3524

3526

3531
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003532
3533 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3534 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3535 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3536 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3537 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3538 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3539
3540 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3541 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3542 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3543 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3544 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3545
3546 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003547
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003548 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3549 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3550 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3551 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3552 flash), this value is ignored.
3553
3554 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3555 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3556 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3557 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3558 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3559 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3560
3561 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3562 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3563 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3564 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3565 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3566 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3567 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3568 partition.
3569
3570 default: 20
3571
3572 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3573 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3574 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3575 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3576 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3577 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3578 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3579 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3580 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3581 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3582 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3583 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3584
3585 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3586 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3587 without a fastmap.
3588 default: 0

3593 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003864- Interrupt support (PPC):
3865
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003866 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3867 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003868 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003869 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003870 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003871 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003872 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003873 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3874 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3875 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003877- General:
3878
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003879 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3880 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3881 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003882 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003883 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3884 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3885 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003886
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003887 If there are no modem init strings in the
3888 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3889 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003890 suppressed, though.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003963- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3964 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003965 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003966 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003967 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3968 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3969 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003970 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003972 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003973
3974 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3975 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3976 be touched.
3977
3978 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3979 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3980 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3981 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3982 problems.

4011
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004012- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
4013 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
4014 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
4015 will become available before relocation. The address is just
4016 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
4017 space.
4018
4019 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
4020 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
4021 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004022 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004023 U-Boot relocates itself.
4024
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06004025 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06004026 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
4027
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07004028- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
4029 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
4030 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
4031 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
4032
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07004033- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4034 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4035 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4036 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4037 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4038 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4039 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4040 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4041 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4042 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4043 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4044 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4045 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4046 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4047 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4048 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4049
4050 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4051
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004052- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004053 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4054 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004055 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004056 to adjust this setting to your needs.
4057
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004058- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004059 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4060 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004061 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4062 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004063 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004064 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004065 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004066 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4067 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4068 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00004102 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4103 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4104
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004105- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004106
4107 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4108 without this option such a download has to be
4109 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4110 copy from RAM to flash.
4111
4112 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4113 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004114 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4115 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004116 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4117
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004118- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

4140 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4141 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4142 optionally available.
4143
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05004144- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4145 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown

4148
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02004149- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4150 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4151 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4152 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4153 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4154 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4155 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4156 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4157
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004158- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004159 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4160 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004161 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4162 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004163 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004164 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

4207 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4208 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4209 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4210 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4211 ".flags" variable.
4212
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06004213- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4214 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4215 access flags.
4216
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004217- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4218 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4219 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4220 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4221 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4222 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4223 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4224 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4225 your board please report the problem and send patches!

Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00004227- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4228 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4229 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004230 the value can be calculated on a given board.

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004232- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4233 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4234 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4235 building U-Boot to enable this.
4236
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004237The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4238of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4239following configurations:
4240
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004241- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4242
4243 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4244 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4245
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004246- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004247
4248 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4249
4250 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4251 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4252 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4253 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4254 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4255 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4256 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4257 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4258 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4259 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4260 between U-Boot and the environment.
4261
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004262 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004263
4264 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4265 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4266 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4267 for this sector is given here.
4268
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004269 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004270
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004271 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004272
4273 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4274 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004275 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004276
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004277 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004278
4279 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4280
4281
4282 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4283 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4284 the environment.
4285
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004286 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004287
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004288 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004289 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004290 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4291 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4292
4293 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4294 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4295 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4296 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4297 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4298 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4299 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4300 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4301 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4302
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004303 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4304 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004305
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004306 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004307 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004308 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004309 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004310
4311BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4312source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4313accordingly!
4314
4315
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004316- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004317
4318 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4319 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4320 environment.
4321
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004322 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4323 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004324
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004325 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004326 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4327 can just be read and written to, without any special
4328 provision.
4329
4330BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004331in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004332console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004333U-Boot will hang.
4334
4335Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4336environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4337keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4338to save the current settings.
4339
4340
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004341- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004342
4343 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4344 device and a driver for it.
4345
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004346 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4347 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004348
4349 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4350 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4351
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004352 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004353 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4354 The default address is zero.
4355
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004356 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004357 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4358 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4359 would require six bits.
4360
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004361 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004362 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004363 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004364
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004365 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004366 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4367 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4368
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004369 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004370 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4371 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4372 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4373 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4374 byte chips.
4375
4376 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4377 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4378 in the chip address.
4379
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004380 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004381 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4382
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004383 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4384 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4385 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4386
4387 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4388 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4389 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4390 EEPROM. For example:
4391
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004392 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004393
4394 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4395 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004396

wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004398
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00004399 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004400 want to use for the environment.
4401
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004402 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

4404 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004405
4406 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4407 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4408 at the specified address.
4409
Wu, Joshbd83b592014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004410- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4411
4412 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4413 want to use for the environment.
4414
4415 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4416 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4417
4418 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4419 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4420 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4421
4422 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4423
4424 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4425
4426 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4427
4428 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4429 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4430 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4431 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4432 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4433
4434 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4435 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4436
4437 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4438
4439 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4440
4441 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4442
4443 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4444
4445 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4446
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004447- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4448
4449 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4450 want to use for the local device's environment.
4451
4452 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4453 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4454
4455 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4456 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4457 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004458 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004459
4460BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4461"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004462environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4463but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004472
4473 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004474 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4475 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004485 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4486
4487 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4488 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4489 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4490 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4491 the range to be avoided.
4492
4493 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4494
4495 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4496 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4497 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4498 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4499 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004501- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4502
4503 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4504 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4505 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4506
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004507- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4508
4509 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4510 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4511 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4512
4513 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4514
4515 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4516
4517 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4518
4519 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the

4523
4524 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4525 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4526 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4527

4530
4531 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4532 when storing the env in UBI.
4533
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004534- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4535 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4536
4537 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4538
4539 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4540
4541 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4542
4543 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4544 be as following:
4545
4546 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4547 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4548 partition table.
4549 - "D:0": device D.
4550 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4551 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4552 table.
4553 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004554 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004555 partition table then means device D.
4556
4557 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4558
4559 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004560 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004561
4562 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004563 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004564
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004565- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4566
4567 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4568 environment.
4569
4570 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4571
4572 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4573
4574 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4575
4576 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4577 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4578 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4579
4580 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4581 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4582
4583 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4584 area within the specified MMC device.
4585
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004586 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4587 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4588 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4589 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4590 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4591 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4592 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4593
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004594 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4595 MMC sector boundary.
4596
4597 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4598
4599 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4600 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4601 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4602 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4603
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004604 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4605 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4606
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004607 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4608 an MMC sector boundary.
4609
4610 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4611
4612 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4613 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4614 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4615
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004616- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004617
4618 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4619 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4620 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4621 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4622 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4623 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4624 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4625
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004626Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004627has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004628created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004629until then to read environment variables.
4630
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004631The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4632is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4633with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4634necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4635"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4636have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004637
4638Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4639the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004640use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004642- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004644
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004645 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004646 also needs to be defined.
4647
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004648- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004650
Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004651- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4652 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4653 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4654 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4655 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4656 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4657
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004658- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4659 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4660 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4661 to do this.
4662
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004663- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4664 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4665 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4666 present.
4667
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004668- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4669 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4670 build system checks that the actual size does not
4671 exceed it.

4678
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004679- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004680 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004681
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004682 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4683 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4684 the IMMR register after a reset.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004685
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004686- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4687 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4688 PowerPC SOCs.
4689
4690- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4691 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4692 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4693
4694 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4695 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4696
4697- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4698 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4699 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004700 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004701 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4702 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4703 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4704
4705 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4706 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4707
4708- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004709 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4710 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004711 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4712 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4713
4714- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4715 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4716 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4717 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4718
4719- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4720 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4721 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4722

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004735 defines the offset of register from address. It
4736 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to

4939 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4940
4941- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4942 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004943 to the given FEC; i. e.
4944 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004945 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4946
4947 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4948
4949- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4950 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4951 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4952
4953- CONFIG_RMII

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004987 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004988 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4989 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4990 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004991
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004992 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4993 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4994 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4995 these initializations itself.

5008 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
5009 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
5010 previous 4k of the .text section.
5011
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00005012- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
5013 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
5014 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
5015 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
5016 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
5017 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
5018 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
5019 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
5020
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00005021- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
5022 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
5023 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
5024 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
5025 conditions but may increase the binary size.
5026
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00005027- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
5028 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
5029 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

5061 is also specified.
5062
5063- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5064 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5065 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5066 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5067 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5068
5069- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5070 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5071 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the

5094---------------------------------------------------------
5095The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5096"firmware".
5097This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5098are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5099within that device.

5102 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5103
5104- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5105 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5106 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5107 is also specified.
5108
5109- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5110 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5111 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5112 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5113 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5114
5115- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5116 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005120Building the Software:
5121======================
5122
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005123Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5124and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5125all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5126(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5127recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5128which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005129
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005130If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5131have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5132you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5133Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5134necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005135
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005136 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5137 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005138
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005139Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5140 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5141 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5142 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5143
5144 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5145
5146 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5147 be executed on computers running Windows.
5148
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005149U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5150sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151is done by typing:
5152
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005153 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005154
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005155where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005156rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005157
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005158Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5159 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5160 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5161 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005162 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005163
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005164 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005165 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005166
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005167 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005168 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005169
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005170 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005171
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005172
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005173Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5174images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005175
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005176- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5177- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5178- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005179
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005180By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5181in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5182this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5183
51841. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5185
5186 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005187 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005188 make O=/tmp/build all
5189
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +020051902. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005191
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005192 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005193 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005194 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005195 make all
5196
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005197Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005198variable.
5199
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005200
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005201Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5202for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5203native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005204
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005205
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005206If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5207to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5208steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005209
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000052101. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005211 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5212 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000052132. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5214 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5215 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
52163. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5217 your board
52183. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5219 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020052204. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000052215. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5222 to be installed on your target system.
52236. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5224 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005227Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5228==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005229
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005230If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5231or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005232provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5233the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005234official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005235
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005236But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5237cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005238the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5239just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005240for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5241select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5242environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5243you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005244
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005245 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005246
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005247or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005248
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005249 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005250
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005251When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5252U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5253setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5254built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5255<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5256location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5257variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005258
5259 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5260 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5261 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5262
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005263With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5264log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5265during the whole build process.

5329======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005330
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5332can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005333
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005334Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5335"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5336without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5337environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5338working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5339environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

5356 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5357 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5358 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5359 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5360 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005361 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and

Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005364 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005365 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5366 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5367 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5368 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5369 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is

5389 be automatically started (by internally calling
5390 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005391
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005392 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5393 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5394 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5395 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5396 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005397
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005398 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5399 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005400 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5401 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5402 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5403 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5404 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5405 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5406 access it during the boot procedure.
5407
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005408 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5409 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5410 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5411 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5412 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5413 must be accessible by the kernel.
5414
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005415 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5416 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5417 defined.
5418
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005419 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5420 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5421 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5422 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5423 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5424
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005425 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5426 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5427 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5428 is usually what you want since it allows for
5429 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5430 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005431 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005432 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5433 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5434 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5435 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005436
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005437 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5438 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5439 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5440 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5441 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5442 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005443
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005444 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005445
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5447 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5448 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5449 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5450 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5451 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5452 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005453
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005454 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005471 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5472 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005473
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005474 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005479 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5480 available network interfaces.
5481 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5482
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005483 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005484 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5485 When set to "once" the network operation will
5486 fail when all the available network interfaces
5487 are tried once without success.
5488 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5489 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005490
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005491 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005492
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005493 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005494 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5495 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5496 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5497 is silent.
5498
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005499 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005500 UDP source port.
5501
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005502 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5503 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5504
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005505 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5506 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5507
5508 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5509 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5510 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5511 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5512 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5513 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5514 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5515
5516 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005517 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005520The following image location variables contain the location of images
5521used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5522not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5523variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5524server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5525loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5526flash or offset in NAND flash.
5527
5528*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5529boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5530boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005543 bootfile - see above
5544 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5545 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5546 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5547 hostname - Target hostname
5548 ipaddr - see above
5549 netmask - Subnet Mask
5550 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005555
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005556 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5557 as type string and/or serial number
5558 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005559
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005560These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5561the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5562once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005563
5564
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005565Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005566
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005567 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5568 with the "version" command. This variable is
5569 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005576Callback functions for environment variables:
5577---------------------------------------------
5578
5579For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005580when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005581be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5582deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5583effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5584
5585The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5586U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5587
5588These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5589static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5590in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5591associations. The list must be in the following format:
5592
5593 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5594 list = entry[,list]
5595
5596If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5597Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5598
5599Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5600with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5601override any association in the static list. You can define
5602CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005603".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005609There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5610the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005615- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5616- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005617- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005618- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5619 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005620 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005621- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5622 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005623

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005627- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5628 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5629 until...do...done, ...
5630- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5631 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5632 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5633 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005634
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005635General rules:

wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005637
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005638(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5639 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5640 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5641 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005642
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005644 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005645 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5646 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5649=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005650
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005651Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005652such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5653"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005654
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005655Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5656MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5657"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005658
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005659If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5660in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5661ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5662variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005663
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005664o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5665 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005666
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005667o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5668 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is

Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005690U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5691images in two formats:
5692
5693New uImage format (FIT)
5694-----------------------
5695
5696Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5697to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5698components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5699SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5700
5701
5702Old uImage format
5703-----------------
5704
5705Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5706preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5707details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005728Linux Support:
5729==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005730
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005731Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5732easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5733U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005734
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005735U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5736special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5737"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5738instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5739serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005740
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005741- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5742 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5743 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005744
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005745- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5746 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005747
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005748- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5749 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5750 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5751 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5752 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5753 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005754

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005756Linux HOWTO:
5757============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005758
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005759Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5760---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005761
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005762U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5763configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5764(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5765Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005766
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005767But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005768
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005769Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5770include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005771Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5772and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005773as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005774
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005775Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5776If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5777is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5778doc/driver-model.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005781Configuring the Linux kernel:
5782-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005783
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005784No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5785device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005786
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005787
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005788Building a Linux Image:
5789-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005790
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005791With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5792not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5793"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5794U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5795which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5796100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005797
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005798Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005799
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005800 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005801 make oldconfig
5802 make dep
5803 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005804
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005805The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5806encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5807CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005808
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005809* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005810
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005811* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005812
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005813 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5814 -R .note -R .comment \
5815 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005816
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005817* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005818
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005819 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005820
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005821* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005822
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5824 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5825 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005826
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005827
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005828The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5829with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5830combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5831byte header containing information about target architecture,
5832operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5833stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005834
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005835"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5836print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005837
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005838In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5839contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5840checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005841
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005842 tools/mkimage -l image
5843 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005844
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005845The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5846from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005847
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005848 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5849 -n name -d data_file image
5850 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5851 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5852 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5853 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5854 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5855 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5856 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5857 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005858
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005859Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5860address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5861kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005862
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005863- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5864- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005865
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005866So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005867

5932-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005933
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005934To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5935you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005936
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005937 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005938
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005939The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5940image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5941address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5942specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5943command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006111More About U-Boot Image Types:
6112------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006113
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006114U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006115
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006116 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6117 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6118 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6119 the Standalone Program.
6120 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6121 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6122 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6123 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6124 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6125 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6126 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6127 being started.
6128 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6129 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6130 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6131 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6132 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6133 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006134
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006135 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6136 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6137 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6138 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6139 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6140 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006141
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006142 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6143 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6144 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006145
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006146 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6147 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6148 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6149 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006151Booting the Linux zImage:
6152-------------------------
6153
6154On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6155using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6156as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6157
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006158Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006159kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6160address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6161format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006167One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6168run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6169U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006170

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006205Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6206handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6207Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6208The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6209character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6210controlled by the following keys:

6274=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006275
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006276Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6277(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006278
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006279Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6280NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6281need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6282Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6283attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6284missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006285
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006286 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6287 # mkdir powerpc
6288 # ln -s powerpc machine
6289 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6290 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006291
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006292Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6293and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006294
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006295Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6296stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6297proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6298tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6303=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006304
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006305The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6306implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6307inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6308hardware.

6312---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006313
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006314The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6315starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6316system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6317This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6318is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6319at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6320options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6321models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6322MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6323locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006324
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006325 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006333 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6334 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6335 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6336 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6337 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006338 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006339 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6340 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006342 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6343 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006344 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006345 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6346 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6347 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6348 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006349
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006350 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006351 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6352 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006353 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006354 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6355 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6356 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6357 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6358 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006363It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6364code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006365
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006366* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6367 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006368
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006369* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006370 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6371 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006372
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006373* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6374 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006375
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006376Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006377normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006378turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6379simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6380functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6381functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6382the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6383place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6384reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006385
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006386When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6387relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6388GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006389
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006390For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6391 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006392 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006393 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6394 R5-R10: parameter passing
6395 R13: small data area pointer
6396 R30: GOT pointer
6397 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006399 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6400 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6401 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006405 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6406 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6407 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6408 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6409 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6410 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006458Memory Management:
6459------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006460
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006461U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6462MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006463
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006464The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6465controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6466memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6467physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006468
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006469U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6470TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6471booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6472to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006473memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006474configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6475Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006476
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006477Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6478of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006479
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006480So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6481this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006482

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006503System Initialization:
6504----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006505
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006506In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006507(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006508configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006509To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6510To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6511initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6512which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6513part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6514the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006515
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006516Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6517preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6518(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6519on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6520programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6521simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6522banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006523
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006524When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6525different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6526bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
65270x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6528contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006529
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006530Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6531and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6532Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6533pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006534
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006535Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6536until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6537running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6538new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006618All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006619coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006620"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006621
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006622Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6623MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006624reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006625sources.
6626
6627Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6628Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6629in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006630
6631Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6632- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006633- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006634- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006635- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006636- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6637
6638Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006645Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6646establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6647may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006651Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6652see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6653
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006654When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6655it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006656
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006657* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6658 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6659 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006660
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006661* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6662 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006663
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006664* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6665
6666* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6667
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006668* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6669 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006670
6671* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6672 document these in the README file.
6673
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006674* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6675 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006676 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006677 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6678 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006679
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006680 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6681 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6682 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006683
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006684 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6685 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6686 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6687 affected files).
6688
6689 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6690 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006691
6692* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6693 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6694
6695* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6696 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6697
6698
6699Notes:
6700
6701* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6702 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6703 for any of the boards.
6704
6705* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6706 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6707 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6708
6709* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6710 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6711 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6712 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6713 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6714 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006715
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006716* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6717 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6718 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6719 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
