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

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

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

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

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

385 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
387
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
389 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
390
391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
393
394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
398
399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
400 this erratum.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200708 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
709 is 0x00.
710 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
711 is 0xa0.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000713- Console Baudrate:
714 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
715 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200716 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
717 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000718
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100719- Console Rx buffer length
720 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
721 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100722 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100723 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
724 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
725 the SMC.
726
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000727- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200728 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
729 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
730 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
731 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
732 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
733 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
734 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200735 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200736 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000737
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200738 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
739 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000740
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000741- Safe printf() functions
742 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
743 the printf() functions. These are defined in
744 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
745 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
746 If this option is not given then these functions will
747 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
748 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
749
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000750- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
751 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
752 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000753 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
754 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000755
756 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
757 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
758 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
759 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
761 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
762 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
763 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
764 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
765 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
766 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
767 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
768
769- Autoboot Command:
770 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
771 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
772 define a command string that is automatically executed
773 when no character is read on the console interface
774 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
775
776 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000777 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
778 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
779 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000780
781 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000782 The value of these goes into the environment as
783 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
784 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200785 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000786
787- Pre-Boot Commands:
788 CONFIG_PREBOOT
789
790 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
791 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
792 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
793 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
794 entering interactive mode.
795
796 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
797 automatically generated or modified. For an example
798 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
799 modified when the user holds down a certain
800 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
801 booting the systems
802
803- Serial Download Echo Mode:
804 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
805 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
806 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
807 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
808 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
809 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
810 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
811

817- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500818 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
819 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000820 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
821 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500822 and augmenting with additional #define's
823 for wanted commands.

Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500940 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000941 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
942 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
943 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
944 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
945 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
946 initial stack and some data.

949 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
950
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000951- Regular expression support:
952 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +0200953 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
954 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
955 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
956 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000957
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000958- Device tree:
959 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
960 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
961 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
962 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
963 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
964 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
965
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000966 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
967 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000968
969 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
970 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
971 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
972 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
973 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
974 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000975
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000976 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
977 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
978 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
979 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
980
981 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
982
983 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
984 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
985 still use the individual files if you need something more

1301 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1302 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1303 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001304 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001305 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1306 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denk386eda02006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001307 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001308 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1309 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1310 a Linux host by
1311 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1312 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1313 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1314 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

Przemyslaw Marczak351e9b22013-10-23 14:30:46 +02001370 Some USB device drivers may need to check USB cable attachment.
1371 In this case you can enable following config in BoardName.h:
1372 CONFIG_USB_CABLE_CHECK
1373 This enables function definition:
1374 - usb_cable_connected() in include/usb.h
1375 Implementation of this function is board-specific.
1376
Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001377- ULPI Layer Support:
1378 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1379 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1380 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1381 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1382 viewport is supported.
1383 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1384 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001385 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1386 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1387 the appropriate value in Hz.

1421
Afzal Mohammeda9479f02013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301422 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1423 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1424 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1425 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1426 one that would help mostly the developer.
1427
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001428 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1429 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1430 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1431 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1432 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1433
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001434 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1435 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1436 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1437 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1438 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1439 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1622 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1623 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1624 a per-section basis.

Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001626 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1627
1628 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1629 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1630 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1631 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001632
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001633 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1634
1635 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1636
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001637 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1638
1639 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1640 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1641
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001642- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001643
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001644 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1645 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1646 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001647 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001648 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1649 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1650 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1651 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001652
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001653 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1654
1655 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1656 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1657 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1658 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1659 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1660 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1661 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1662 there is no need to set this option.
1663
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001664 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1665
1666 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1667 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1668 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1669 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1670 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1671 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1672
1673 Example:
1674 setenv splashpos m,m
1675 => image at center of screen
1676
1677 setenv splashpos 30,20
1678 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1679
1680 setenv splashpos -10,m
1681 => vertically centered image
1682 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1683
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001684- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1685
1686 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1687 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1688 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1689
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001690- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1691
1692 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1693 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1694 bmp command.
1695
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001696- Do compresssing for memory range:
1697 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1698
1699 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1700 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1701
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001702- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001703 CONFIG_GZIP
1704
1705 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1706
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001707 CONFIG_BZIP2
1708
1709 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1710 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1711 compressed images are supported.
1712
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001713 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001714 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001715 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001716
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001717 CONFIG_LZMA
1718
1719 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1720 images is included.
1721
1722 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1723 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1724 formula:
1725
1726 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1727
1728 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1729 and Literal pos bits.
1730
1731 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1732 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1733 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1734 a very small buffer.
1735
1736 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1737 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001738 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001739
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001740 CONFIG_LZO
1741
1742 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1743 is included.
1744
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001745- MII/PHY support:
1746 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1747
1748 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1749
1750 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1751
1752 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1753
1754 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1755
1756 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001757 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001758
1759 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1760
1761 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1762 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1763 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1764 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1765
1766 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1767
1768 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1769 command issued before MII status register can be read

1801 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1802
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001803- Gateway IP address:

1805
1806 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1807 default router where packets to other networks are
1808 sent to.
1809 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1810
1811- Subnet mask:
1812 CONFIG_NETMASK
1813
1814 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1815 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1816 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1817 forwarded through a router.
1818 (Environment variable "netmask")
1819
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001820- Multicast TFTP Mode:

1822
1823 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1824 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001825 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001826 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1827 multicast group.
1828
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001829- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1830 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1831
1832 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1833 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1834 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1835 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1836 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1837 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1838 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1839 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001840 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001841
1842 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1843 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1844 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1845 4th and following
1846 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001865
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001866 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1867 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001868
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001869 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1870 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1871 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1872 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1873 is not available.
1874
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001875 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1876 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1877 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1878 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1879 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1880 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1881 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001882 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001883
1884 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1885 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1886 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001887 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001888 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1889 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001890
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001891 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1892
1893 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1894 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1895 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1896 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1897 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1898 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1899 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1900 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1901 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1902 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1903 this delay.
1904
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001905 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1906 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1907 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1908 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1909 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1910
1911 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

1916 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1917
1918 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1919
1920 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1921 of the device.
1922
1923 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1924
1925 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1926 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001927 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001928
1929 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001955- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1956
1957 Several configurations allow to display the current
1958 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1959 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1960 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1961 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1962 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1963 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1964 feature in U-Boot.
1965
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001966 Additional options:
1967
1968 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
1969 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1970 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
1971 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
1972 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1973
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02001974 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1975 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1976 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1977 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1978 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1979 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
1980
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001981- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1982
1983 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1984 on those systems that support this (optional)
1985 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1986
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00001987- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001988
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00001989 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
1990 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
1991 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
1992 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
1993 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
1994 interface.
1995
1996 ported i2c driver to the new framework:

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002143
2144 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2145 provides the following compelling advantages:
2146
2147 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2148 - approved multibus support
2149 - better i2c mux support
2150
2151 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2152
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002153 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2154 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2155 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002156
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002157 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002158 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002159 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2160 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002161 command line interface.

wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002165 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002166 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002167
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002168 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002169 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002170 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002171 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002172
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002173 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002174 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002175 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2176 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2177 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002178

2180
2181 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2182 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2183 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2184 commands until the slave device responds.
2185
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002186 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002187
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002188 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002189 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are

2202 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2203 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002204
2205 I2C_ACTIVE

2247
2248 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2249 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002250 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002251 like:
2252
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002253 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)

2256
2257 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2258 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2259 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2260 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2261
2262 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2263 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002267 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2268 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2269 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2270 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2271 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2272 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2273 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2274 is run early in the boot sequence.

2278 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2279 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2280 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2281 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2282 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2283 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2284 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2285 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2286
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002287 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2288
2289 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2290 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2291 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2292
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002293 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2294
2295 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002296 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2297 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002298 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2299
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002300 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002301
2302 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002303 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002304 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2305 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002306
2307 e.g.
2308 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002309 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002310
2311 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2312
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002313 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002314 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002315
2316 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2317

Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002319
2320 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2321 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2322
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002323 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002324
2325 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2326 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2327
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002328 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002329
2330 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2331 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2332
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002333 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002334
2335 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2336 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2337 specified DTT device.
2338
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002339 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2340
2341 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2342 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2343 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2344 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2345 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2346 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2347 the other.

2365 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2366
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002367 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2368 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2369 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2370 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2371 defined, the board configuration must define several
2372 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2373 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2376
2377 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2378 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2379 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002380 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002412 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2413 status by the configuration function. This option
2414 will require a board or device specific function to

2449- Configuration Management:
2450 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2451
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002452 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2453 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002454
2455- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2456
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002457 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2458 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002459 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002460 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2461 protects these variables from casual modification by
2462 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2463 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002464 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002465
2466 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2467 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002468 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002469 these parameters.
2470
2471 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2472 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002473 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002474 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2475 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2476 read-only.]
2477
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002478 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2479 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2480 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2481 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2482
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002483- Protected RAM:
2484 CONFIG_PRAM
2485
2486 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2487 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2488 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2489 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2490 this default value by defining an environment
2491 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2492 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2493 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2494 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2495 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2496 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2497 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2498
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002499 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002500 saveenv
2501
2502 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2503 either, which results in a memory region that will
2504 not be affected by reboots.
2505
2506 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2507 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2508 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2509 following board configurations are known to be
2510 "pRAM-clean":

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002515
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002516- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2517 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2518 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2519 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2520 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2521 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2522 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2523
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002524- Error Recovery:
2525 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2526
2527 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2528 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2529 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002530 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002531 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2532 useful during development since you can try to debug
2533 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2534
2535 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2536
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002537 This variable defines the number of retries for
2538 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2539 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2540 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002541
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002542 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2543
2544 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2545
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002546 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2547
2548 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2549 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2550 try longer timeout such as
2551 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002555
2556 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2557
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002558 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2559 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002560
2561
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002562 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002563
2564 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2565 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2566 powerful command line syntax like
2567 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2568 constructs ("shell scripts").
2569
2570 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2571 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2572
2573
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002574 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002575
2576 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2577 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2578 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2579
2580 Note:
2581
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002582 In the current implementation, the local variables
2583 space and global environment variables space are
2584 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2585 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2586 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2587 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2588 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002589
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002590 Global environment variables are those you use
2591 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2592 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2593 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002604 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002605 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002606
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002607- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002608 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2609
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002610 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2611 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002612 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002613
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002614 For example, place something like this in your
2615 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002616
2617 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2618 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2619 "myvar2=value2\0"
2620
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002621 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2622 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2623 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2624 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002625 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002626 You better know what you are doing here.
2627
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002628 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2629 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002630 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002631 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002632
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002633 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2634
2635 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2636 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2637 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2638
2639 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2640
2641 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2642 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2643 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2644 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2645 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2646
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002647 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2648
2649 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2650 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2651 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2652
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002653 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2654
2655 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2656 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2657 that so that the environment is not available until
2658 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2659 this is instead controlled by the value of
2660 /config/load-environment.
2661
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002662- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002663 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2664
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002665 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2666 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2667 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002668
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002669- Serial Flash support
2670 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2671
2672 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2673 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2674
2675 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2676 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2677 commands.
2678
2679 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2680 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2681 flash is present on the system.
2682
2683 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2684 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2685 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2686 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2687
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002688 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2689
2690 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2691 test ('sf test').
2692
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302693 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2694
2695 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2696 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2697
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002698- SystemACE Support:
2699 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2700
2701 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2702 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002703 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002704 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002705
2706 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002707 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002708
2709 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2710 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2711
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002712- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2713 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2714
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002715 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002716 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002717 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002718 number generator is used.
2719
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002720 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2721 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2722 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2723
2724 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002725 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2726 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2727 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2728 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2729 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2730 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2731
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002732- Hashing support:
2733 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2734
2735 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2736 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2737
2738 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2739
2740 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2741 size a little.
2742
2743 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2744 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2745
2746 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2747 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2748
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002749- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2750 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2751 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2752 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2753
2754 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2755 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2756 a boot from specific media.
2757
2758 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2759 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2760 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2761 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2762 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2763
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002764- Signing support:
2765 CONFIG_RSA
2766
2767 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2768 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2769
2770 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2771 option.
2772
2773
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002774- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002775 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2776
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002777 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2778 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2779 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2780 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2781 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2782 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002783
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002784- Detailed boot stage timing
2785 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2786 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2787 of the boot process.
2788
2789 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2790 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2791 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2792 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2793 the limit, recording will stop.
2794
2795 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2796 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2797
2798 Timer summary in microseconds:
2799 Mark Elapsed Stage
2800 0 0 reset
2801 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2802 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2803 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2804 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2805 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2806 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2807 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2808
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002809 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2810 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2811 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2812
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002813 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2814 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2815 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2816 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2817 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2818 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2819 For example:
2820
2821 bootstage {
2822 154 {
2823 name = "board_init_f";
2824 mark = <3575678>;
2825 };
2826 170 {
2827 name = "lcd";
2828 accum = <33482>;
2829 };
2830 };
2831
2832 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3017 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3018 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3019 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3020 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3021 configured panel size.

Scott Woodca2fca22012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003264 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3265 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3266 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3267 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3268
Simon Glass87ebee32013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003269 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3270 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3271 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3272 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3273 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

3278
3279 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3280 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3281 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02003282 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003286Modem Support:
3287--------------
3288
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003289[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003290
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003291- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003292 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3293
3294- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3295 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3296
3297- Modem debug support:
3298 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3299
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003300 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3301 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003302
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003303- Interrupt support (PPC):
3304
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003305 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3306 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003307 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003308 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003309 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003310 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003311 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003312 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3313 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3314 general timer_interrupt().
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003315
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003316- General:
3317
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003318 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3319 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3320 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003321 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003322 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3323 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3324 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003325
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003326 If there are no modem init strings in the
3327 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3328 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003329 suppressed, though.

Helmut Raiger9660e442011-10-20 04:19:47 +00003333Board initialization settings:
3334------------------------------
3335
3336During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3337to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3338before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3339following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3340architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3341typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3342
3343- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3344- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3345- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003376- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003377 If the board specific function
3378 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3379 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003380 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3381
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003382- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE

3391
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003392- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003393 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003394
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003395- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003396 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3397 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3398
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003399- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3400 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003401 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003402 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003403 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3404 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3405 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003406 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003407 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003408 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003409
3410 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3411 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3412 be touched.
3413
3414 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3415 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3416 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3417 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3418 problems.
3419

3443 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003444
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003445- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:

Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003449 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3450 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003451 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003452 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3453
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003454- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:

Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003459 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003460 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003461 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003462 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3463 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3464 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003465
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003466- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003501- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003502
3503 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3504 without this option such a download has to be
3505 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3506 copy from RAM to flash.
3507
3508 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3509 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003510 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3511 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003512 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.

wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003516 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3517
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD00b18832008-08-13 01:40:42 +02003518- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003519 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3520 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003521
Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003522- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3523 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3524 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3525 to the MTD layer.
3526
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003527- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski96ef8312008-04-03 13:36:02 +02003528 Use buffered writes to flash.
3529
3530- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3531 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3532 write commands.
3533
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003534- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003535 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3536 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3537 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3538 optionally available.
3539
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003540- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3541 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3542 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3543 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3544
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003545- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3546 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3547 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3548 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3549 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3550 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3551 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3552 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003554- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003555 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3556 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003557 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3558 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003559 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003560 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3561
Wolfgang Denkea882ba2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003562- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3563
Wolfgang Denk071bc922010-10-27 22:48:30 +02003564 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3565 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3566 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3567 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3568 lib/hashtable.c for details.

3571- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003572 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003573 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3574 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3575 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3576
3577 The format of the list is:
3578 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003579 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3580 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003581 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3582 list = entry[,list]
3583
3584 The type attributes are:
3585 s - String (default)
3586 d - Decimal
3587 x - Hexadecimal
3588 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3589 i - IP address
3590 m - MAC address
3591
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003592 The access attributes are:
3593 a - Any (default)
3594 r - Read-only
3595 o - Write-once
3596 c - Change-default
3597
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003598 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3599 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3600 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3601
3602 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3603 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3604 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3605 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3606 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3607 ".flags" variable.
3608
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003609- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3610 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3611 access flags.
3612
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003613- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3614 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3615 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3616 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3617 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3618 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3619 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3620 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3621 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3622
Simon Glass632efa72013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003623- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3624 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3625 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3626 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3627 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3628
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003629- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3630 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3631 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3632 the value can be calulated on a given board.
Simon Glass632efa72013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003633
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003634The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3635of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3636following configurations:
3637
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003638- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3639
3640 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3641 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3642
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003643- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003644
3645 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3646
3647 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3648 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3649 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3650 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3651 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3652 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3653 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3654 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3655 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3656 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3657 between U-Boot and the environment.
3658
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003659 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003660
3661 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3662 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3663 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3664 for this sector is given here.
3665
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003666 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003667
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003668 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003669
3670 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3671 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003672 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003673
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003674 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003675
3676 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3677
3678
3679 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3680 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3681 the environment.
3682
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003683 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003684
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003685 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003686 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003687 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3688 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3689
3690 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3691 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3692 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3693 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3694 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3695 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3696 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3697 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3698 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3699
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003700 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3701 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003702
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003703 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003704 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003705 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003706 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003707
3708BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3709source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3710accordingly!
3711
3712
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003713- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003714
3715 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3716 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3717 environment.
3718
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003719 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3720 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003721
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003722 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003723 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3724 can just be read and written to, without any special
3725 provision.
3726
3727BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3728in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003729console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003730U-Boot will hang.
3731
3732Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3733environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3734keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3735to save the current settings.
3736
3737
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003738- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003739
3740 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3741 device and a driver for it.
3742
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003743 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3744 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003745
3746 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3747 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3748
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003749 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003750 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3751 The default address is zero.
3752
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003753 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003754 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3755 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3756 would require six bits.
3757
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003758 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003759 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003760 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003761
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003762 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003763 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3764 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3765
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003766 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003767 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3768 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3769 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3770 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3771 byte chips.
3772
3773 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3774 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3775 in the chip address.
3776
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003777 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003778 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3779
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003780 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3781 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3782 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3783
3784 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3785 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3786 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3787 EEPROM. For example:
3788
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003789 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003790
3791 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3792 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

3805 at the specified address.
3806
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003807- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3808
3809 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3810 want to use for the local device's environment.
3811
3812 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3813 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3814
3815 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3816 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3817 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003818 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003819
3820BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3821"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003822environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,

wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003826
3827 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3828 for the environment.

3831 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003832
3833 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003834 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3835 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003838
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003839 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003840 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3841 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003842 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003843 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003844
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003845 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3846
3847 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3848 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3849 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3850 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3851 the range to be avoided.
3852
3853 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3854
3855 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3856 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3857 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3858 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3859 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003860
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003861- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3862
3863 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3864 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3865 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3866
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003867- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3868
3869 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3870 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3871 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3872
3873 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3874
3875 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3876
3877 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3878
3879 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3880 environment in.
3881
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003882 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3883
3884 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3885 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3886 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3887
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003888 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3889 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3890
3891 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3892 when storing the env in UBI.
3893
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003894- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3895
3896 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3897 environment.
3898
3899 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3900
3901 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3902
3903 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3904
3905 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3906 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3907 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3908
3909 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3910 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3911
3912 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3913 area within the specified MMC device.
3914
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003915 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3916 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3917 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3918 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3919 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3920 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3921 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3922
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003923 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3924 MMC sector boundary.
3925
3926 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3927
3928 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3929 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3930 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3931 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3932
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003933 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3934 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3935
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003936 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3937 an MMC sector boundary.
3938
3939 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3940
3941 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3942 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3943 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3944
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003945- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003946
3947 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3948 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3949 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3950 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3951 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3952 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3953 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3954
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003955Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003956has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003957created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003958until then to read environment variables.
3959
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003960The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3961is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3962with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3963necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3964"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3965have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003966
3967Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3968the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003969use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003970
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003971- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003973
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003974 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00003975 also needs to be defined.
3976
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003977- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00003978 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003979
Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08003980- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3981 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3982 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3983 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3984 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3985 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3986
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00003987- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3988 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3989 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3990 to do this.
3991
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00003992- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3993 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3994 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3995 present.

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004005
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004006 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4007 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004010- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4011 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4012 PowerPC SOCs.
4013
4014- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4015 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4016 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4017
4018 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4019 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4020
4021- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4022 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4023 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004024 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004025 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4026 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4027 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4028
4029 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4030 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4031
4032- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004033 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4034 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004035 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4036 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4037
4038- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4039 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4040 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4041 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4042
4043- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4044 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4045 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004059 defines the offset of register from address. It
4060 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004061 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)

wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004259- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4260 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4261
4262- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4263 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004264 to the given FEC; i. e.
4265 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004266 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4267
4268 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4269
4270- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4271 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4272 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4273

4303
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004304 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004305 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004308 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004309 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4310 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4311 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004312
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004313 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4314 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4315 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4316 these initializations itself.

Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004328- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4329 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4330 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4331 previous 4k of the .text section.
4332
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004333- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4334 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4335 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4336 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4337 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4338 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4339 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4340 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4341
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004342- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4343 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4344 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4345 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4346 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4347
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004348- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4349 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4350 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004351
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004352- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004357Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4358-----------------------------------
4359
4360The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4361loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4362This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4363are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4364within that device.
4365
4366- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4367 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4368 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4369 is also specified.
4370
4371- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4372 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4373 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4374 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4375 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4376
4377- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4378 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4379 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4380 virtual address in NOR flash.
4381
4382- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4383 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4384 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4385
4386- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4387 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4388 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4389
4390- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4391 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4392 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4393
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004394- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4395 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4396 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004397 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4398 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4399 master's memory space.

4402======================
4403
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004404Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4405and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4406all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4407(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4408recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4409which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004411If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4412have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4413you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4414Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4415necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004416
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004417 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4418 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004419
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004420Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4421 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4422 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4423 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4424
4425 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4426
4427 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4428 be executed on computers running Windows.
4429
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004430U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4431sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004432is done by typing:
4433
4434 make NAME_config
4435
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004436where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004437rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004438
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004439Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4440 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4441 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4442 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004443 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004444
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004445 make TQM823L_config
4446 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004447
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004448 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4449 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004450
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004451 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004452
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004453
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004454Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4455images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004456
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004457- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4458- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4459- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004460
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004461By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4462in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4463this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4464
44651. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4466
4467 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4468 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4469 make O=/tmp/build all
4470
44712. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4472
4473 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4474 make distclean
4475 make NAME_config
4476 make all
4477
4478Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4479variable.
4480
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004481
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004482Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4483for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4484native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004485
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004486
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004487If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4488to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4489steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004490
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044911. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004492 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4493 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000044942. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4495 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4496 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
44973. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4498 your board
44993. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4500 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
45014. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
45025. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4503 to be installed on your target system.
45046. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4505 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004508Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4509==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004510
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004511If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4512or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004513provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4514the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004515official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004516
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004517But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4518cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004519the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4520just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004521for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4522select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4523environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4524you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004525
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004526 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004527
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004528or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004529
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004530 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004531
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004532When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4533U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4534setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4535built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4536<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4537location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4538variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004539
4540 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4541 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4542 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4543
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004544With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4545log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4546during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004609Environment Variables:
4610======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004611
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004612U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4613can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004614
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004615Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4616"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4617without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4618environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4619working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4620environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004621
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004622Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.

4624List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004625
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004626 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004631
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004632 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004633
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004634 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004635
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004636 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4637 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4638 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4639 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4640 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4641 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004642 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4643 bootm_mapsize.
4644
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004645 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004646 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4647 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4648 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4649 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4650 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4651 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004652
4653 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4654 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4655 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4656 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4657 environment variable.
4658
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004659 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4660 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4661 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4662
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004663 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4664 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4665 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4666 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004667
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004668 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4669 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4670 be automatically started (by internally calling
4671 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004672
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004673 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4674 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4675 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4676 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4677 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004678
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004679 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4680 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004681 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4682 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4683 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4684 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4685 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4686 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4687 access it during the boot procedure.
4688
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004689 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4690 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4691 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4692 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4693 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4694 must be accessible by the kernel.
4695
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004696 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened

wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004700 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4701 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4702 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4703 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4704 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4705
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004706 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4707 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4708 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4709 is usually what you want since it allows for
4710 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4711 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004712 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004713 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4714 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4715 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4716 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004717
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004718 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4719 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4720 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4721 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4722 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4723 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004724
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004725 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004726
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004727 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4728 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4729 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4730 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4731 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4732 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4733 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004752 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4753 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004754
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004755 => setenv ethact FEC

4762 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4763
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004764 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004765 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4766 When set to "once" the network operation will
4767 fail when all the available network interfaces
4768 are tried once without success.
4769 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4770 themselves.

Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004774 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4775 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4776 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4777 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4778 is silent.
4779
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004780 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's

4782
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004783 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4784 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4785
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004786 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4787 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4788
4789 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4790 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4791 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4792 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4793 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4794 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4795 with unreliable TFTP servers.

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004801The following image location variables contain the location of images
4802used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4803not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4804variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4805server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4806loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4807flash or offset in NAND flash.
4808
4809*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4810boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4811boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004824 bootfile - see above
4825 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4826 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4827 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4828 hostname - Target hostname
4829 ipaddr - see above
4830 netmask - Subnet Mask

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004835There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004836
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004837 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

4839 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004840
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004841These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4842the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4843once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004844
4845
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004846Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004847
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004848 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4849 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004857Callback functions for environment variables:
4858---------------------------------------------
4859
4860For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4861when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4862be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4863deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4864effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4865
4866The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4867U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4868
4869These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4870static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4871in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4872associations. The list must be in the following format:
4873
4874 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4875 list = entry[,list]
4876
4877If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4878Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4879
4880Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4881with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4882override any association in the static list. You can define
4883CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4884".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004890There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4891the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004892
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004893Old, simple command line parser:
4894--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004895
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004896- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4897- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004898- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004899- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4900 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004901 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004902- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4903 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004904

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004908- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4909 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4910 until...do...done, ...
4911- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4912 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4913 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4914 command

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004916General rules:
4917--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004918
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004919(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4920 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4921 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4922 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004923
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004924(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004925 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004926 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4927 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004929Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4930=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004931
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004932Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004933such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4934"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004935
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004936Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4937MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4938"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004939
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004940If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4941in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4942ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4943variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004944
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004945o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4946 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004947
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004948o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4949 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4950 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004951
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004952o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4953 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004954
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004955o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4956 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4957 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004958
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004959o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4960 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004961
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004962If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004963will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07004964may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4965The naming convention is as follows:
4966"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

4986Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4987preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4988details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005004The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5005and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5006CRC32 checksums.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005009Linux Support:
5010==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005011
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005012Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5013easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5014U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005015
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005016U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5017special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5018"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5019instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5020serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005021
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5023 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5024 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005025
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005026- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5027 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005028
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005029- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5030 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5031 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5032 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5033 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5034 software is easier now.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005037Linux HOWTO:
5038============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005039
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005040Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5041---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005042
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5044configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5045(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5046Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005047
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005048But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005049
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005050Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5051include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005052Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5053and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005054as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005055
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005056
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005057Configuring the Linux kernel:
5058-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005059
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005060No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5061device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005062
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005063
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005064Building a Linux Image:
5065-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005066
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005067With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5068not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5069"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5070U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5071which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5072100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005073
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005074Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005075
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005076 make TQM850L_config
5077 make oldconfig
5078 make dep
5079 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005080
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005081The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5082encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5083CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005084
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005085* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005086
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005087* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005088
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005089 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5090 -R .note -R .comment \
5091 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005092
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005093* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005094
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005095 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005096
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005097* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005099 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5100 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5101 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005102
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005103
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005104The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5105with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5106combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5107byte header containing information about target architecture,
5108operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5109stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005110
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005111"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5112print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005113
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005114In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5115contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5116checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005117
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005118 tools/mkimage -l image
5119 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005120
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005121The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5122from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005123
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005124 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5125 -n name -d data_file image
5126 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5127 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5128 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5129 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5130 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5131 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5132 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5133 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005134
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005135Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5136address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5137kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005138
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005139- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5140- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005141
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005142So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005197Installing a Linux Image:
5198-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005199
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005200To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5201you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005202
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005203 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005204
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005205The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5206image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5207address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5208specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5209command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005210

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005377More About U-Boot Image Types:
5378------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005379
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005380U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005381
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005382 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5383 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5384 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5385 the Standalone Program.
5386 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5387 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5388 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5389 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5390 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5391 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5392 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5393 being started.
5394 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5395 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5396 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5397 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5398 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5399 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005400
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005401 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5402 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5403 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5404 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5405 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5406 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005407
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005408 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5409 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5410 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005411
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005412 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5413 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5414 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5415 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005417Booting the Linux zImage:
5418-------------------------
5419
5420On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5421using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5422as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5423
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005424Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005425kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5426address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5427format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5431=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005432
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005433One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5434run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5435U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005436

5443application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5444It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5445like that:

5472handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5473Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5474The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5475character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5476controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005542Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5543(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005544
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005545Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5546NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5547need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5548Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5549attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5550missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005551
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005552 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5553 # mkdir powerpc
5554 # ln -s powerpc machine
5555 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5556 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005557
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005558Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5559and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005560
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005561Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5562stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5563proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5564tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5569=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005570
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005571The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5572implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5573inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5574hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005577Initial Stack, Global Data:
5578---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005579
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005580The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5581starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5582system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5583This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5584is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5585at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5586options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5587models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5588MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5589locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005591 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005599 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5600 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5601 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5602 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5603 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005604 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5606 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5609 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005610 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005611 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5612 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5613 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5614 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005615
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005616 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005617 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5618 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005619 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5621 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5622 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5623 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5624 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005629It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5630code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005631
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005632* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5633 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005634
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005635* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5637 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005638
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005639* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5640 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005641
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5643normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5644turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5645simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5646functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5647functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5648the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5649place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5650reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005651
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005652When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5653relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5654GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005655
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005656For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5657 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005658 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005659 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5660 R5-R10: parameter passing
5661 R13: small data area pointer
5662 R30: GOT pointer
5663 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005665 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5666 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5667 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005671 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5672 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5673 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5674 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5675 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5676 624 text + 127 data).

Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005721NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005724Memory Management:
5725------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005726
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005727U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5728MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005729
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005730The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5731controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5732memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5733physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005734
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005735U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5736TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5737booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5738to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005739memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005740configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5741Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005742
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005743Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5744of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005745
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005746So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5747this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005748
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005749 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

5766 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

5768
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005769System Initialization:
5770----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005771
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005772In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005773(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005774configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5775To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5776To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5777initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5778which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5779part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5780the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005781
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005782Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5783preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5784(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5785on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5786programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5787simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5788banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005789
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005790When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5791different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5792bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
57930x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5794contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005795
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005796Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5797and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5798Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5799pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005800

5802until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5803running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5804new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005881Coding Standards:
5882-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005883
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005884All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005885coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005886"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005887
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005888Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5889MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5890reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5891sources.
5892
5893Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5894Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5895in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005896
5897Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5898- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005899- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005900- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005901- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005902- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5903
5904Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5905with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005908Submitting Patches:
5909-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005910
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005911Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5912establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5913may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005914
Magnus Lilja0d28f342008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005915Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005916
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005917Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5918see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5919
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005920When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5921it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005922
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005923* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5924 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5925 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005926
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005927* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5928 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005929
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005930* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5931
5932* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5933
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005934* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5935 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005936
5937* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5938 document these in the README file.
5939
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005940* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5941 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005942 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005943 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5944 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005945
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005946 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5947 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5948 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005949
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005950 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5951 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5952 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5953 affected files).
5954
5955 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5956 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005957
5958* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5959 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5960
5961* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5962 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5963
5964
5965Notes:
5966
5967* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5968 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5969 for any of the boards.
5970
5971* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5972 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5973 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5974
5975* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5976 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5977 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5978 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5979 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5980 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00005981
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005982* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5983 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5984 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5985 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
