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

30Status:
31=======
32
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 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200260 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000294The following options need to be configured:
295

628
629 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
630 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
631 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
632 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
633 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
634 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
635 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000636 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of

736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
737 the clock speed of the UARTs.
738
739 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
740
741 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
742 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
743 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
744
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000745 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
746
747 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
748 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
749 this variable to initialize the extra register.
750
751 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
752
753 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
754 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
755 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000763 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
764 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
765 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
766 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000767
768 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
769 port routines must be defined elsewhere
770 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
771
772 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

812 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
813 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
814
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000815 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

821 the "silent" environment variable. See
822 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100835- Console Rx buffer length
836 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
837 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100838 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100839 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
840 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
841 the SMC.
842
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000843- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200844 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
845 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
846 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
847 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
848 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
849 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
850 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200851 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200852 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000853
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200854 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
855 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000856
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000857- Safe printf() functions
858 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
859 the printf() functions. These are defined in
860 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
861 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
862 If this option is not given then these functions will
863 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
864 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
865
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
867 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
868 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000869 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
870 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000871
872 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
873 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
874 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
875 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
877 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
878 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
879 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
880 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
881 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
882 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
883 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
884
885- Autoboot Command:
886 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
887 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
888 define a command string that is automatically executed
889 when no character is read on the console interface
890 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
891
892 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
894 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
895 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000896
897 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000898 The value of these goes into the environment as
899 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
900 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200901 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000902
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100903- Bootcount:
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
905 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
906 cycle, see:
907 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
908
909 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
910 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
911 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
912 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
913 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
914 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
915 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
916 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
917 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
918
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000919- Pre-Boot Commands:
920 CONFIG_PREBOOT
921
922 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
923 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
924 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
925 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
926 entering interactive mode.
927
928 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
929 automatically generated or modified. For an example
930 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
931 modified when the user holds down a certain
932 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
933 booting the systems
934
935- Serial Download Echo Mode:
936 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
937 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
938 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
939 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
940 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
941 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
942 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
943
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500944- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000945 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
946 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200947 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000948
949- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500950 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
951 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000952 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
953 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500954 and augmenting with additional #define's
955 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001075
1076 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001077 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001078 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1079 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1080 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1081 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1082 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1083 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001084

1086 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1087
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001088- Regular expression support:
1089 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001090 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1091 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1092 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1093 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001094
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001095- Device tree:
1096 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1097 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1098 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1099 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1100 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1101 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1102
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001103 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1104 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001105
1106 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1107 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1108 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1109 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1110 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1111 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001112
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001113 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1115 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1116 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1117
1118 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1119
1120 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1121 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1122 still use the individual files if you need something more
1123 exotic.
1124
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001125- Watchdog:
1126 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1127 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001128 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1129 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1130 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1131 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1132 available, then no further board specific code should
1133 be needed to use it.
1134
1135 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1136 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1137 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1138 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001139
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001140- U-Boot Version:
1141 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1142 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1143 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1144 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e512012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001145 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1146 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001147
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001148- Real-Time Clock:
1149
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001150 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001151 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1152 following options:
1153
1154 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1155 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001156 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001157 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1cb8e982003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001158 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001159 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk7f70e852003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001160 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel412921d2014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001161 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenk3bac3512003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001162 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krill9536dfc2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001163 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenk4c0d4c32004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001164 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001165 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001166 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1167 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001168
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001169 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1170 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1171
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001172- GPIO Support:
1173 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001174
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001175 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1176 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1177 pins supported by a particular chip.
1178
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001179 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1180 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1181
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001182- I/O tracing:
1183 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1184 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1185 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1186 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1187 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1188 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1189 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1190 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1191
1192 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1193 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1194 still continue to operate.
1195
1196 iotrace is enabled
1197 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1198 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1199 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1200 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1201 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1202 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1203
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001204- Timestamp Support:
1205
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001206 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1207 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1208 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001209 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001210
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001211- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1212 Zero or more of the following:
1213 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1214 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1215 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1216 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1217 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1218 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1219 disk/part_efi.c
1220 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001221
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001222 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1223 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001224 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001225
1226- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001227 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1228 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001229
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001230 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1231 be performed by calling the function
1232 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1233 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001234
1235- ATAPI Support:
1236 CONFIG_ATAPI
1237
1238 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1239
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001240- LBA48 Support
1241 CONFIG_LBA48
1242
1243 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher4b142fe2009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001244 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001245 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1246 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1247
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001248 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001249 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1250 Default is 32bit.
1251
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001252- SCSI Support:
1253 At the moment only there is only support for the
1254 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1255 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1256
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001257 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1258 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1259 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001260 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1261 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001262 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001263
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001264 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1265 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
Stefan Reinauer447c0312012-10-29 05:23:48 +00001266
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001267- NETWORK Support (PCI):

Kyle Moffettce5207e2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001269 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1270
1271 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1272 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1273 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1274 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1275
1276 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1277 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1278 example with the "sspi" command.
1279
1280 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1281 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1282 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001283
Andre Schwarzac3315c2008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001284 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC

Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001592 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1593 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1594 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1595 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1596 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1597
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001598 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1599 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1600 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1601 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1602 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1603 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1604
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001605 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1606 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1607 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1608 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1609
1610 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1611 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1612 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1613 sending again an USB request to the device.

Wolfgang Denk04e5ae72011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001745 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001746 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1747 support, and should also define these other macros:

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001830 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1831
1832 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1833 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1834 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1835 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1836 a per-section basis.
1837
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001838 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1839
1840 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1841 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1842 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1843 is slow.

1852 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1853
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001854- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001855
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001856 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1857 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1858 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001859 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001860 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1861 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1862 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1863 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001864
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001865 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1866
1867 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1868 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001869 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001870 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1871 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1872 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1873 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1874 there is no need to set this option.
1875
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001876 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1877
1878 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1879 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1880 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1881 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1882 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1883 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1884
1885 Example:
1886 setenv splashpos m,m
1887 => image at center of screen
1888
1889 setenv splashpos 30,20
1890 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1891
1892 setenv splashpos -10,m
1893 => vertically centered image
1894 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1895
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001896- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1897
1898 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1899 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1900 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1901
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001902- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1903
1904 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1905 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1906 bmp command.
1907
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001908- Do compresssing for memory range:
1909 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1910
1911 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1912 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1913
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001914- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001915 CONFIG_GZIP
1916
1917 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1918
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001919 CONFIG_BZIP2
1920
1921 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1922 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1923 compressed images are supported.
1924
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001925 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001926 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001927 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001928
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001929 CONFIG_LZMA
1930
1931 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1932 images is included.
1933
1934 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1935 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1936 formula:
1937
1938 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1939
1940 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1941 and Literal pos bits.
1942
1943 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1944 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1945 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1946 a very small buffer.
1947
1948 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1949 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001950 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001951
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001952 CONFIG_LZO
1953
1954 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1955 is included.

1968 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001969 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001970
1971 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1972
1973 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1974 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1975 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1976 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1977
1978 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1979

2034
2035 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2036 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002037 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002038 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2039 multicast group.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002041- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2042 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2043
2044 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2045 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2046 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2047 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2048 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2049 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2050 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2051 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002052 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002053
2054 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2055 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2056 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2057 4th and following
2058 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2059
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002060 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2061
2062 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2063 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2064 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2065 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2066 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2067 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2068 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2069 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2070 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2071 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2072 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2073 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2074 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2075 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2076 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002096 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2097 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.

Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002099 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2100 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2101 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2102 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2103 is not available.
2104
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002105 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2106 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2107 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2108 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2109 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2110 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2111 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002112 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002113
2114 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2115 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2116 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002117 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002118 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2119 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002121 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2122
2123 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2124 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2125 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2126 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2127 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2128 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2129 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2130 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2131 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2132 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2133 this delay.
2134
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002135 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2136 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2137 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2138 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2139 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002185- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2186
2187 Several configurations allow to display the current
2188 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2189 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2190 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2191 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2192 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2193 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2194 feature in U-Boot.
2195
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002196 Additional options:
2197
2198 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2199 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2200 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2201 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2202 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2203
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002204 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2205 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2206 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2207 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2208 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2209 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2210
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002211- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2214 on those systems that support this (optional)
2215 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2346
2347 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2348 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2349 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2350 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2351 omit this define.
2352
2353 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2354 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.

2356 omit this define.
2357
2358 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2359 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2360 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2361 define.
2362
2363 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2364 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2365 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2366 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002393- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002394
2395 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2396 provides the following compelling advantages:
2397
2398 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2399 - approved multibus support
2400 - better i2c mux support
2401
2402 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2403
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002404 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2405 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2406 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002407
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002408 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002409 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002410 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2411 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002412 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002413
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002414 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002415
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002416 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002417 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002418
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002419 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002420 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002421 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002422 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002423
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002424 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002425 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002426 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2427 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2428 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002429
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002430 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2431
2432 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2433 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2434 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2435 commands until the slave device responds.
2436
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002437 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002438
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002439 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002440 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2441 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002442
2443 I2C_INIT
2444
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002445 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002446 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002447
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002448 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002449
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002450 I2C_PORT
2451
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002452 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2453 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2454 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002455
2456 I2C_ACTIVE
2457
2458 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2459 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2460 define can be null.
2461
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002462 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2463
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002464 I2C_TRISTATE
2465
2466 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2467 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2468 define can be null.
2469
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002470 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2471
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002472 I2C_READ
2473
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002474 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2475 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002476
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002477 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2478
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002479 I2C_SDA(bit)
2480
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002481 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2482 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002483
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002484 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002485 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \

wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002487
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002488 I2C_SCL(bit)
2489
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002490 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2491 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002492
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002493 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002494 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002495 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002496
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002497 I2C_DELAY
2498
2499 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2500 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002501 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002502 like:
2503
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002504 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002505
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002506 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2507
2508 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2509 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2510 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2511 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2512
2513 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2514 the generic GPIO functions.
2515
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002516 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002517
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002518 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2519 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2520 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2521 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2522 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2523 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2524 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2525 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002526
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002527 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2528
2529 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2530 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2531 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2532 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2533 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2534 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2535 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2536 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2537
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002538 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2539
2540 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2541 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2542 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2543
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002544 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2545
2546 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002547 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2548 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002549 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2550
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002551 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002552
2553 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002554 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002555 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2556 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002557
2558 e.g.
2559 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002560 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002561
2562 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2563
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002564 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002565 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002566
2567 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2568
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002569 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002570
2571 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2572 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2573
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002574 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002575
2576 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2577 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2578
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002579 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002580
2581 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2582 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2583
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002584 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002585
2586 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2587 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2588 specified DTT device.
2589
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002590 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2591
2592 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2593 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2594 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2595 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2596 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2597 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2598 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002618 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2619 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2620 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2621 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2622 defined, the board configuration must define several
2623 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2624 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2717- Configuration Management:
Stefan Roeseb2b8a692014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002718 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2719
2720 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2721 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2722 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2723 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2724 make / MAKEALL.
2725
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002726 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2727
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002728 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2729 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002730
2731- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2732
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002733 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2734 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002735 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002736 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2737 protects these variables from casual modification by
2738 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2739 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002740 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002741
2742 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2743 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002744 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002745 these parameters.
2746
2747 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2748 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002749 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002750 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2751 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2752 read-only.]
2753
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002754 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2755 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2756 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2757 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2758
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002759- Protected RAM:
2760 CONFIG_PRAM
2761
2762 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2763 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2764 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2765 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2766 this default value by defining an environment
2767 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2768 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2769 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2770 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2771 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2772 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2773 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2774
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002775 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002776 saveenv
2777
2778 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2779 either, which results in a memory region that will
2780 not be affected by reboots.
2781
2782 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2783 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2784 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2785 following board configurations are known to be
2786 "pRAM-clean":
2787
Wolfgang Denk1b0757e2012-10-24 02:36:15 +00002788 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002791
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002792- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2793 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2794 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2795 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2796 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2797 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2798 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2799
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002800- Error Recovery:
2801 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2802
2803 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2804 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2805 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002806 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002807 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2808 useful during development since you can try to debug
2809 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2810
2811 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2812
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002813 This variable defines the number of retries for
2814 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2815 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2816 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002817
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002818 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2819
2820 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2821
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002822 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2823
2824 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2825 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2826 try longer timeout such as
2827 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2828
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002829- Command Interpreter:

wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002831
2832 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2833
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002834 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002835
2836 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2837 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2838 powerful command line syntax like
2839 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2840 constructs ("shell scripts").
2841
2842 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2843 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2844
2845
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002846 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002847
2848 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2849 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2850 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2851
2852 Note:
2853
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002854 In the current implementation, the local variables
2855 space and global environment variables space are
2856 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2857 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2858 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2859 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2860 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002861
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002862 Global environment variables are those you use
2863 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2864 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2865 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002866
2867 To store commands and special characters in a
2868 variable, please use double quotation marks
2869 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2870 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2871 symbols.

2881
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002882 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2883 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002884 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002885
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002886 For example, place something like this in your
2887 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002888
2889 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2890 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2891 "myvar2=value2\0"
2892
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002893 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2894 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2895 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2896 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002897 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002898 You better know what you are doing here.
2899
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002900 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2901 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002902 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002903 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002904
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002905 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2906
2907 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2908 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2909 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2910
2911 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2912
2913 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2914 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2915 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2916 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2917 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC

2920
2921 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2922 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2923 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2924
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002925 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2926
2927 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2928 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2929 that so that the environment is not available until
2930 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2931 this is instead controlled by the value of
2932 /config/load-environment.

2946
2947 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2948 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2949 commands.
2950
2951 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2952 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2953 flash is present on the system.
2954
2955 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2956 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2957 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2958 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2959
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002960 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2961
2962 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2963 test ('sf test').
2964
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302965 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2966
2967 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2968 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2969
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302970 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2971
2972 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2973 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2974 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2975
Heiko Schocher562f8df2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02002976 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2977 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2978 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2979 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2980 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2981 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2982 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2983 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2984 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2985 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2986
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002987- SystemACE Support:
2988 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2989
2990 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2991 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002992 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002993 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002994
2995 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002996 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002997
2998 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2999 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3000
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003001- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3002 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3003
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003004 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003005 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003006 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003007 number generator is used.
3008
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003009 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3010 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3011 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3012
3013 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003014 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3015 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3016 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3017 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3018 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3019 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3020
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003021- Hashing support:
3022 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3023
3024 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3025 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3026
3027 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3028
3029 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3030 size a little.
3031
3032 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3033 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3034
3035 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3036 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3037
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003038- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3039 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3040 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3041 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3042
3043 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3044 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3045 a boot from specific media.
3046
3047 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3048 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3049 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3050 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3051 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3052
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003053- Signing support:
3054 CONFIG_RSA
3055
3056 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003057 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003058
3059 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3060 option.
3061
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003062- bootcount support:
3063 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3064
3065 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3066 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3067
3068 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3069 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3070 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3071 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3072 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3073 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3074 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3075 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3076 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3077 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3078 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3079 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3080 the bootcounter.
3081 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003082
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003083- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003084 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3085
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003086 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3087 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3088 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3089 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3090 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3091 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003092
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003093- Detailed boot stage timing
3094 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3095 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3096 of the boot process.
3097
3098 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3099 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3100 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3101 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3102 the limit, recording will stop.
3103
3104 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3105 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3106
3107 Timer summary in microseconds:
3108 Mark Elapsed Stage
3109 0 0 reset
3110 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3111 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3112 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
3113 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
3114 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3115 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3116 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3117
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003118 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3119 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3120 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3121
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003122 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3123 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3124 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3125 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3126 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3127 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3128 For example:
3129
3130 bootstage {
3131 154 {
3132 name = "board_init_f";
3133 mark = <3575678>;
3134 };
3135 170 {
3136 name = "lcd";
3137 accum = <33482>;
3138 };
3139 };
3140
3141 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3313 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3314 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3315 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3316 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3317 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3318 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3319
Simon Glass3e569a62013-06-13 15:10:00 -07003320 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3321 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3322 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
3323 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3324
Heiko Schocher21d29f72014-05-28 11:33:33 +02003325 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3326 signature check the legacy image format is default

Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003335- Standalone program support:
3336 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3337
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003338 This option defines a board specific value for the
3339 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3340 overwriting the architecture dependent default
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003341 settings.
3342
3343- Frame Buffer Address:

3346 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
Wolfgang Denk44a53b52013-01-03 00:43:59 +00003347 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3348 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3349 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3350 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3351 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3352 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3353 configured panel size.

3378
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003379- UBI support
3380 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3381
3382 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3383 with the UBI flash translation layer
3384
3385 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3386
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003387 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3388
3389 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3390 warnings and errors enabled.
3391
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003392
3393 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3394 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3395 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3396 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3397 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3398 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3399
3400 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3401 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3402 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3403 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3404 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3405
3406 default: 4096
3407
3408 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3409 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3410 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3411 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3412 flash), this value is ignored.
3413
3414 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3415 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3416 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3417 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3418 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3419 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3420
3421 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3422 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3423 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3424 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3425 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3426 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3427 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3428 partition.
3429
3430 default: 20
3431
3432 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3433 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3434 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3435 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3436 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3437 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3438 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3439 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3440 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3441 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3442 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3443 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3444
3445 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3446 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3447 without a fastmap.
3448 default: 0
3449
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003450- UBIFS support
3451 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3452
3453 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3454 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3455
3456 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3457
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003458 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3459
3460 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3461 warnings and errors enabled.

Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003664 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
Benoît Thébaudeau6113d3f2013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003665 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3666 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3667 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3668 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3669 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003670
Scott Woodca2fca22012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003671 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3672 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3673 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3674 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3675
Simon Glass87ebee32013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003676 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3677 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3678 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3679 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3680 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

3685
3686 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3687 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3688 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02003689 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3690 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003693Modem Support:
3694--------------
3695
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003696[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003697
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003698- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003699 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT

3702 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3703
3704- Modem debug support:
3705 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3706
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003707 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3708 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003709
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003710- Interrupt support (PPC):
3711
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003712 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3713 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003714 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003715 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003716 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003717 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003718 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003719 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3720 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3721 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003723- General:
3724
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003725 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3726 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3727 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003728 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003729 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3730 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3731 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003732
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003733 If there are no modem init strings in the
3734 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3735 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003736 suppressed, though.

3741------------------------------
3742
3743During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3744to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3745before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3746following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3747architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3748typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003785
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003786- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003787 If the board specific function
3788 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3789 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003790 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3791
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003792- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003793 Enable the call to overwrite_console().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003796 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3797
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003798- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003799 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3800 simple memory test.
3801
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003802- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003803 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003805- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003806 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3807 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3808
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003809- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3810 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003811 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003812 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003813 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3814 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3815 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003816 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003817 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003818 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003819
3820 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3821 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3822 be touched.
3823
3824 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3825 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3826 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3827 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3828 problems.
3829
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003830- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003837 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3838 Cogent motherboard)
3839
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003840- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003841 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3842
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003843- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003844 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3845 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk14d0a022010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003846 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003847 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003848
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003849- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003850 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3851 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3852 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3853 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003854
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003855- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003856 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3857
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003858- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3859 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3860 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3861 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3862 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3863 space.
3864
3865 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3866 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3867 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3868 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3869 U-Boot relocates itself.
3870
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003871 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003872 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3873
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003874- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003875 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3876 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003877 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003878 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3879
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003880- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003881 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3882 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3884 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003885 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003886 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003887 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003888 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3889 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3890 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003891
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003892- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3893 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3894 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3895 is enabled.
3896
3897- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3898 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3899 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3900
3901- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3902 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3903 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3904
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003905- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003923- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003924 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3925 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3926
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003927- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003928
3929 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3930 without this option such a download has to be
3931 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3932 copy from RAM to flash.
3933
3934 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3935 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003936 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3937 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003938 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3939
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003940- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003941 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003942 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003948- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3949 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3950 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3951 to the MTD layer.
3952
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003953- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

3959
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003960- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003961 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3962 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3963 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3964 optionally available.
3965
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003966- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3967 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3968 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3969 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3970
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003971- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3972 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3973 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3974 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3975 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3976 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3977 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3978 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3979
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003980- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003981 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3982 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003983 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3984 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003985 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003986 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

3997- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003998 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003999 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4000 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4001 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4002
4003 The format of the list is:
4004 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]

4026 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4027
4028 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4029 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4030 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4031 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4032 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the

4034
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06004035- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE

4037 access flags.
4038
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004039- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4040 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4041 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4042 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4043 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4044 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4045 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4046 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4047 your board please report the problem and send patches!
4048
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00004049- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4050 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4051 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4052 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004054The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4055of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4056following configurations:
4057
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004058- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4059
4060 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4061 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4062
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004063- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004064
4065 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4066
4067 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4068 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4069 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4070 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4071 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4072 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4073 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4074 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4075 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4076 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4077 between U-Boot and the environment.
4078
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004079 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004080
4081 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4082 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4083 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4084 for this sector is given here.
4085
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004086 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004087
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004088 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004089
4090 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4091 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004092 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004093
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004094 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004095
4096 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4097
4098
4099 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4100 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4101 the environment.
4102
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004103 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004104
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004105 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004106 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004107 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4108 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4109
4110 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4111 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4112 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4113 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4114 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4115 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4116 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4117 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4118 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4119
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004120 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4121 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004122
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004123 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004124 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004125 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004126 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004127
4128BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4129source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4130accordingly!
4131
4132
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004133- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004134
4135 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4136 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4137 environment.
4138
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004139 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4140 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004141
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004142 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004143 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4144 can just be read and written to, without any special
4145 provision.
4146
4147BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4148in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004149console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004150U-Boot will hang.
4151
4152Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4153environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4154keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4155to save the current settings.
4156
4157
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004158- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004159
4160 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4161 device and a driver for it.
4162
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004163 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4164 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004165
4166 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4167 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4168
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004169 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004170 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4171 The default address is zero.
4172
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004173 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004174 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4175 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4176 would require six bits.
4177
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004178 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004179 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004180 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004181
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004182 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004183 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4184 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4185
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004186 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004187 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4188 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4189 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4190 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4191 byte chips.
4192
4193 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4194 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4195 in the chip address.
4196
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004197 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

4199
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004200 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4201 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your

4203
4204 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4205 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4206 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4207 EEPROM. For example:
4208
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004209 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004210
4211 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4212 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4230 want to use for the environment.
4231
4232 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4233 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4234
4235 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

4246 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4247 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4248 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4249 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4250
4251 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):

4267 want to use for the local device's environment.
4268
4269 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4270 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4271
4272 These two #defines specify the address and size of the

4277BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4278"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004279environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4280but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004302 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4303
4304 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4305 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4306 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4307 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4308 the range to be avoided.
4309
4310 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4311
4312 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4313 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4314 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4315 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4316 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004318- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4319
4320 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4321 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4322 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4323
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004324- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4325
4326 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4327 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4328 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4329
4330 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4331
4332 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4333
4334 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4335
4336 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4337 environment in.
4338
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004339 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4340
4341 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4342 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4343 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4344
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004345 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4346 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4347
4348 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4349 when storing the env in UBI.
4350
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004351- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4352 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4353
4354 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4355
4356 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4357
4358 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4359
4360 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4361 be as following:
4362
4363 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4364 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4365 partition table.
4366 - "D:0": device D.
4367 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4368 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4369 table.
4370 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4371 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4372 partition table then means device D.
4373
4374 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4375
4376 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4377 envrionment.
4378
4379 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4380 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4381
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004382- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4383
4384 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4385 environment.
4386
4387 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4388
4389 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4390
4391 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4392
4393 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4394 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4395 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4396
4397 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4398 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4399
4400 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4401 area within the specified MMC device.
4402
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004403 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4404 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4405 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4406 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4407 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4408 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4409 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4410
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004411 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4412 MMC sector boundary.
4413
4414 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4415
4416 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4417 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4418 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4419 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4420
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004421 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4422 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4423
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004424 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4425 an MMC sector boundary.
4426
4427 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4428
4429 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4430 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4431 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4432
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004433- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004434
4435 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4436 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4437 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4438 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4439 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4440 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4441 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4442
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004443Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004444has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004445created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004446until then to read environment variables.
4447
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004448The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4449is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4450with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4451necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4452"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4453have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004454
4455Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4456the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004457use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004463 also needs to be defined.
4464
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004465- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004468- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4469 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4470 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4471 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4472 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4473 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4474
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004475- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4476 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4477 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4478 to do this.
4479
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004480- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4481 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4482 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4483 present.
4484
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004485- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4486 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004503- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4504 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4505 PowerPC SOCs.
4506
4507- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4508 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4509 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4510
4511 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4512 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4513
4514- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4515 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4516 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004517 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004518 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4519 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4520 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4521
4522 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4523 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4524
4525- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004526 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4527 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004528 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4529 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4530
4531- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4532 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4533 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4534 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4535
4536- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4537 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4538 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004560 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004561 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4562 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board

4571 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4572 is requierd.

4807 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4808 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4809 these initializations itself.

Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004812 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4813 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4814 compiling a NAND SPL.

Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004816- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4817 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4818 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4819 It is loaded by the SPL.
4820
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004821- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4822 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4823 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4824 previous 4k of the .text section.
4825
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004826- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4827 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4828 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4829 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4830 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4831 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4832 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4833 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4834
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004835- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4836 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4837 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4838 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4839 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4840
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004841- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4842 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4843 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004858Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4859-----------------------------------
4860
4861The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4862loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4863This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4864are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4865within that device.
4866
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004867- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4868 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4869 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4870 is also specified.
4871
4872- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4873 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004874 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4875 is also specified.
4876
4877- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4878 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4879 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4880 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4881 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4882
4883- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4884 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4885 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4886 virtual address in NOR flash.
4887
4888- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4889 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4890 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4891
4892- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4893 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4894 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4895
4896- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4897 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4898 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4899
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004900- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4901 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4902 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004903 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4904 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4905 master's memory space.

J. German Riverab940ca62014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004907Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4908---------------------------------------------------------
4909The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4910"firmware".
4911This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4912are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4913within that device.
4914
4915- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4916 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4917
4918- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4919 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4920 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4921 is also specified.
4922
4923- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4924 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4925 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4926 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4927 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4928
4929- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4930 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4931 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4932 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004934Building the Software:
4935======================
4936
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004937Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4938and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4939all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4940(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4941recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4942which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004943
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004944If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4945have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4946you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4947Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4948necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004949
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004950 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4951 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004952
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004953Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4954 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4955 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4956 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4957
4958 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4959
4960 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4961 be executed on computers running Windows.
4962
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004963U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4964sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004965is done by typing:
4966
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004967 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004968
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004969where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004970rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004971
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004972Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4973 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4974 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4975 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004976 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004977
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004978 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004979 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004980
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004981 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004982 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004983
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004984 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004985
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004986
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004987Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4988images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004989
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004990- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4991- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4992- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004993
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004994By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4995in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4996this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4997
49981. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4999
5000 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005001 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005002 make O=/tmp/build all
5003
50042. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
5005
5006 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5007 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005008 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005009 make all
5010
5011Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
5012variable.
5013
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005014
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5016for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5017native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005018
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005019
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005020If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5021to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5022steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005023
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050241. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005025 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5026 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050272. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5028 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5029 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
50303. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5031 your board
50323. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5033 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050344. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050355. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5036 to be installed on your target system.
50376. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5038 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005039

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5042==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005043
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005044If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5045or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005046provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5047the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005048official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005049
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005050But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5051cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005052the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5053just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005054for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5055select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5056environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5057you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005058
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005059 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005060
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005061or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005062
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005063 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005064
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005065When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5066U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5067setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5068built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5069<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5070location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5071variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005072
5073 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5074 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5075 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5076
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005077With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5078log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5079during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005142Environment Variables:
5143======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005144
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005145U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5146can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005147
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5149"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5150without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5151environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5152working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5153environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005154
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005155Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5156
5157List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005158
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005159 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005160
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005161 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005162
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005163 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005164
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005165 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005166
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005167 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005168
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005169 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5170 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5171 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5172 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5173 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5174 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005175 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5176 bootm_mapsize.
5177
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005178 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005179 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5180 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5181 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5182 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5183 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5184 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005185
5186 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5187 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5188 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5189 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5190 environment variable.
5191
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005192 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5193 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5194 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5195
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005196 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5197 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5198 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5199 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005200
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005201 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5202 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5203 be automatically started (by internally calling
5204 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005205
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005206 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5207 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5208 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5209 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5210 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005211
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005212 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5213 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005214 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5215 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5216 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5217 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5218 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5219 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5220 access it during the boot procedure.
5221
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005222 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5223 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5224 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5225 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5226 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5227 must be accessible by the kernel.
5228
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005229 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5230 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5231 defined.
5232
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005233 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5234 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5235 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5236 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5237 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5238
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005239 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5240 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5241 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5242 is usually what you want since it allows for
5243 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5244 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005245 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005246 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5247 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5248 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5249 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005250
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005251 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5252 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5253 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5254 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5255 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5256 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005257
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005258 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005259
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005260 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5261 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5262 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5263 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5264 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5265 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5266 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005267
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005268 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005282
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005283 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005284
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005285 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5286 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005287
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005288 => setenv ethact FEC
5289 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5290 => setenv ethact SCC
5291 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005292
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005293 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5294 available network interfaces.
5295 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5296
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005297 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005298 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5299 When set to "once" the network operation will
5300 fail when all the available network interfaces
5301 are tried once without success.
5302 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5303 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005304
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005305 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005306
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005307 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5308 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5309 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5310 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5311 is silent.
5312
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005313 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005314 UDP source port.
5315
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005316 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5317 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5318
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005319 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5320 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5321
5322 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5323 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5324 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5325 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5326 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5327 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5328 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5329
5330 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005331 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005332 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005333
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005334The following image location variables contain the location of images
5335used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5336not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5337variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5338server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5339loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5340flash or offset in NAND flash.
5341
5342*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5343boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5344boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005353The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5354updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5355depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005356
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005357 bootfile - see above
5358 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5359 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5360 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5361 hostname - Target hostname
5362 ipaddr - see above
5363 netmask - Subnet Mask
5364 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5365 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005366
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005367
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005368There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005369
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005370 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5371 as type string and/or serial number
5372 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005373
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005374These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5375the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5376once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005377
5378
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005379Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005380
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005381 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5382 with the "version" command. This variable is
5383 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005384
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005385
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005386Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5387only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005390Callback functions for environment variables:
5391---------------------------------------------
5392
5393For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5394when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5395be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5396deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5397effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5398
5399The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5400U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5401
5402These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5403static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5404in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5405associations. The list must be in the following format:
5406
5407 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5408 list = entry[,list]
5409
5410If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5411Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5412
5413Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5414with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5415override any association in the static list. You can define
5416CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5417".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005423There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5424the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005426Old, simple command line parser:
5427--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005428
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005429- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5430- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005431- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005432- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5433 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005434 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005435- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5436 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005437

5439-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005440
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005441- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5442 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5443 until...do...done, ...
5444- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5445 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5446 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5447 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005448
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005449General rules:
5450--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005451
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005452(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5453 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5454 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5455 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005456
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005458 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005459 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5460 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005462Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5463=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005464
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005465Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005466such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5467"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005468
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005469Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5470MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5471"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005472
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005473If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5474in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5475ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5476variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005477
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005478o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5479 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005480
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005481o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5482 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5483 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005484
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005485o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5486 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005487
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005488o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5489 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5490 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005491
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005492o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5493 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005494
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005495If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005496will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005497may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5498The naming convention is as follows:
5499"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005500
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005501Image Formats:
5502==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005503
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005504U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5505images in two formats:
5506
5507New uImage format (FIT)
5508-----------------------
5509
5510Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5511to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5512components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5513SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5514
5515
5516Old uImage format
5517-----------------
5518
5519Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5520preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5521details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005522
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005523* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005537The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5538and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5539CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005540
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005541
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005542Linux Support:
5543==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005544
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005545Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5546easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5547U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005548
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005549U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5550special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5551"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5552instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5553serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005554
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005555- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5556 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5557 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005558
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005559- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5560 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005561
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005562- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5563 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5564 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5565 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5566 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5567 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005568
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005569
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005570Linux HOWTO:
5571============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005572
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005573Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5574---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005575
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005576U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5577configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5578(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5579Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005580
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005581But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005582
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005583Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5584include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005585Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5586and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005587as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005588
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005589Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5590If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5591is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5592doc/driver-model.
5593
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005594
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005595Configuring the Linux kernel:
5596-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005597
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005598No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5599device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005600
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005601
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005602Building a Linux Image:
5603-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005604
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5606not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5607"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5608U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5609which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5610100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005611
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005612Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005613
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005614 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005615 make oldconfig
5616 make dep
5617 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005618
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005619The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5620encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5621CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005622
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005623* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005624
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005625* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005626
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005627 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5628 -R .note -R .comment \
5629 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005630
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005631* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005632
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005634
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005635* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005636
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005637 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5638 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5639 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005640
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005641
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5643with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5644combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5645byte header containing information about target architecture,
5646operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5647stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005648
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005649"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5650print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005651
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005652In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5653contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5654checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005655
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005656 tools/mkimage -l image
5657 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005658
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005659The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5660from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005661

wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005673Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5674address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5675kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005676
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005677- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5678- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005679
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005680So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005681

5704speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5705needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5706need to be uncompressed:

5735option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5736option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5737from the image:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005744Installing a Linux Image:
5745-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005746
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005747To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5748you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005749
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005750 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005751
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005752The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5753image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5754address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5755specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5756command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005757
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005758Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005924More About U-Boot Image Types:
5925------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005926
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005927U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005928
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005929 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5930 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5931 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5932 the Standalone Program.
5933 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5934 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5935 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5936 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5937 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5938 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5939 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5940 being started.
5941 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5942 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5943 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5944 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005948 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5949 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5950 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5951 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5952 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5953 a multiple of 4 bytes).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005955 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5956 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5957 flash memory.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005959 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5960 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5961 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5962 as command interpreter.

5965-------------------------
5966
5967On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5968using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5969as the syntax of "bootm" command.

Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005971Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005972kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5973address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5974format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005980One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5981run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5982U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005983
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005984Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005989'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5990application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5991It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5992like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006018Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6019handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6020Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6021The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6022character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6023controlled by the following keys:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006088
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006089Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6090(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006091
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006092Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6093NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6094need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6095Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6096attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6097missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006099 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6100 # mkdir powerpc
6101 # ln -s powerpc machine
6102 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6103 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006104
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006105Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6106and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006107
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006108Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6109stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6110proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6111tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6116=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006117
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006118The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6119implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6120inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6121hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006124Initial Stack, Global Data:
6125---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006126
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006127The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6128starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6129system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6130This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6131is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6132at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6133options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6134models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6135MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6136locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006137
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006138 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006146 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6147 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6148 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6149 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6150 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006151 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006152 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6153 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006154
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006155 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6156 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006157 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006158 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6159 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6160 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6161 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006162
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006163 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006164 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6165 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006166 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006167 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6168 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6169 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6170 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6171 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006176It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6177code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006178
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006179* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6180 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006181
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006182* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006183 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6184 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006185
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006186* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6187 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006188
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006189Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6190normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6191turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6192simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6193functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6194functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6195the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6196place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6197reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006198
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006199When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6200relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6201GCC's implementation.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006203For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6204 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006205 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006206 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6207 R5-R10: parameter passing
6208 R13: small data area pointer
6209 R30: GOT pointer
6210 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006211
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006212 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6213 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6214 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006215
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006216 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006217
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006218 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6219 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6220 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6221 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6222 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6223 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271Memory Management:
6272------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006273
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006274U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6275MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006276
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006277The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6278controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6279memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6280physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006281
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006282U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6283TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6284booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6285to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006286memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006287configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6288Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006289
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006290Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6291of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006292
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006293So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6294this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006295
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006296 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6297 :
6298 0x0000 1FFF
6299 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6300 :
6301 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006302
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006303 :
6304 :
6305 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6306 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6307 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6308 :
6309 0x00FD FFFF
6310 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6311 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6312 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6313 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006314
6315
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006316System Initialization:
6317----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006318
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006319In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006320(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006321configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6322To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6323To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6324initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6325which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6326part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6327the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006328
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006329Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6330preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6331(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6332on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6333programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6334simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6335banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006336
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006337When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6338different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6339bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63400x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6341contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006342
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006343Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6344and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6345Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6346pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006347
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006348Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6349until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6350running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6351new address in RAM.

6468it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006469
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006470* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6471 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6472 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006473
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006474* For new features: a description of the feature and your

6479* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6480
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006481* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6482 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006483
6484* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6485 document these in the README file.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006487* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6488 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006489 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006490 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6491 with some other mail clients.

6508* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6509 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

6511
6512Notes:
6513
6514* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6515 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6516 for any of the boards.
6517
6518* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6519 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6520 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6521
6522* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6523 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6524 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6525 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6526 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6527 modification.

6530 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6531 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6532 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
