9========

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

30Status:
31=======
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
275See board/sandbox/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
623
624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100632 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

673
674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
677 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
678 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
679 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
741
742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
744 this variable to initialize the extra register.
745
746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
747
748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere
765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
766
767 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
809
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
816 the "silent" environment variable. See
817 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100830- Console Rx buffer length
831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
836 the SMC.
837
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000838- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200847 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000848
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000851
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000852- Safe printf() functions
853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
854 the printf() functions. These are defined in
855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
857 If this option is not given then these functions will
858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
860
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
862 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
863 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866
867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
879
880- Autoboot Command:
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
883 define a command string that is automatically executed
884 when no character is read on the console interface
885 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
886
887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
890 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891
892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 The value of these goes into the environment as
894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200896 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000897
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100898- Bootcount:
899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
913
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000914- Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT
916
917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
938
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
941 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000943
944- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
946 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500949 and augmenting with additional #define's
950 for wanted commands.

Gerald Van Baren213bf8c2007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001068 Other Commands:
1069 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001070
1071 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001072 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001073 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1074 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1075 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1076 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1077 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1078 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001079
1080
1081 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1082
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001083- Regular expression support:
1084 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001085 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1086 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1087 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1088 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001089
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001090- Device tree:
1091 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1092 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1093 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1094 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1095 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1096 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1097
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001098 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1099 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001100
1101 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1102 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1103 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1104 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1105 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1106 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001107
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001108 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1109 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1110 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1111 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1112
1113 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1114
1115 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1116 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1117 still use the individual files if you need something more
1118 exotic.
1119
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001120- Watchdog:
1121 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1122 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001123 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1124 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1125 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1126 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1127 available, then no further board specific code should
1128 be needed to use it.
1129
1130 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1131 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1132 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1133 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001134
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001135- U-Boot Version:
1136 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1137 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1138 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1139 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e512012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001140 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1141 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001142
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001143- Real-Time Clock:
1144
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001145 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001146 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1147 following options:
1148
1149 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1150 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001151 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001152 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1cb8e982003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk7f70e852003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001155 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel412921d2014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001156 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenk3bac3512003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001157 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krill9536dfc2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001158 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenk4c0d4c32004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001159 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001160 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001161 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1162 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001163
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001164 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1165 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1166
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001167- GPIO Support:
1168 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001169
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001170 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1171 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1172 pins supported by a particular chip.
1173
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001174 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1175 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1176
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001177- I/O tracing:
1178 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1179 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1180 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1181 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1182 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1183 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1184 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1185 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1186
1187 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1188 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1189 still continue to operate.
1190
1191 iotrace is enabled
1192 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1193 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1194 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1195 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1196 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1197 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1198
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001199- Timestamp Support:
1200
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001201 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1202 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1203 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001204 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001205
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001206- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1207 Zero or more of the following:
1208 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1209 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1210 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1211 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1212 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1213 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1214 disk/part_efi.c
1215 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001216
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001217 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1218 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001219 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001220
1221- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001222 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1223 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001224
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001225 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1226 be performed by calling the function
1227 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1228 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001229
1230- ATAPI Support:
1231 CONFIG_ATAPI
1232
1233 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1234
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001235- LBA48 Support
1236 CONFIG_LBA48
1237
1238 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher4b142fe2009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001239 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001240 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1241 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1242
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001243 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001244 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1245 Default is 32bit.
1246
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001247- SCSI Support:
1248 At the moment only there is only support for the
1249 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1250 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1251
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1253 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1254 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001255 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1256 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001257 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001258
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001259 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1260 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
Stefan Reinauer447c0312012-10-29 05:23:48 +00001261
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001262- NETWORK Support (PCI):

Kyle Moffettce5207e2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001264 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1265
1266 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1267 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1268 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1269 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1270
1271 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1272 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1273 example with the "sspi" command.
1274
1275 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1276 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1277 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001278
Andre Schwarzac3315c2008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001279 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC

Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001587 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1588 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1589 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1590 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1591 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1592
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001593 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1594 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1595 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1596 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1597 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1598 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1599
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001600 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1601 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1602 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1603 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1604
1605 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1606 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1607 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1608 sending again an USB request to the device.

Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001731 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1732 support, and should also define these other macros:

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001758 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1759 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001815 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1816
1817 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1818 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1819 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1820 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1821 a per-section basis.
1822
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001823 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1824
1825 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1826 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1827 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1828 is slow.

1837 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1838
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001839- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001840
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001841 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1842 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1843 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001844 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001845 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1846 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1847 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1848 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001849
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001850 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1851
1852 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1853 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001854 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001855 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1856 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1857 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1858 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1859 there is no need to set this option.
1860
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001861 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1862
1863 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1864 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1865 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1866 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1867 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1868 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1869
1870 Example:
1871 setenv splashpos m,m
1872 => image at center of screen
1873
1874 setenv splashpos 30,20
1875 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1876
1877 setenv splashpos -10,m
1878 => vertically centered image
1879 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1880
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001881- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1882
1883 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1884 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1885 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1886
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001887- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1888
1889 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1890 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1891 bmp command.
1892
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001893- Do compresssing for memory range:
1894 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1895
1896 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1897 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1898
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001899- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001900 CONFIG_GZIP
1901
1902 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1903
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001904 CONFIG_BZIP2
1905
1906 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1907 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1908 compressed images are supported.
1909
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001910 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001911 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001912 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001913
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001914 CONFIG_LZMA
1915
1916 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1917 images is included.
1918
1919 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1920 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1921 formula:
1922
1923 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1924
1925 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1926 and Literal pos bits.
1927
1928 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1929 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1930 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1931 a very small buffer.
1932
1933 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1934 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001935 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001936
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001937 CONFIG_LZO
1938
1939 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1940 is included.
1941

1948
1949 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1950
1951 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1952
1953 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001954 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001955
1956 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1957
1958 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1959 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1960 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1961 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1962
1963 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1964
1965 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after

David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002017- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2018 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2019
2020 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2021 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002022 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002023 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2024 multicast group.
2025
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002026- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2027 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2028
2029 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2030 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2031 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2032 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2033 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2034 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2035 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2036 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002037 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002038
2039 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2040 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2041 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2042 4th and following
2043 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2044
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002045 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2046
2047 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2048 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2049 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2050 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2051 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2052 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2053 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2054 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2055 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2056 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2057 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2058 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2059 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2060 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2061 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002081 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2082 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002083
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002084 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2085 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2086 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2087 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2088 is not available.
2089
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002090 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2091 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2092 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2093 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2094 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2095 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2096 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002097 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002098
2099 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2100 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2101 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002102 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002103 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2104 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002106 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2107
2108 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2109 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2110 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2111 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2112 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2113 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2114 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2115 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2116 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2117 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2118 this delay.
2119
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002120 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2121 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2122 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2123 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2124 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002170- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2171
2172 Several configurations allow to display the current
2173 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2174 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2175 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2176 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2177 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2178 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2179 feature in U-Boot.
2180
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002181 Additional options:
2182
2183 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2184 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2185 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2186 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2187 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2188
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002189 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2190 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2191 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2192 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2193 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2194 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2195
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002196- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2199 on those systems that support this (optional)
2200 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002330 additional defines:
2331
2332 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2333 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2334 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2335 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2336 omit this define.
2337
2338 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2339 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2340 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2341 omit this define.
2342
2343 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2344 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2345 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2346 define.
2347
2348 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2349 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2350 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2351 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2352 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2353
2354 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2355 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \

2357 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2358 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2359 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002378- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002379
2380 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2381 provides the following compelling advantages:
2382
2383 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2384 - approved multibus support
2385 - better i2c mux support
2386
2387 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2388
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002389 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2390 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2391 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002392
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002393 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002394 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002395 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2396 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002397 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002398
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002399 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002400
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002401 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002402 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002403
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002404 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002405 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002406 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002407 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002408
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002409 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002410 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002411 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2412 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2413 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002414
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002415 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2416
2417 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2418 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2419 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2420 commands until the slave device responds.
2421
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002422 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002423
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002424 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002425 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2426 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002427
2428 I2C_INIT
2429
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002430 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002431 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002432
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002433 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002434
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002435 I2C_PORT
2436
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002437 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2438 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2439 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002440
2441 I2C_ACTIVE
2442
2443 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2444 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2445 define can be null.
2446
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002447 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2448
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002449 I2C_TRISTATE
2450
2451 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2452 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2453 define can be null.
2454
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002455 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2456
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002457 I2C_READ
2458
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002459 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2460 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002461
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002462 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2463
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002464 I2C_SDA(bit)
2465
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002466 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2467 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002468
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002469 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002470 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002473 I2C_SCL(bit)
2474
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002475 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2476 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002477
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002478 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002479 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002482 I2C_DELAY
2483
2484 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2485 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002486 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002487 like:
2488
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002489 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002490
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002491 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2492
2493 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2494 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2495 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2496 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2497
2498 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2499 the generic GPIO functions.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002501 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002502
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002503 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2504 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2505 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2506 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2507 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2508 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2509 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2510 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002511
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002512 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2513
2514 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2515 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2516 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2517 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2518 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2519 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2520 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2521 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2522
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002523 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2524
2525 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2526 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2527 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2528
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002529 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2530
2531 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002532 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2533 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002534 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2535
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002536 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002537
2538 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002539 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002540 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2541 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002542
2543 e.g.
2544 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002545 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002546
2547 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2548
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002549 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002550 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002551
2552 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002554 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002555
2556 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2557 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2558
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002559 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002560
2561 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2562 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2563
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002564 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002565
2566 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2567 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2568
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002569 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002570
2571 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2572 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2573 specified DTT device.
2574
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002575 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2576
2577 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2578 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2579 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2580 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2581 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2582 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2583 the other.

2600
2601 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2602
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002603 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2604 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2605 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2606 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2607 defined, the board configuration must define several
2608 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2609 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2702- Configuration Management:
2703 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2704
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002705 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2706 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002707
2708- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2709
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002710 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2711 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002712 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002713 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2714 protects these variables from casual modification by
2715 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2716 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002717 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002718
2719 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2720 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002721 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002722 these parameters.
2723
2724 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2725 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002726 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002727 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2728 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2729 read-only.]
2730
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002731 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2732 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2733 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2734 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2735
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002736- Protected RAM:
2737 CONFIG_PRAM
2738
2739 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2740 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2741 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2742 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2743 this default value by defining an environment
2744 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2745 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2746 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2747 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2748 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2749 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2750 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2751
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002752 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002753 saveenv
2754
2755 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2756 either, which results in a memory region that will
2757 not be affected by reboots.
2758
2759 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2760 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2761 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2762 following board configurations are known to be
2763 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002769- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2770 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2771 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2772 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2773 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2774 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2775 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2776
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002777- Error Recovery:
2778 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2779
2780 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2781 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2782 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002783 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002784 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2785 useful during development since you can try to debug
2786 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2787
2788 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2789
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002790 This variable defines the number of retries for
2791 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2792 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2793 default value of 5 is used.

2798
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002799 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2800
2801 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2802 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2803 try longer timeout such as
2804 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

2809 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2810
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002811 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2812 for the "hush" shell.

2814
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002815 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002816
2817 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2818 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2819 powerful command line syntax like
2820 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2821 constructs ("shell scripts").
2822
2823 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2824 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2825
2826
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002827 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002828
2829 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2830 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2831 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2832
2833 Note:
2834
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002835 In the current implementation, the local variables
2836 space and global environment variables space are
2837 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2838 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2839 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2840 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2841 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002842
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002843 Global environment variables are those you use
2844 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2845 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2846 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002847
2848 To store commands and special characters in a
2849 variable, please use double quotation marks
2850 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2851 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2852 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002861 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2862
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002863 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2864 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002865 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002866
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002867 For example, place something like this in your
2868 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002869
2870 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2871 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2872 "myvar2=value2\0"
2873
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002874 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2875 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2876 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2877 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002878 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002879 You better know what you are doing here.
2880
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002881 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2882 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002883 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002884 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002886 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2887
2888 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2889 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2890 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2891
2892 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2893
2894 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2895 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2896 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2897 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR

2901
2902 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2903 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2904 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2905
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002906 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2907
2908 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2909 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2910 that so that the environment is not available until
2911 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2912 this is instead controlled by the value of
2913 /config/load-environment.

2917
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002918 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2919 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard

2923 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2924
2925 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2926 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2927
2928 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2929 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2930 commands.
2931
2932 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2933 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2934 flash is present on the system.
2935
2936 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier

2948 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2949 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2950
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302951 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2952
2953 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2954 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2955 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2956
Heiko Schocher562f8df2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02002957 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2958 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2959 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2960 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2961 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2962 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2963 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2964 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2965 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2966 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2967
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002968- SystemACE Support:
2969 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2970
2971 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2972 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002973 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002974 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002975
2976 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002977 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002978
2979 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2980 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2981
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002982- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2983 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2984
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002985 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002986 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002987 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002988 number generator is used.
2989
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002990 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2991 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2992 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2993
2994 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002995 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2996 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2997 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2998 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2999 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3000 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3001
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003002- Hashing support:
3003 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3004
3005 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3006 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3007
3008 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3009
3010 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3011 size a little.
3012
3013 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3014 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3015
3016 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3017 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3018
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003019- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3020 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3021 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3022 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3023
3024 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3025 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3026 a boot from specific media.
3027
3028 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3029 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3030 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3031 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3032 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3033
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003034- Signing support:
3035 CONFIG_RSA
3036
3037 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003038 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003039
3040 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3041 option.
3042
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003043- bootcount support:
3044 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3045
3046 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3047 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3048
3049 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3050 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3051 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3052 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3053 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3054 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3055 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3056 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3057 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3058 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3059 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3060 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3061 the bootcounter.
3062 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003064- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003065 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3066
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003067 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3068 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3069 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3070 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3071 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3072 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003073
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003074- Detailed boot stage timing
3075 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3076 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3077 of the boot process.
3078
3079 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3080 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3081 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3082 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3083 the limit, recording will stop.
3084
3085 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3086 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3087
3088 Timer summary in microseconds:
3089 Mark Elapsed Stage
3090 0 0 reset
3091 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3092 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3093 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done

3095 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3096 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3097 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3098
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003099 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3100 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3101 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3102
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003103 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3104 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3105 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3106 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3107 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3108 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3109 For example:
3110
3111 bootstage {
3112 154 {
3113 name = "board_init_f";
3114 mark = <3575678>;
3115 };
3116 170 {
3117 name = "lcd";
3118 accum = <33482>;
3119 };
3120 };
3121
3122 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3317 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3318
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003319 This option defines a board specific value for the
3320 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3321 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3329 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3330 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3331 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3332 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3333 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3334 configured panel size.

Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003360- UBI support
3361 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3362
3363 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3364 with the UBI flash translation layer
3365
3366 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3367
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003368 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3369
3370 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3371 warnings and errors enabled.
3372
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003373
3374 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3375 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3376 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3377 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3378 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3379 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3380
3381 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3382 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3383 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3384 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3385 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3386
3387 default: 4096
3388
3389 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3390 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3391 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3392 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3393 flash), this value is ignored.
3394
3395 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3396 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3397 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3398 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3399 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3400 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3401
3402 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3403 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3404 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3405 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3406 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3407 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3408 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3409 partition.
3410
3411 default: 20
3412
3413 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3414 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3415 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3416 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3417 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3418 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3419 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3420 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3421 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3422 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3423 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3424 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3425
3426 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3427 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3428 without a fastmap.
3429 default: 0
3430
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003431- UBIFS support
3432 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3433
3434 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3435 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3436
3437 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3438
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003439 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3644
Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003645 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
Benoît Thébaudeau6113d3f2013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003646 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3647 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3648 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3649 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3650 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003651
Scott Woodca2fca22012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003652 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3653 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3654 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3655 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3656
Simon Glass87ebee32013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003657 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3658 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3659 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3660 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3661 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3662
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08003663- TPL framework

3666
3667 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3668 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3669 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02003670 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3671 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3672 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003674Modem Support:
3675--------------
3676
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003677[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003678
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003679- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003680 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3681
3682- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3683 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3684
3685- Modem debug support:
3686 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3687
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003688 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3689 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003690
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003691- Interrupt support (PPC):
3692
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003693 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3694 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003695 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003696 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003697 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003698 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003699 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003700 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3701 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3702 general timer_interrupt().
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003703
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003704- General:
3705
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003706 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3707 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3708 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003709 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003710 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3711 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3712 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003713
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003714 If there are no modem init strings in the
3715 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3716 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003717 suppressed, though.

3722------------------------------
3723
3724During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3725to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3726before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3727following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3728architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3729typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3730
3731- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003768 If the board specific function
3769 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3770 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003771 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3772
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003773- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003774 Enable the call to overwrite_console().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003777 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3778
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003779- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003780 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3781 simple memory test.
3782
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003783- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003784 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003785
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003786- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003787 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3788 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3789
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003790- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3791 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003792 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003793 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003794 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3795 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3796 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003797 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003798 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003799 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003800
3801 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3802 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3803 be touched.
3804
3805 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3806 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3807 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3808 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3809 problems.
3810
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003811- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003818 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3819 Cogent motherboard)
3820
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003821- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003822 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3823
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003824- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003825 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3826 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk14d0a022010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003827 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003828 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003829
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003830- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003831 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3832 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3833 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3834 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003835
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003836- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003837 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3838
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003839- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3840 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3841 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3842 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3843 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3844 space.
3845
3846 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3847 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3848 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3849 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3850 U-Boot relocates itself.
3851
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003852 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003853 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3854
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003855- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003856 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3857 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003858 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003859 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3860
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003861- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003862 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3863 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3865 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003866 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003867 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003868 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003869 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3870 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3871 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003872
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003873- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3874 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3875 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3876 is enabled.
3877
3878- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3879 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3880 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003904- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003905 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3906 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3907
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003908- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003909
3910 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3911 without this option such a download has to be
3912 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3913 copy from RAM to flash.
3914
3915 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3916 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003917 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3918 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003919 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3920
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003921- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003922 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003923 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3924

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003929- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3930 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3931 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3932 to the MTD layer.
3933
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003934- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

3940
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003941- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003942 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3943 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3944 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3945 optionally available.
3946
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003947- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3948 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3949 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3950 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3951
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003952- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3953 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3954 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3955 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3956 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3957 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3958 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3959 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3960
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003961- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003962 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3963 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003964 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3965 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003966 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003967 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3968
Wolfgang Denkea882ba2010-06-20 23:33:59 +02003969- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES

3972 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3973 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3974 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3975 lib/hashtable.c for details.

Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003979 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003980 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3981 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3982 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3983
3984 The format of the list is:
3985 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003986 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]

4007 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4008
4009 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4010 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4011 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4012 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4013 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the

4018 access flags.
4019
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004020- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4021 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4022 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4023 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4024 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4025 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4026 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4027 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4028 your board please report the problem and send patches!
4029
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00004030- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4031 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4032 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4033 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004035The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4036of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4037following configurations:
4038
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004039- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4040
4041 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4042 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4043
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004044- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004045
4046 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4047
4048 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4049 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4050 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4051 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4052 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4053 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4054 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4055 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4056 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4057 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4058 between U-Boot and the environment.
4059
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004060 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004061
4062 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4063 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4064 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4065 for this sector is given here.
4066
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004067 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004068
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004069 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004070
4071 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4072 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004073 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004074
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004075 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004076
4077 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4078
4079
4080 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4081 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4082 the environment.
4083
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004084 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004085
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004086 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004087 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004088 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4089 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4090
4091 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4092 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4093 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4094 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4095 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4096 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4097 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4098 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4099 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4100
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004101 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4102 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004103
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004104 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004105 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004106 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004107 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004108
4109BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4110source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4111accordingly!
4112
4113
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004114- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004115
4116 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4117 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4118 environment.
4119
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004120 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4121 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004122
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004123 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004124 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4125 can just be read and written to, without any special
4126 provision.
4127
4128BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4129in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004130console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004131U-Boot will hang.
4132
4133Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4134environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4135keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4136to save the current settings.
4137
4138
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004139- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004140
4141 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4142 device and a driver for it.
4143
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004144 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4145 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004146
4147 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4148 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4149
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004150 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004151 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4152 The default address is zero.
4153
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004154 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004155 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4156 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4157 would require six bits.
4158
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004159 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004160 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004161 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004162
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004163 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004164 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4165 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4166
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004167 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004168 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4169 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4170 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4171 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4172 byte chips.
4173
4174 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4175 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4176 in the chip address.
4177
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004178 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:

4180
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004181 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4182 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4183 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4184
4185 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4186 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4187 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4188 EEPROM. For example:
4189
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004190 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004191

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004283 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4284
4285 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4286 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4287 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4288 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4289 the range to be avoided.
4290
4291 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4292
4293 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4294 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4295 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4296 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004299- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4300
4301 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4302 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4303 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4304
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004305- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4306
4307 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4308 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4309 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4310
4311 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4312
4313 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4314
4315 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4316
4317 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the

Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004320 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4321
4322 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4323 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4324 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4325
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004326 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4327 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4328
4329 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4330 when storing the env in UBI.
4331
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004332- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4333 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4334
4335 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4336
4337 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4338
4339 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4340
4341 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4342 be as following:
4343
4344 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4345 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4346 partition table.
4347 - "D:0": device D.
4348 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4349 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4350 table.
4351 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4352 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4353 partition table then means device D.
4354
4355 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4356
4357 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4358 envrionment.
4359
4360 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4361 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4362
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004363- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4364
4365 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4366 environment.
4367
4368 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4369
4370 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4371
4372 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4373
4374 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4375 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4376 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4377
4378 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4379 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4380
4381 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4382 area within the specified MMC device.
4383
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004384 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4385 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4386 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4387 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4388 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4389 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4390 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4391
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004392 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4393 MMC sector boundary.
4394
4395 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4396
4397 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4398 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4399 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4400 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4401
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004402 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4403 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4404
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004405 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4406 an MMC sector boundary.
4407
4408 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4409
4410 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4411 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4412 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4413
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004414- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004415
4416 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4417 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4418 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4419 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4420 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4421 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4422 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4423
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004424Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004425has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004426created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004427until then to read environment variables.
4428
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004429The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4430is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4431with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4432necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4433"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4434have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004435
4436Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4437the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004438use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004444 also needs to be defined.
4445
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004446- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004449- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4450 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4451 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4452 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4453 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4454 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4455
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004456- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4457 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4458 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4459 to do this.
4460
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004461- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4462 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4463 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4464 present.
4465
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004466- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:

4485 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4486 PowerPC SOCs.
4487
4488- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4489 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4490 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4491
4492 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4493 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4494
4495- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4496 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4497 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004498 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004499 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4500 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4501 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4502
4503 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4504 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4505
4506- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004507 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4508 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004509 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4510 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4511
4512- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4513 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4514 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4515 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4516
4517- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4518 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4519 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004541 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004542 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4543 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4544 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4545 initializations.

4548 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4549 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4550 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4551 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4552 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4553 is requierd.

Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004797- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4798 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4799 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4800 It is loaded by the SPL.
4801
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004802- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4803 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4804 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4805 previous 4k of the .text section.
4806
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004807- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4808 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4809 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4810 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4811 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4812 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4813 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4814 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4815
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004816- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4817 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4818 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4819 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4820 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4821
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004822- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4823 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4824 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004826- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4827 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4828
4829 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004830
Heiko Schocher16678eb2013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004831- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004839Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4840-----------------------------------
4841
4842The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4843loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4844This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4845are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4846within that device.
4847
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004848- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4849 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4850 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4851 is also specified.
4852
4853- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4854 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004855 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4856 is also specified.
4857
4858- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4859 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4860 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4861 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4862 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4863
4864- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4865 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4866 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4867 virtual address in NOR flash.
4868
4869- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4870 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4871 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4872
4873- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4874 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4875 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4876
4877- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4878 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4879 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4880
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004881- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4882 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4883 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004884 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4885 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4886 master's memory space.

J. German Riverab940ca62014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004888Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4889---------------------------------------------------------
4890The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4891"firmware".
4892This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4893are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4894within that device.
4895
4896- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4897 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4898
4899- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4900 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4901 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4902 is also specified.
4903
4904- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4905 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4906 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4907 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4908 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4909
4910- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4911 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4912 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4913 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004915Building the Software:
4916======================
4917
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004918Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4919and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4920all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4921(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4922recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4923which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004924
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004925If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4926have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4927you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4928Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4929necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004930
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004931 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4932 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004933
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004934Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4935 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4936 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4937 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4938
4939 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4940
4941 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4942 be executed on computers running Windows.
4943
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004944U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4945sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004946is done by typing:
4947
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004948 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004949
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004950where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004951rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004952
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004953Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4954 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4955 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4956 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004957 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004958
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004959 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004960 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004961
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004962 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004964
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004965 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004966
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004967
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004968Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4969images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004970
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004971- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4972- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4973- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004974
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004975By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4976in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4977this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4978
49791. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4980
4981 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004982 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004983 make O=/tmp/build all
4984
49852. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4986
4987 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4988 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004989 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004990 make all
4991
4992Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4993variable.
4994
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004995
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004996Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4997for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4998native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004999
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005000
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005001If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5002to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5003steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005004
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050051. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005006 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5007 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050082. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5009 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5010 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
50113. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5012 your board
50133. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5014 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050154. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050165. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5017 to be installed on your target system.
50186. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5019 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5023==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005024
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005025If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5026or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005027provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5028the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005029official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005030
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005031But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5032cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005033the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5034just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005035for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5036select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5037environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5038you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005039
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005040 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005041
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005042or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005043
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005044 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005045
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005046When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5047U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5048setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5049built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5050<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5051location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5052variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005053
5054 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5055 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5056 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5057
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005058With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5059log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5060during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005123Environment Variables:
5124======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005125
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005126U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5127can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5130"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5131without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5132environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5133working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5134environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005136Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5137
5138List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005139
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005140 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005141
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005142 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005145
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005146 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005147
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005149
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005150 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5151 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5152 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5153 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5154 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5155 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005156 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5157 bootm_mapsize.
5158
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005159 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005160 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5161 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5162 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5163 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5164 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5165 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005166
5167 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5168 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5169 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5170 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5171 environment variable.
5172
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005173 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5174 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5175 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5176
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005177 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5178 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5179 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5180 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005181
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005182 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5183 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5184 be automatically started (by internally calling
5185 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005186
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005187 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5188 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5189 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5190 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5191 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005192
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005193 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5194 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005195 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5196 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5197 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5198 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5199 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5200 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5201 access it during the boot procedure.
5202
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005203 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5204 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5205 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5206 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5207 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5208 must be accessible by the kernel.
5209
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005210 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5211 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5212 defined.
5213
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005214 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5215 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5216 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5217 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5218 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5219
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005220 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5221 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5222 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5223 is usually what you want since it allows for
5224 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5225 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005226 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005227 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5228 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5229 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5230 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005231
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005232 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5233 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5234 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5235 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5236 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5237 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005238
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005239 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005240
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005241 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5242 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5243 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5244 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5245 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5246 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5247 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005248
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005249 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005261
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005262 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005263
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005264 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005265
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005266 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5267 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005268
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005269 => setenv ethact FEC
5270 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5271 => setenv ethact SCC
5272 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005273
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005274 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5275 available network interfaces.
5276 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5277
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005278 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005279 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5280 When set to "once" the network operation will
5281 fail when all the available network interfaces
5282 are tried once without success.
5283 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5284 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005285
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005286 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005287
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005288 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5289 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5290 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5291 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5292 is silent.
5293
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005294 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005295 UDP source port.
5296
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005297 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5298 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5299
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005300 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5301 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5302
5303 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5304 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5305 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5306 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5307 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5308 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5309 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5310
5311 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005312 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005313 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005314
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005315The following image location variables contain the location of images
5316used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5317not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5318variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5319server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5320loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5321flash or offset in NAND flash.
5322
5323*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5324boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5325boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005334The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5335updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5336depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005337
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338 bootfile - see above
5339 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5340 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5341 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5342 hostname - Target hostname
5343 ipaddr - see above
5344 netmask - Subnet Mask
5345 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5346 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005347
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005348
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005349There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005350
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005351 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5352 as type string and/or serial number
5353 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005354
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005355These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5356the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5357once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005358
5359
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005360Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005361
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005362 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5363 with the "version" command. This variable is
5364 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005365

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005371Callback functions for environment variables:
5372---------------------------------------------
5373
5374For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5375when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5376be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5377deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5378effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5379
5380The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5381U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5382
5383These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5384static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5385in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5386associations. The list must be in the following format:
5387
5388 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5389 list = entry[,list]
5390
5391If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5392Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5393
5394Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5395with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5396override any association in the static list. You can define
5397CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5398".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005404There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5405the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005407Old, simple command line parser:
5408--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005409
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005410- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5411- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005412- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005413- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5414 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005415 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005416- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5417 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005418
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005419Hush shell:
5420-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005421
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005422- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5423 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5424 until...do...done, ...
5425- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5426 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5427 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5428 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005429
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005430General rules:
5431--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005432
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005433(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5434 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5435 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5436 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005437
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005438(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005439 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005440 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5441 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005443Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5444=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005445
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005446Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005447such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5448"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005449
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005450Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5451MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5452"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005453
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005454If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5455in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5456ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5457variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005458
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005459o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5460 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005461
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005462o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5463 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5464 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005465
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005466o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5467 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005468
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005469o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5470 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5471 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005472
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005473o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5474 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005475
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005476If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005477will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005478may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5479The naming convention is as follows:
5480"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005481
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005482Image Formats:
5483==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005484
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005485U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5486images in two formats:
5487
5488New uImage format (FIT)
5489-----------------------
5490
5491Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5492to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5493components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5494SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5495
5496
5497Old uImage format
5498-----------------
5499
5500Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5501preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5502details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005503
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005504* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005518The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5519and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5520CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005521
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005522
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005523Linux Support:
5524==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005525
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005526Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5527easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5528U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005529
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005530U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5531special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5532"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5533instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5534serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005535
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005536- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5537 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5538 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005539
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5541 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005542
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005543- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5544 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5545 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5546 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5547 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5548 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005549

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005551Linux HOWTO:
5552============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005553
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5555---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005556
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005557U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5558configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5559(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5560Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005561
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005562But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005563
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005564Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5565include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005566Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5567and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005568as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005569
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005570Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5571If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5572is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5573doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005575
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005576Configuring the Linux kernel:
5577-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005578
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005579No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5580device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005581
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005582
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005583Building a Linux Image:
5584-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005585
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005586With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5587not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5588"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5589U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5590which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5591100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005592
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005593Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005594
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005595 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005596 make oldconfig
5597 make dep
5598 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005599
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005600The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5601encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5602CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005603
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005604* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005605
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005606* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005607
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5609 -R .note -R .comment \
5610 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005611
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005612* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005613
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005614 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005615
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005616* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005617
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005618 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5619 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5620 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005621
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005622
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005623The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5624with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5625combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5626byte header containing information about target architecture,
5627operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5628stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005629
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005630"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5631print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005632
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5634contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5635checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005636
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005637 tools/mkimage -l image
5638 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005639
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5641from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005642
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5644 -n name -d data_file image
5645 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5646 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5647 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5648 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5649 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5650 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5651 -n ==> set image name to 'name'

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005653
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005654Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5655address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5656kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005657
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005658- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5659- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005660
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005661So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005662
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005663 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \

5685speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5686needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5687need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005715The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5716option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5717option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5718from the image:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005725Installing a Linux Image:
5726-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005727
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005728To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5729you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005730
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005731 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005732
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005733The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5734image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5735address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5736specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5737command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005738
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005739Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005905More About U-Boot Image Types:
5906------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005907
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005908U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005909
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005910 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5911 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5912 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5913 the Standalone Program.
5914 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5915 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5916 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5917 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5918 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5919 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5920 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5921 being started.
5922 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5923 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5924 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5925 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5926 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5927 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005928
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005929 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5930 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5931 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5932 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005936 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5937 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5938 flash memory.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005940 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5941 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5942 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5943 as command interpreter.

5946-------------------------
5947
5948On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5949using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5950as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5951
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005952Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005953kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5954address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5955format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005961One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5962run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5963U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005964
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005965Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005970'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5971application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5972It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5973like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005999Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6000handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6001Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6002The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6003character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6004controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006070Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6071(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006072
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006073Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6074NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6075need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6076Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6077attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6078missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006079
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006080 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6081 # mkdir powerpc
6082 # ln -s powerpc machine
6083 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6084 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006085
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006086Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6087and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006088
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006089Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6090stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6091proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6092tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6097=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006099The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6100implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6101inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6102hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006105Initial Stack, Global Data:
6106---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006107
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006108The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6109starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6110system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6111This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6112is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6113at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6114options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6115models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6116MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6117locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006118
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006119 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006127 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6128 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6129 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6130 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6131 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006132 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006133 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6134 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006135
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006136 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6137 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006138 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006139 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6140 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6141 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6142 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006143
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006144 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006145 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6146 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006147 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006148 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6149 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6150 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6151 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6152 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006157It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6158code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006159
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006160* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6161 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006162
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006163* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006164 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6165 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006166
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006167* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6168 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006169
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006170Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6171normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6172turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6173simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6174functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6175functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6176the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6177place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6178reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006179
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006180When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6181relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6182GCC's implementation.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006184For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6185 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006186 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006187 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6188 R5-R10: parameter passing
6189 R13: small data area pointer
6190 R30: GOT pointer
6191 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006193 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6194 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6195 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006196
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006197 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006198
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006199 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6200 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6201 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6202 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6203 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6204 624 text + 127 data).

6229
6230 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6231
6232 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6233 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

6248
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02006249NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6250or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006252Memory Management:
6253------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006254
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006255U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6256MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006257
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006258The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6259controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6260memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6261physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006262
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006263U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6264TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6265booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6266to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006267memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006268configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6269Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006270
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6272of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006273
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006274So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6275this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006276
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006277 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6278 :
6279 0x0000 1FFF
6280 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6281 :
6282 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006283
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006284 :
6285 :
6286 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6287 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6288 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6289 :
6290 0x00FD FFFF
6291 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6292 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6293 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6294 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006295
6296
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006297System Initialization:
6298----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006299
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006300In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006301(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006302configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6303To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6304To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6305initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6306which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6307part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6308the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006309
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006310Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6311preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6312(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6313on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6314programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6315simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6316banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006317
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006318When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6319different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6320bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63210x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6322contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006323
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006324Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6325and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6326Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6327pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006328
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006329Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6330until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6331running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6332new address in RAM.

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006416Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6417MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6418reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6419sources.
6420
6421Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6422Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6423in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006424
6425Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6426- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006427- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006428- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006429- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006430- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6431
6432Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006450
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006451* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6452 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6453 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006454
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006455* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6456 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006457
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006458* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6459
6460* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6461
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006462* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6463 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006464
6465* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6466 document these in the README file.
6467
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006468* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6469 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006470 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006471 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6472 with some other mail clients.

6499* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6500 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6501 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.

6503* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6504 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6505 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6506 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6507 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6508 modification.

6513 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
