For instance, all monitor commands are 40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 43load and run it dynamically. 44 45 46Status: 47======= 48 49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 52 53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board 55maintainers. 56 57Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; 58it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: 59 60 make CHANGELOG 61 62 63Where to get help: 64================== 65 66In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 67U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 68<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 137names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 138Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 139releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 140 141Examples: 142 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 143 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 144 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 145 146 147Directory Hierarchy: 148==================== 149 150/arch Architecture specific files 151 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 154 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 155 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 156 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 157 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 158 /arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 159 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 160 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 161 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 162 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 163 /s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 164 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 165 /lib Architecture specific library files 166 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 167 /cpu CPU specific files 168 /lib Architecture specific library files 169 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 170 /cpu CPU specific files 171 /lib Architecture specific library files 172 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 173 /cpu CPU specific files 174 /lib Architecture specific library files 175 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 176 /cpu CPU specific files 177 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 178 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 179 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 180 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 181 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 182 /lib Architecture specific library files 183 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 184 /cpu CPU specific files 185 /lib Architecture specific library files 186 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 187 /cpu CPU specific files 188 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 189 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 194 /lib Architecture specific library files 195 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 196 /cpu CPU specific files 197 /lib Architecture specific library files 198 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 199 /cpu CPU specific files 200 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 201 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 202 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 203 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 204 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 205 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 206 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 207 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 208 /lib Architecture specific library files 209 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 210 /cpu CPU specific files 211 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 212 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 213 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 214 /lib Architecture specific library files 215 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 216 /cpu CPU specific files 217 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 218 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 219 /lib Architecture specific library files 220/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 221/board Board dependent files 222/common Misc architecture independent functions 223/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 224/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 225/drivers Commonly used device drivers 226/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 227/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 228/include Header Files 229/lib Files generic to all architectures 230 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 231 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 232 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 233/net Networking code 234/post Power On Self Test 235/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 236/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 237 238Software Configuration: 239======================= 240 241Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 242rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 243 244There are two classes of configuration variables: 245 246* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 247 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 248 "CONFIG_". 249 250* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 251 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 252 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 253 "CONFIG_SYS_". 254 255Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 256identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 257do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 258links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 259as an example here. 260 261 262Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 263--------------------------------------------------- 264 265For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 266configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 267 268Example: For a TQM823L module type: 269 270 cd u-boot 271 make TQM823L_config 272 273For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 274e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 275directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 276 277 278Configuration 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 289Many 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 294The following options need to be configured: 295 296- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 297 298- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 299 300- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 301 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 302 303- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 304 Define exactly one of 305 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 306--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 307 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 308 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 309 310- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 311 Define exactly one of 312 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 313 314- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 315 Define one or more of 316 CONFIG_CMA302 317 318- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 319 Define one or more of 320 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 321 the LCD display every second with 322 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 323 324- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 325 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 326 Possible values are: 327 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 328 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 329 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 330 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 331 332- Marvell Family Member 333 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 334 multiple fs option at one time 335 for marvell soc family 336 337- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 338 Define exactly one of 339 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 340 341- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 342 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 343 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 344 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 345 reference PIT/RTC clock 346 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 347 or XTAL/EXTAL) 348 349- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 350 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 351 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 352 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 353 See doc/README.MPC866 354 355 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 356 357 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 358 of relying on the correctness of the configured 359 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 360 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 361 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 362 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 363 364 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 365 366 Define this option if you want to enable the 367 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 368 369- 85xx CPU Options: 370 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 371 372 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 373 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 374 compliance, among other possible reasons. 375 376 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 377 378 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 379 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 380 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 381 382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 383 384 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 385 tree nodes for the given platform. 386 387 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 388 389 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 390 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 391 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 392 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 393 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 394 purpose. 395 396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 397 398 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 399 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 400 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 401 402 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 404 405 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 406 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 407 408 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 409 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 410 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 411 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 412 413 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 414 this erratum. 415 416 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 417 418 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 419 according to the A004510 workaround. 420 421- Generic CPU options: 422 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 423 424 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 425 values is arch specific. 426 427- Intel Monahans options: 428 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 429 430 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 431 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 432 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 433 434 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 435 436 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 437 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 438 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 439 by this value. 440 441- MIPS CPU options: 442 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 443 444 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 445 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 446 relocation. 447 448 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 449 450 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 451 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 452 Possible values are: 453 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 454 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 455 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 456 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 457 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 458 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 459 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 460 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 461 462 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 463 464 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 465 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 466 467 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 468 469 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 470 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 471 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 472 473- ARM options: 474 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 475 476 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 477 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 478 479 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 480 481 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 482 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 483 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 484 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 485 GCC. 486 487 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 488 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 489 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 490 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 491 492 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 493 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 494 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 495 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 496 set these options unless they apply! 497 498- CPU timer options: 499 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 500 501 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 502 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 503 option must be set to 1000. 504 505- Linux Kernel Interface: 506 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 507 508 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 509 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 510 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 511 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 512 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 513 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 514 Linux kernel. 515 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 516 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 517 default environment. 518 519 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 520 521 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 522 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 523 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 524 525 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 526 527 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 528 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 529 concepts). 530 531 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 532 * New libfdt-based support 533 * Adds the "fdt" command 534 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 535 536 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 537 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 538 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 539 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 540 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 541 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 542 543 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 544 addresses 545 546 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 547 548 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 549 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 550 551 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 552 553 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 554 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 555 556 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 557 558 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 559 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 560 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 561 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 562 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 563 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 564 565 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 566 567 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 568 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 569 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 570 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 571 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 572 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 573 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 574 575- vxWorks boot parameters: 576 577 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 578 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 579 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 580 581 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 582 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 583 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 584 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 585 586 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 587 588 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 589 590 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 591 the defaults discussed just above. 592 593- Cache Configuration: 594 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 595 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 596 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 597 598- Cache Configuration for ARM: 599 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 600 controller 601 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 602 controller register space 603 604- Serial Ports: 605 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 606 607 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 608 609 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 610 611 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 612 613 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 614 615 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 616 the clock speed of the UARTs. 617 618 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 619 620 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 621 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 622 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 623 624 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 625 626 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 627 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 628 this variable to initialize the extra register. 629 630 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 631 632 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 633 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 634 variable to flush the UART at init time. 635 636 637- Console Interface: 638 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 639 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 640 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 641 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 642 643 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 644 port routines must be defined elsewhere 645 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 646 647 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 648 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 649 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 650 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 651 (default big endian) 652 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 653 rectangle fill 654 (cf. smiLynxEM) 655 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 656 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 657 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 658 (cols=pitch) 659 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 660 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 661 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 662 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 663 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 664 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 665 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 666 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 667 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 668 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 669 (i.e. i8042_getc) 670 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 671 (requires blink timer 672 cf. i8042.c) 673 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 674 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 675 upper right corner 676 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 677 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 678 upper left corner 679 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 680 linux_logo.h for logo. 681 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 682 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 683 additional board info beside 684 the logo 685 686 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 687 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 688 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 689 690 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 691 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 692 environment 'console=serial'. 693 694 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 695 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 696 the "silent" environment variable. See 697 doc/README.silent for more information. 698 699- Console Baudrate: 700 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 701 Select one of the baudrates listed in 702 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 703 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 704 705- Console Rx buffer length 706 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 707 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 708 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 709 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 710 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 711 the SMC. 712 713- Pre-Console Buffer: 714 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 715 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 716 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 717 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 718 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 719 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 720 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 721 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 722 earlier bytes are discarded. 723 724 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 725 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 726 727- Safe printf() functions 728 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 729 the printf() functions. These are defined in 730 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 731 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 732 If this option is not given then these functions will 733 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 734 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 735 736- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 737 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 738 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 739 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 740 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 741 742 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 743 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 744 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 745 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 746 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 747 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 748 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 749 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 750 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 751 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 752 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 753 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 754 755- Autoboot Command: 756 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 757 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 758 define a command string that is automatically executed 759 when no character is read on the console interface 760 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 761 762 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 763 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 764 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 765 environment value "bootargs". 766 767 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 768 The value of these goes into the environment as 769 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 770 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 771 RAM and NFS. 772 773- Pre-Boot Commands: 774 CONFIG_PREBOOT 775 776 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 777 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 778 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 779 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 780 entering interactive mode. 781 782 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 783 automatically generated or modified. For an example 784 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 785 modified when the user holds down a certain 786 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 787 booting the systems 788 789- Serial Download Echo Mode: 790 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 791 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 792 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 793 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 794 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 795 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 796 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 797 798- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 799 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 800 Select one of the baudrates listed in 801 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 802 803- Monitor Functions: 804 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 805 from the build by using the #include files 806 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 807 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 808 and augmenting with additional #define's 809 for wanted commands. 810 811 The default command configuration

920 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 921 922 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 923 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 924 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 925 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 926 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 927 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 928 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 929 initial stack and some data. 930 931 932 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 933 934- Regular expression support: 935 CONFIG_REGEX 936 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 937 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 938 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 939 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 940 941- Device tree: 942 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 943 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 944 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 945 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 946 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 947 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 948 949 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 950 be done using one of the two options below: 951 952 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 953 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 954 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 955 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 956 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 957 the global data structure as gd->blob. 958 959 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 960 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 961 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 962 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 963 964 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 965 966 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 967 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 968 still use the individual files if you need something more 969 exotic. 970 971- Watchdog: 972 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 973 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 974 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 975 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 976 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 977 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 978 available, then no further board specific code should 979 be needed to use it. 980 981 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 982 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 983 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 984 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 985 986- U-Boot Version: 987 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 988 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 989 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 990 version as printed by the "version" command. 991 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 992 next reset. 993 994- Real-Time Clock: 995 996 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 997 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 998 following options: 999 1000 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1001 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1002 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1003 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1004 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1005 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1006 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1007 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1008 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1009 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1010 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1011 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1012 RV3029 RTC. 1013 1014 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1015 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1016 1017- GPIO Support: 1018 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1019 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 1020 1021 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1022 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1023 pins supported by a particular chip. 1024 1025 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1026 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1027 1028- Timestamp Support: 1029 1030 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1031 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1032 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1033 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1034 1035- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1036 Zero or more of the following: 1037 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1038 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1039 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1040 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1041 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1042 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1043 disk/part_efi.c 1044 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1045 1046 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1047 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1048 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1049 1050- IDE Reset method: 1051 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1052 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1053 1054 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1055 be performed by calling the function 1056 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1057 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1058 1059- ATAPI Support: 1060 CONFIG_ATAPI 1061 1062 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1063 1064- LBA48 Support 1065 CONFIG_LBA48 1066 1067 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1068 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1069 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1070 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1071 1072 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1073 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1074 Default is 32bit. 1075 1076- SCSI Support: 1077 At the moment only there is only support for the 1078 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1079 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1080 1081 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1082 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1083 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1084 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1085 devices. 1086 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1087 1088 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1089 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1090 1091- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1092 CONFIG_E1000 1093 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1094 1095 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1096 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1097 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1098 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1099 1100 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1101 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1102 example with the "sspi" command. 1103 1104 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1105 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1106 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1107 1108 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1109 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1110 1111 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1112 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1113 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1114 write routine for first time initialisation. 1115 1116 CONFIG_TULIP 1117 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1118 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1119 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1120 1121 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1122 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1123 1124 CONFIG_NS8382X 1125 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1126 1127- NETWORK Support (other): 1128 1129 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1130 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1131 1132 CONFIG_RMII 1133 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1134 1135 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1136 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1137 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1138 1139 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1140 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1141 1142 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1143 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1144 1145 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1146 Define this to hold the physical address 1147 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1148 1149 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1150 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1151 1152 CONFIG_SMC91111 1153 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1154 1155 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1156 Define this to hold the physical address 1157 of the device (I/O space) 1158 1159 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1160 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1161 1162 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1163 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1164 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1165 1166 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1167 Support for davinci emac 1168 1169 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1170 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1171 1172 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1173 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1174 1175 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1176 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1177 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1178 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1179 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1180 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1181 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1182 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1183 1184 CONFIG_SMC911X 1185 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1186 1187 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1188 Define this to hold the physical address 1189 of the device (I/O space) 1190 1191 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1192 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1193 1194 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1195 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1196 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1197 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1198 1199 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1200 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1201 1202 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1203 Define the number of ports to be used 1204 1205 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1206 Define the ETH PHY's address 1207 1208 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1209 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1210 1211- TPM Support: 1212 CONFIG_TPM 1213 Support TPM devices. 1214 1215 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1216 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1217 per system is supported at this time. 1218 1219 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1220 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1221 1222 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1223 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1224 1225 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1226 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1227 1228 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1229 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1230 per system is supported at this time. 1231 1232 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1233 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1234 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1235 0xfed40000. 1236 1237- USB Support: 1238 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1239 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1240 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1241 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1242 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1243 storage devices. 1244 Note: 1245 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1246 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1247 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1248 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1249 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1250 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1251 for USB on PSC3 1252 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1253 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1254 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1255 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1256 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1257 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1258 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1259 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1260 1261 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1262 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1263 1264- USB Device: 1265 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1266 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1267 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1268 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1269 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1270 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1271 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1272 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1273 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1274 a Linux host by 1275 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1276 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1277 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1278 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1279 1280 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1281 Define this to build a UDC device 1282 1283 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1284 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1285 talk to the UDC device 1286 1287 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1288 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1289 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1290 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1291 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1292 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1293 speed. 1294 1295 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1296 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1297 be set to usbtty. 1298 1299 mpc8xx: 1300 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1301 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1302 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1303 1304 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1305 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1306 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1307 1308 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1309 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1310 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1311 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1312 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1313 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1314 1315 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1316 Define this string as the name of your company for 1317 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1318 1319 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1320 Define this string as the name of your product 1321 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1322 1323 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1324 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1325 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1326 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1327 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1328 1329 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1330 Define this as the unique Product ID 1331 for your device 1332 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1333 1334- ULPI Layer Support: 1335 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1336 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1337 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1338 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1339 viewport is supported. 1340 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1341 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1342 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1343 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1344 the appropriate value in Hz. 1345 1346- MMC Support: 1347 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1348 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1349 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1350 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1351 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1352 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1353 1354 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1355 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1356 1357 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1358 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1359 1360 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1361 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1362 1363- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1364 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1365 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1366 1367 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1368 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1369 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1370 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1371 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1372 1373 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1374 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1375 1376 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1377 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1378 1379 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1380 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1381 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1382 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1383 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1384 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1385 1386- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1387 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1388 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1389 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1390 1391 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1392 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1393 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1394 1395 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1396 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1397 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1398 1399 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1400 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1401 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1402 have not defined a custom partition 1403 1404- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1405 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1406 1407 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1408 file in FAT formatted partition. 1409 1410 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1411 user to write files to FAT. 1412 1413CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1414 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1415 1416 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1417 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1418 and cbfsload. 1419 1420- Keyboard Support: 1421 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1422 1423 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1424 support 1425 1426 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1427 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1428 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1429 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1430 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1431 1432- Video support: 1433 CONFIG_VIDEO 1434 1435 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1436 video). 1437 1438 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1439 1440 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1441 1442 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1443 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1444 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1445 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1446 assumed. 1447 1448 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1449 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1450 are possible: 1451 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1452 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1453 1454 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1455 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1456 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1457 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1458 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1459 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1460 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1461 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1462 1463 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1464 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1465 1466 1467 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1468 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1469 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1470 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1471 1472 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1473 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1474 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1475 support, and should also define these other macros: 1476 1477 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1478 CONFIG_VIDEO 1479 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1480 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1481 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1482 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1483 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1484 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1485 1486 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1487 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1488 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1489 description of this variable. 1490 1491 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1492 1493 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1494 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1495 driver. 1496 1497 1498- Keyboard Support: 1499 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1500 1501 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1502 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1503 defined in your board-specific files. 1504 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1505 1506- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1507 1508 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1509 display); also select one of the supported displays 1510 by defining one of these: 1511 1512 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1513 1514 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1515 1516 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1517 1518 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1519 1520 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1521 1522 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1523 Active, color, single scan. 1524 1525 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1526 1527 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1528 Active, color, single scan. 1529 1530 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1531 1532 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1533 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1534 1535 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1536 1537 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1538 Active, color, single scan. 1539 1540 CONFIG_HLD1045 1541 1542 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1543 Active, color, single scan. 1544 1545 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1546 1547 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1548 or 1549 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1550 or 1551 Hitachi SP14Q002 1552 1553 320x240. Black & white. 1554 1555 Normally display is black on white background; define 1556 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1557 1558 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1559 1560 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1561 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1562 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1563 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1564 a per-section basis. 1565 1566 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1567 1568 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1569 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1570 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1571 is slow. 1572 1573 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1574 1575 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1576 1577 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1578 1579 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1580 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1581 1582- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1583 1584 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1585 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1586 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1587 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1588 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1589 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1590 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1591 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1592 1593 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1594 1595 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1596 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1597 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). 1598 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1599 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1600 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1601 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1602 there is no need to set this option. 1603 1604 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1605 1606 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1607 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1608 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1609 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1610 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1611 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1612 1613 Example: 1614 setenv splashpos m,m 1615 => image at center of screen 1616 1617 setenv splashpos 30,20 1618 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1619 1620 setenv splashpos -10,m 1621 => vertically centered image 1622 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1623 1624 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE 1625 1626 If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare() 1627 function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part 1628 of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an 1629 opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is 1630 processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot. 1631 1632- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1633 1634 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1635 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1636 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1637 1638- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1639 1640 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1641 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1642 bmp command. 1643 1644- Do compresssing for memory range: 1645 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1646 1647 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1648 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1649 1650- Compression support: 1651 CONFIG_BZIP2 1652 1653 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1654 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1655 compressed images are supported. 1656 1657 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1658 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1659 be at least 4MB. 1660 1661 CONFIG_LZMA 1662 1663 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1664 images is included. 1665 1666 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1667 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1668 formula: 1669 1670 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1671 1672 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1673 and Literal pos bits. 1674 1675 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1676 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1677 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1678 a very small buffer. 1679 1680 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1681 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1682 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1683 1684- MII/PHY support: 1685 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1686 1687 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1688 1689 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1690 1691 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1692 1693 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1694 1695 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1696 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1697 1698 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1699 1700 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1701 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1702 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1703 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1704 1705 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1706 1707 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1708 command issued before MII status register can be read 1709 1710- Ethernet address: 1711 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1712 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1713 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1714 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1715 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1716 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1717 1718 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1719 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1720 is not determined automatically. 1721 1722- IP address: 1723 CONFIG_IPADDR 1724 1725 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1726 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1727 determined through e.g. bootp. 1728 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1729 1730- Server IP address: 1731 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1732 1733 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1734 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1735 (Environment variable "serverip") 1736 1737 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1738 1739 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1740 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1741 1742- Gateway IP address: 1743 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1744 1745 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1746 default router where packets to other networks are 1747 sent to. 1748 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1749 1750- Subnet mask: 1751 CONFIG_NETMASK 1752 1753 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1754 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1755 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1756 forwarded through a router. 1757 (Environment variable "netmask") 1758 1759- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1760 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1761 1762 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1763 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1764 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1765 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1766 multicast group. 1767 1768- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1769 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1770 1771 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1772 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1773 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1774 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1775 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1776 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1777 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1778 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1779 following delays are inserted then: 1780 1781 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1782 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1783 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1784 4th and following 1785 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1786 1787- DHCP Advanced Options: 1788 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1789 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1790 1791 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1792 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1793 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1794 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1795 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1796 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1797 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1798 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1799 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1800 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1801 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1802 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1803 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1804 1805 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1806 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1807 1808 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1809 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1810 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1811 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1812 is not available. 1813 1814 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1815 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1816 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1817 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1818 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1819 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1820 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1821 is defined. 1822 1823 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1824 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1825 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1826 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1827 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1828 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1829 1830 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1831 1832 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1833 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1834 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1835 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1836 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1837 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1838 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1839 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1840 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1841 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1842 this delay. 1843 1844 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1845 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1846 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1847 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1848 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1849 1850 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1851 1852 - CDP Options: 1853 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1854 1855 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1856 1857 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1858 1859 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1860 of the device. 1861 1862 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1863 1864 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1865 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1866 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1867 1868 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1869 1870 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1871 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1872 1873 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1874 1875 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1876 1877 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1878 1879 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1880 1881 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1882 1883 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1884 1885 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1886 1887 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1888 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1889 1890 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1891 1892 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1893 1894- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1895 1896 Several configurations allow to display the current 1897 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1898 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1899 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1900 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1901 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1902 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1903 feature in U-Boot. 1904 1905- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1906 1907 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1908 on those systems that support this (optional) 1909 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1910 1911- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1912 1913 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1914 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1915 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1916 1917 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1918 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1919 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1920 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1921 command line interface. 1922 1923 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1924 1925 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1926 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1927 support for I2C. 1928 1929 There are several other quantities that must also be 1930 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1931 1932 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1933 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1934 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1935 the CPU's i2c node address). 1936 1937 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1938 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1939 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1940 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1941 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1942 1943 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1944 1945 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1946 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1947 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1948 commands until the slave device responds. 1949 1950 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1951 1952 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1953 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1954 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1955 1956 I2C_INIT 1957 1958 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1959 controller or configure ports. 1960 1961 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1962 1963 I2C_PORT 1964 1965 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1966 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1967 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1968 1969 I2C_ACTIVE 1970 1971 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1972 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1973 define can be null. 1974 1975 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1976 1977 I2C_TRISTATE 1978 1979 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1980 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1981 define can be null. 1982 1983 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1984 1985 I2C_READ 1986 1987 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 1988 false if it is low. 1989 1990 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1991 1992 I2C_SDA(bit) 1993 1994 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1995 is false, it clears it (low). 1996 1997 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1998 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1999 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2000 2001 I2C_SCL(bit) 2002 2003 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2004 is false, it clears it (low). 2005 2006 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2007 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2008 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2009 2010 I2C_DELAY 2011 2012 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2013 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2014 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2015 like: 2016 2017 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2018 2019 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2020 2021 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2022 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2023 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2024 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2025 2026 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2027 the generic GPIO functions. 2028 2029 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2030 2031 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2032 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2033 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2034 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2035 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2036 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2037 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2038 is run early in the boot sequence. 2039 2040 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2041 2042 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2043 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2044 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2045 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2046 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2047 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2048 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2049 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2050 2051 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2052 2053 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2054 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2055 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2056 2057 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2058 2059 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2060 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2061 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2062 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2063 2064 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2065 2066 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2067 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2068 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2069 a 1D array of device addresses 2070 2071 e.g. 2072 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2073 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2074 2075 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2076 2077 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2078 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2079 2080 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2081 2082 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2083 2084 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2085 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2086 2087 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2088 2089 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2090 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2091 2092 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2093 2094 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2095 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2096 2097 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2098 2099 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2100 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2101 specified DTT device. 2102 2103 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 2104 2105 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 2106 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 2107 2108 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 2109 2110 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 2111 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 2112 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 2113 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 2114 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 2115 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 2116 2117 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 2118 feature! 2119 2120 Example: 2121 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 2122 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 2123 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 2124 2125 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 2126 2127 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 2128 of I2C Busses with muxes: 2129 2130 => i2c bus 2131 Busses reached over muxes: 2132 Bus ID: 2 2133 reached over Mux(es): 2134 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 2135 Bus ID: 3 2136 reached over Mux(es): 2137 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 2138 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 2139 => 2140 2141 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 2142 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable 2143 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable 2144 the channel 4. 2145 2146 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 2147 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind 2148 the 2 muxes. 2149 2150 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 2151 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 2152 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 2153 to add this option to other architectures. 2154 2155 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2156 2157 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2158 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2159 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2160 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2161 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2162 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2163 the other. 2164 2165- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2166 2167 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2168 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2169 D/As on the SACSng board) 2170 2171 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2172 2173 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2174 only SH7757 is supported. 2175 2176 CONFIG_SPI_X 2177 2178 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2179 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2180 2181 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2182 2183 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2184 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2185 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2186 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2187 defined, the board configuration must define several 2188 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2189 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2190 2191 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2192 2193 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2194 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2195 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2196 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2197 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2198 2199 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2200 2201 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2202 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2203 2204- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2205 2206 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2207 2208 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2209 2210 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2211 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2212 2213 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2214 2215 Enables support for FPGA family. 2216 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2217 2218 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2219 2220 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2221 2222 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2223 2224 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2225 2226 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2227 2228 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2229 status by the configuration function. This option 2230 will require a board or device specific function to 2231 be written. 2232 2233 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2234 2235 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2236 configuration driver. 2237 2238 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2239 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2240 2241 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2242 2243 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2244 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2245 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2246 indicated a CRC error). 2247 2248 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2249 2250 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2251 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2252 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2253 ms. 2254 2255 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2256 2257 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2258 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2259 2260 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2261 2262 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2263 200 ms. 2264 2265- Configuration Management: 2266 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2267 2268 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2269 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2270 2271- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2272 2273 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2274 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2275 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2276 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2277 protects these variables from casual modification by 2278 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2279 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2280 change this behaviour: 2281 2282 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2283 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2284 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2285 these parameters. 2286 2287 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2288 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2289 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2290 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2291 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2292 read-only.] 2293 2294 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2295 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2296 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2297 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2298 2299- Protected RAM: 2300 CONFIG_PRAM 2301 2302 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2303 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2304 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2305 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2306 this default value by defining an environment 2307 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2308 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2309 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2310 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2311 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2312 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2313 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2314 2315 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2316 saveenv 2317 2318 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2319 either, which results in a memory region that will 2320 not be affected by reboots. 2321 2322 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2323 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2324 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2325 following board configurations are known to be 2326 "pRAM-clean": 2327 2328 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2329 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2330 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2331 2332- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2333 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2334 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2335 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2336 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2337 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2338 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2339 2340- Error Recovery: 2341 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2342 2343 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2344 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2345 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2346 system where you want the system to reboot 2347 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2348 useful during development since you can try to debug 2349 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2350 2351 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2352 2353 This variable defines the number of retries for 2354 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2355 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2356 default value of 5 is used. 2357 2358 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2359 2360 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2361 2362 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2363 2364 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2365 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2366 try longer timeout such as 2367 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2368 2369- Command Interpreter: 2370 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2371 2372 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2373 2374 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2375 for the "hush" shell. 2376 2377 2378 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2379 2380 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2381 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2382 powerful command line syntax like 2383 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2384 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2385 2386 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2387 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2388 2389 2390 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2391 2392 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2393 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2394 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2395 2396 Note: 2397 2398 In the current implementation, the local variables 2399 space and global environment variables space are 2400 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2401 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2402 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2403 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2404 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2405 2406 Global environment variables are those you use 2407 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2408 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2409 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2410 2411 To store commands and special characters in a 2412 variable, please use double quotation marks 2413 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2414 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2415 symbols. 2416 2417- Commandline Editing and History: 2418 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2419 2420 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2421 commandline input operations 2422 2423- Default Environment: 2424 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2425 2426 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2427 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2428 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2429 2430 For example, place something like this in your 2431 board's config file: 2432 2433 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2434 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2435 "myvar2=value2\0" 2436 2437 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2438 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2439 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2440 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2441 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2442 You better know what you are doing here. 2443 2444 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2445 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2446 the environment like the "source" command or the 2447 boot command first. 2448 2449 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2450 2451 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2452 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2453 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2454 2455 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2456 2457 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2458 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2459 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2460 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2461 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2462 2463 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2464 2465 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2466 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2467 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2468 2469 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2470 2471 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2472 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2473 that so that the environment is not available until 2474 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2475 this is instead controlled by the value of 2476 /config/load-environment. 2477 2478- DataFlash Support: 2479 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2480 2481 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2482 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2483 commands cp, md... 2484 2485- Serial Flash support 2486 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2487 2488 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2489 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2490 2491 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2492 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2493 commands. 2494 2495 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2496 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2497 flash is present on the system. 2498 2499 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2500 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2501 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2502 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2503 2504 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2505 2506 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2507 test ('sf test'). 2508 2509- SystemACE Support: 2510 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2511 2512 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2513 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2514 of the chip must also be defined in the 2515 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2516 2517 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2518 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2519 2520 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2521 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2522 2523- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2524 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2525 2526 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2527 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2528 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2529 number generator is used. 2530 2531 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2532 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2533 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2534 2535 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2536 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2537 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2538 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2539 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2540 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2541 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2542 2543- Hashing support: 2544 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2545 2546 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2547 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2548 2549 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2550 2551 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2552 size a little. 2553 2554 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2555 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2556 2557 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2558 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2559 2560- Show boot progress: 2561 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2562 2563 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2564 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2565 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2566 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2567 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2568 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2569 2570- Detailed boot stage timing 2571 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2572 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2573 of the boot process. 2574 2575 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2576 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2577 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2578 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2579 the limit, recording will stop. 2580 2581 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2582 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2583 2584 Timer summary in microseconds: 2585 Mark Elapsed Stage 2586 0 0 reset 2587 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2588 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2589 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2590 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2591 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2592 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2593 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2594 2595 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2596 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2597 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2598 2599 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2600 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2601 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2602 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2603 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2604 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2605 For example: 2606 2607 bootstage { 2608 154 { 2609 name = "board_init_f"; 2610 mark = <3575678>; 2611 }; 2612 170 { 2613 name = "lcd"; 2614 accum = <33482>; 2615 }; 2616 }; 2617 2618 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2619 2620Legacy uImage format: 2621 2622 Arg Where When 2623 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2624 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

CONFIG_FIT 2775 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 2776 2777 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 2778 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 2779 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 2780 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2781 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2782 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2783 2784- Standalone program support: 2785 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2786 2787 This option defines a board specific value for the 2788 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2789 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2790 settings. 2791 2792- Frame Buffer Address: 2793 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2794 2795 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2796 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2797 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2798 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2799 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2800 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2801 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2802 configured panel size. 2803 2804 Please see board_init_f function. 2805 2806- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2807 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2808 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2809 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2810 2811 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2812 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2813 2814- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2815 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2816 2817 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2818 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2819 2820 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2821 2822 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2823 kernel.

This leaves 2836 warnings and errors enabled. 2837 2838- UBIFS support 2839 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 2840 2841 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 2842 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 2843 2844 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 2845 2846 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 2847 2848 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 2849 warnings and errors enabled. 2850 2851- SPL framework 2852 CONFIG_SPL 2853 Enable building of SPL globally. 2854 2855 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 2856 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 2857 2858 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 2859 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 2860 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 2861 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 2862 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2863 must not be both defined at the same time. 2864 2865 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 2866 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 2867 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 2868 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 2869 not exceed it. 2870 2871 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 2872 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 2873 2874 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 2875 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 2876 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 2877 2878 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 2879 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 2880 2881 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2882 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 2883 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 2884 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 2885 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2886 must not be both defined at the same time. 2887 2888 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 2889 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 2890 2891 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 2892 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 2893 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 2894 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 2895 2896 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 2897 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2898 2899 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 2900 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2901 2902 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 2903 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 2904 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 2905 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 2906 2907 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 2908 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 2909 about the running system. 2910 2911 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 2912 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 2913 2914 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 2915 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 2916 2917 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 2918 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 2919 2920 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 2921 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 2922 2923 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 2924 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 2925 2926 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 2927 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 2928 2929 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 2930 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 2931 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 2932 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 2933 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 2934 2935 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 2936 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 2937 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 2938 2939 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 2940 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 2941 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 2942 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 2943 (for falcon mode) 2944 2945 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 2946 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 2947 2948 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 2949 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 2950 2951 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 2952 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 2953 from FAT (for Falcon mode) 2954 2955 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 2956 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 2957 when reading from FAT (for Falcon mode) 2958 2959 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 2960 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 2961 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 2962 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 2963 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 2964 2965 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 2966 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 2967 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 2968 2969 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 2970 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 2971 2972 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 2973 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 2974 2975 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 2976 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 2977 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 2978 2979 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 2980 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 2981 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 2982 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 2983 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 2984 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 2985 to read U-Boot 2986 2987 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 2988 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 2989 2990 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 2991 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 2992 2993 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 2994 Size of image to load 2995 2996 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 2997 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 2998 2999 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3000 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3001 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3002 3003 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3004 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3005 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3006 3007 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3008 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3009 3010 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3011 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3012 3013 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3014 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3015 3016 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3017 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3018 3019 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3020 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3021 3022 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3023 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3024 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3025 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3026 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3027 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3028 3029 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3030 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3031 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3032 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3033 3034 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3035 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3036 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3037 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3038 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3039 3040Modem Support: 3041-------------- 3042 3043[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3044 3045- Modem support enable: 3046 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3047 3048- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3049 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3050 3051- Modem debug support: 3052 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3053 3054 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3055 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3056 3057- Interrupt support (PPC): 3058 3059 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3060 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3061 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3062 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3063 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3064 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3065 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3066 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3067 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3068 general timer_interrupt(). 3069 3070- General: 3071 3072 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3073 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3074 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3075 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3076 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3077 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3078 initialization. 3079 3080 If there are no modem init strings in the 3081 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3082 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3083 suppressed, though. 3084 3085 See also: doc/README.Modem 3086 3087Board initialization settings: 3088------------------------------ 3089 3090During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3091to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3092before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3093following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3094architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3095typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3096 3097- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3098- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3099- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3100- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3101 3102Configuration Settings: 3103----------------------- 3104 3105- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3106 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3107 3108- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3109 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3110 3111- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3112 prompt for user input. 3113 3114- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3115 3116- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3117 3118- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3119 3120- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3121 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3122 booted 3123 3124- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3125 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3126 3127- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3128 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3129 3130- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3131 If the board specific function 3132 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3133 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3134 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3135 3136- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3137 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3138 3139- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3140 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3141 3142- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3143 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3144 simple memory test. 3145 3146- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3147 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3148 3149- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3150 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3151 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3152 3153- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3154 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3155 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3156 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3157 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3158 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3159 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3160 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3161 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3162 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3163 3164 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3165 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3166 be touched. 3167 3168 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3169 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3170 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3171 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3172 problems. 3173 3174- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3175 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3176 3177- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3178 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3179 3180- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3181 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3182 Cogent motherboard) 3183 3184- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3185 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3186 3187- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3188 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3189 make config files to be same as the text base address 3190 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3191 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3192 3193- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3194 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3195 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3196 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3197 flash sector. 3198 3199- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3200 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3201 3202- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3203 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3204 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3205 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3206 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3207 3208- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3209 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3210 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3211 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3212 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3213 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3214 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3215 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3216 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3217 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3218 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3219 3220- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3221 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3222 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3223 is enabled. 3224 3225- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3226 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3227 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3228 3229- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3230 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3231 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3232 3233- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3234 Max number of Flash memory banks 3235 3236- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3237 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3238 3239- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3240 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3241 3242- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3243 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3244 3245- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3246 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3247 3248- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3249 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3250 3251- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3252 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3253 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3254 3255- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3256 3257 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3258 without this option such a download has to be 3259 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3260 copy from RAM to flash. 3261 3262 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3263 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3264 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3265 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3266 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3267 3268- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3269 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3270 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3271 3272- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3273 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3274 in the drivers directory 3275 3276- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3277 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3278 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3279 to the MTD layer. 3280 3281- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3282 Use buffered writes to flash. 3283 3284- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3285 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3286 write commands. 3287 3288- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3289 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3290 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3291 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3292 optionally available. 3293 3294- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3295 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3296 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3297 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3298 3299- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3300 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3301 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3302 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3303 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3304 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3305 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3306 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3307 3308- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3309 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3310 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3311 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3312 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3313 on high Ethernet traffic. 3314 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3315 3316- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3317 3318 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3319 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3320 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3321 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3322 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3323 3324- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3325- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3326 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when 3327 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3328 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3329 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3330 3331 The format of the list is: 3332 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3333 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3334 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3335 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3336 list = entry[,list] 3337 3338 The type attributes are: 3339 s - String (default) 3340 d - Decimal 3341 x - Hexadecimal 3342 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3343 i - IP address 3344 m - MAC address 3345 3346 The access attributes are: 3347 a - Any (default) 3348 r - Read-only 3349 o - Write-once 3350 c - Change-default 3351 3352 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3353 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3354 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3355 3356 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3357 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3358 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3359 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3360 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3361 ".flags" variable. 3362 3363- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3364 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3365 access flags. 3366 3367- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 3368 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 3369 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 3370 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 3371 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 3372 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 3373 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 3374 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 3375 your board please report the problem and send patches! 3376 3377- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS 3378 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols 3379 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an 3380 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than 3381 directly. You should not need to touch this setting. 3382 3383- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 3384 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 3385 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 3386 the value can be calulated on a given board. 3387 3388The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3389of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3390following configurations: 3391 3392- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3393 3394 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3395 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3396 3397- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3398 3399 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3400 3401 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3402 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3403 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3404 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3405 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3406 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3407 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3408 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3409 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3410 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3411 between U-Boot and the environment. 3412 3413 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3414 3415 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3416 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3417 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3418 for this sector is given here. 3419 3420 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3421 3422 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3423 3424 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3425 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3426 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3427 3428 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3429 3430 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3431 3432 3433 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3434 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3435 the environment. 3436 3437 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3438 3439 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3440 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3441 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3442 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3443 3444 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3445 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3446 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3447 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3448 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3449 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3450 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3451 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3452 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3453 3454 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3455 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3456 3457 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3458 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3459 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3460 a "saveenv" operation. 3461 3462BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3463source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3464accordingly! 3465 3466 3467- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3468 3469 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3470 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3471 environment. 3472 3473 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3474 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3475 3476 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3477 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3478 can just be read and written to, without any special 3479 provision. 3480 3481BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3482in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3483console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3484U-Boot will hang. 3485 3486Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3487environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3488keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3489to save the current settings. 3490 3491 3492- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3493 3494 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3495 device and a driver for it. 3496 3497 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3498 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3499 3500 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3501 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3502 3503 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3504 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3505 The default address is zero. 3506 3507 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3508 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3509 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3510 would require six bits. 3511 3512 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3513 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3514 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3515 3516 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3517 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3518 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3519 3520 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3521 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3522 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3523 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3524 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3525 byte chips. 3526 3527 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3528 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3529 in the chip address. 3530 3531 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3532 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3533 3534 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3535 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3536 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3537 3538 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3539 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3540 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3541 EEPROM. For example: 3542 3543 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 3544 3545 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3546 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3547 3548- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3549 3550 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3551 want to use for the environment. 3552 3553 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3554 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3555 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3556 3557 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3558 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3559 at the specified address. 3560 3561- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3562 3563 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3564 want to use for the local device's environment. 3565 3566 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3567 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3568 3569 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3570 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3571 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3572 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3573 3574BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3575"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3576environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3577but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3578 3579- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3580 3581 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3582 for the environment. 3583 3584 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3585 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3586 3587 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3588 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3589 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3590 3591 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3592 3593 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3594 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3595 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3596 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3597 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3598 3599 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3600 3601 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3602 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3603 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3604 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3605 the range to be avoided. 3606 3607 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3608 3609 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3610 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3611 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3612 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3613 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3614 3615- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3616 3617 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3618 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3619 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3620 3621- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 3622 3623 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 3624 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 3625 accesses, which is important on NAND. 3626 3627 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 3628 3629 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 3630 3631 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 3632 3633 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 3634 environment in. 3635 3636 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 3637 3638 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 3639 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 3640 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 3641 3642 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3643 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3644 3645 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 3646 when storing the env in UBI. 3647 3648- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 3649 3650 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 3651 environment. 3652 3653 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 3654 3655 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 3656 3657 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 3658 3659 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 3660 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 3661 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 3662 3663 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3664 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3665 3666 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3667 area within the specified MMC device. 3668 3669 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 3670 MMC sector boundary. 3671 3672 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3673 3674 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 3675 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 3676 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 3677 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 3678 3679 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 3680 an MMC sector boundary. 3681 3682 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 3683 3684 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 3685 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 3686 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3687 3688- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3689 3690 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3691 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3692 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3693 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3694 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3695 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3696 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3697 3698Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3699has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3700created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3701until then to read environment variables. 3702 3703The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3704is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3705with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3706necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3707"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3708have any device yet where we could complain.] 3709 3710Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3711the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3712use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3713 3714- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3715 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3716 3717 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3718 also needs to be defined. 3719 3720- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3721 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3722 3723- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3724 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3725 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3726 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3727 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3728 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3729 3730- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3731 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3732 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3733 to do this. 3734 3735- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3736 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3737 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3738 present. 3739 3740Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3741--------------------------------------------------- 3742 3743- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3744 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3745 3746- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3747 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3748 3749 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3750 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3751 the IMMR register after a reset. 3752 3753- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3754 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3755 PowerPC SOCs. 3756 3757- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3758 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3759 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3760 3761 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3762 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3763 3764- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3765 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3766 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3767 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3768 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3769 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3770 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3771 3772 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3773 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3774 3775- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3776 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3777 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3778 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3779 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3780 3781- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3782 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3783 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3784 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3785 3786- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3787 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3788 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3789 3790- Floppy Disk Support: 3791 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3792 3793 the default drive number (default value 0) 3794 3795 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3796 3797 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3798 (default value 1) 3799 3800 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3801 3802 defines the offset of register from address. It 3803 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3804 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3805 3806 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3807 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3808 default value. 3809 3810 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3811 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3812 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3813 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 3814 initializations. 3815 3816- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3817 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3818 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3819 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3820 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3821 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3822 is requierd. 3823 3824- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3825 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3826 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 3827 3828- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3829 3830 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3831 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3832 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3833 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3834 will become available only after programming the 3835 memory controller and running certain initialization 3836 sequences. 3837 3838 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3839 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3840 - MPC824X: data cache 3841 - PPC4xx: data cache 3842 3843- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3844 3845 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3846 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3847 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3848 data is located at the end of the available space 3849 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3850 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3851 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3852 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3853 3854 Note: 3855 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3856 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3857 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3858 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3859 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3860 3861- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 3862 3863- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 3864 3865- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 3866 3867- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 3868 3869- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 3870 3871- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3872 3873- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3874 SDRAM timing 3875 3876- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3877 periodic timer for refresh 3878 3879- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 3880 3881- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3882 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3883 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3884 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3885 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3886 3887- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3888 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3889 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3890 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3891 3892- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 3893 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 3894 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 3895 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 3896 3897- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3898 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3899 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 3900 3901- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3902 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3903 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 3904 3905- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3906 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3907 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 3908 3909- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 3910 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board.

If specified, then DDR should 3997 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 3998 3999- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4000 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4001 4002- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4003 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4004 to the given FEC; i. e. 4005 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4006 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4007 4008 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4009 4010- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4011 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4012 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4013 4014- CONFIG_RMII 4015 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4016 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4017 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4018 4019- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4020 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4021 The syntax is: 4022 4023 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4024 4025 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4026 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4027 area should have. 4028 4029- CONFIG_LOOPW 4030 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4031 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4032 4033- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4034 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4035 "md/mw" commands. 4036 Examples: 4037 4038 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4039 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4040 4041 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4042 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4043 4044 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4045 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4046 4047- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4048 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4049 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4050 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4051 relocate itself into RAM. 4052 4053 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4054 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4055 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4056 these initializations itself. 4057 4058- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4059 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4060 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4061 compiling a NAND SPL. 4062 4063- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4064 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4065 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4066 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4067 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4068 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4069 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4070 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4071 4072- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4073 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4074 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4075 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4076 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4077 4078- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4079 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4080 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4081 4082- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4083 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4084 4085 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4086 4087Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4088----------------------------------- 4089 4090The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4091loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4092This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4093are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4094within that device. 4095 4096- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4097 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4098 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4099 is also specified. 4100 4101- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4102 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4103 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4104 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4105 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4106 4107- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4108 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4109 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4110 virtual address in NOR flash. 4111 4112- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4113 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4114 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4115 4116- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4117 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4118 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4119 4120- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4121 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4122 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4123 4124- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4125 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4126 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4127 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4128 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4129 master's memory space. 4130 4131Building the Software: 4132====================== 4133 4134Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4135and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4136all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4137(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4138recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4139which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4140 4141If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4142have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4143you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4144Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4145necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4146 4147 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4148 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4149 4150Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4151 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4152 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4153 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4154 4155 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4156 4157 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4158 be executed on computers running Windows. 4159 4160U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4161sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4162is done by typing: 4163 4164 make NAME_config 4165 4166where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4167rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4168 4169Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4170 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4171 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4172 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4173 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4174 4175 make TQM823L_config 4176 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4177 4178 make TQM823L_LCD_config 4179 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4180 4181 etc. 4182 4183 4184Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4185images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4186 4187- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4188- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4189- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4190 4191By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4192in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4193this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4194 41951. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4196 4197 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4198 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 4199 make O=/tmp/build all 4200 42012. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4202 4203 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4204 make distclean 4205 make NAME_config 4206 make all 4207 4208Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4209variable. 4210 4211 4212Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4213for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4214native "make". 4215 4216 4217If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4218to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4219steps: 4220 42211. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4222 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4223 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 42242. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4225 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4226 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 42273. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4228 your board 42293. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4230 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 42314. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 42325. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4233 to be installed on your target system. 42346. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4235 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4236 4237 4238Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4239============================================================== 4240 4241If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4242or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4243provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4244the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4245official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4246 4247But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4248cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4249the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4250just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4251for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4252select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4253environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4254you can type 4255 4256 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4257 4258or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4259 4260 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4261 4262When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4263U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4264setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4265built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4266<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4267location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4268variable. For example: 4269 4270 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4271 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 4272 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4273 4274With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 4275log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 4276during the whole build process. 4277 4278 4279See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 4280 4281 4282Monitor Commands - Overview: 4283============================ 4284 4285go - start application at address 'addr' 4286run - run commands in an environment variable 4287bootm - boot application image from memory 4288bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 4289bootz - boot zImage from memory 4290tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 4291 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 4292 (and eventually "gatewayip") 4293tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 4294rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 4295diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4296loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4297loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4298md - memory display 4299mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4300nm - memory modify (constant address) 4301mw - memory write (fill) 4302cp - memory copy 4303cmp - memory compare 4304crc32 - checksum calculation 4305i2c - I2C sub-system 4306sspi - SPI utility commands 4307base - print or set address offset 4308printenv- print environment variables 4309setenv - set environment variables 4310saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4311protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4312erase - erase FLASH memory 4313flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4314nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4315bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4316iminfo - print header information for application image 4317coninfo - print console devices and informations 4318ide - IDE sub-system 4319loop - infinite loop on address range 4320loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4321mtest - simple RAM test 4322icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4323dcache - enable or disable data cache 4324reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4325echo - echo args to console 4326version - print monitor version 4327help - print online help 4328? - alias for 'help' 4329 4330 4331Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4332======================================== 4333 4334TODO. 4335 4336For now: just type "help <command>". 4337 4338 4339Environment Variables: 4340====================== 4341 4342U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4343can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4344 4345Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4346"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4347without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4348environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4349working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4350environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4351 4352Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4353 4354List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4355 4356 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4357 4358 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4359 4360 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4361 4362 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4363 4364 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4365 4366 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4367 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4368 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4369 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4370 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4371 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4372 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4373 bootm_mapsize. 4374 4375 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4376 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4377 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4378 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4379 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4380 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4381 used otherwise. 4382 4383 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4384 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4385 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4386 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4387 environment variable. 4388 4389 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4390 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4391 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4392 4393 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4394 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4395 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4396 load any image using TFTP 4397 4398 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4399 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4400 be automatically started (by internally calling 4401 "bootm") 4402 4403 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4404 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4405 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4406 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4407 data. 4408 4409 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4410 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4411 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4412 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4413 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4414 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4415 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4416 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4417 access it during the boot procedure. 4418 4419 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4420 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4421 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4422 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4423 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4424 must be accessible by the kernel. 4425 4426 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4427 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4428 defined. 4429 4430 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4431 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4432 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4433 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4434 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4435 4436 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4437 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4438 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4439 is usually what you want since it allows for 4440 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4441 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4442 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4443 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4444 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4445 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4446 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4447 4448 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4449 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4450 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4451 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4452 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4453 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4454 4455 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4456 4457 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4458 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4459 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4460 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4461 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4462 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4463 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4464 4465 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4466 4467 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4468 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4469 4470 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4471 4472 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4473 4474 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4475 4476 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4477 4478 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4479 4480 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4481 4482 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4483 For example you can do the following 4484 4485 => setenv ethact FEC 4486 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4487 => setenv ethact SCC 4488 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4489 4490 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4491 available network interfaces. 4492 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4493 4494 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4495 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4496 When set to "once" the network operation will 4497 fail when all the available network interfaces 4498 are tried once without success. 4499 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4500 themselves. 4501 4502 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4503 4504 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4505 UDP source port. 4506 4507 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4508 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4509 4510 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4511 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4512 4513 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4514 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4515 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4516 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4517 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4518 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4519 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4520 4521 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4522 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4523 VLAN tagged frames. 4524 4525The following image location variables contain the location of images 4526used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4527not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4528variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4529server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4530loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4531flash or offset in NAND flash. 4532 4533*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4534boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4535boards use these variables for other purposes. 4536 4537Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4538----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4539u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4540Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4541device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4542ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4543 4544The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4545updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4546depending the information provided by your boot server: 4547 4548 bootfile - see above 4549 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4550 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4551 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4552 hostname - Target hostname 4553 ipaddr - see above 4554 netmask - Subnet Mask 4555 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4556 serverip - see above 4557 4558 4559There are two special Environment Variables: 4560 4561 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4562 as type string and/or serial number 4563 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4564 4565These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4566the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4567once they have been set once. 4568 4569 4570Further special Environment Variables: 4571 4572 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4573 with the "version" command. This variable is 4574 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4575 4576 4577Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4578only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4579 4580 4581Callback functions for environment variables: 4582--------------------------------------------- 4583 4584For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4585when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4586be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4587deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4588effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4589 4590The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4591U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4592 4593These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4594static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4595in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4596associations. The list must be in the following format: 4597 4598 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4599 list = entry[,list] 4600 4601If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4602Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4603 4604Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4605with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4606override any association in the static list. You can define 4607CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4608".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4609 4610 4611Command Line Parsing: 4612===================== 4613 4614There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4615the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4616 4617Old, simple command line parser: 4618-------------------------------- 4619 4620- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4621- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4622- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4623- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4624 for example: 4625 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4626- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4627 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4628 4629Hush shell: 4630----------- 4631 4632- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4633 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4634 until...do...done, ... 4635- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4636 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4637 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4638 command 4639 4640General rules: 4641-------------- 4642 4643(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4644 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4645 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4646 executed anyway. 4647 4648(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4649 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4650 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4651 variables are not executed. 4652 4653Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4654======================================= 4655 4656Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4657such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4658"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4659 4660Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4661MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4662"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4663 4664If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4665in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4666ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4667variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4668 4669o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4670 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4671 4672o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4673 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4674 used. 4675 4676o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4677 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4678 4679o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4680 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4681 warning is printed. 4682 4683o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4684 is raised. 4685 4686If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4687will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4688may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4689The naming convention is as follows: 4690"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4691 4692Image Formats: 4693============== 4694 4695U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4696images in two formats: 4697 4698New uImage format (FIT) 4699----------------------- 4700 4701Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4702to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4703components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4704SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4705 4706 4707Old uImage format 4708----------------- 4709 4710Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4711preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4712details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4713 4714* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4715 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4716 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4717 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4718 INTEGRITY). 4719* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4720 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4721 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4722* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4723* Load Address 4724* Entry Point 4725* Image Name 4726* Image Timestamp 4727 4728The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4729and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4730CRC32 checksums. 4731 4732 4733Linux Support: 4734============== 4735 4736Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4737easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4738U-Boot. 4739 4740U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4741special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4742"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4743instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4744serves several purposes: 4745 4746- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4747 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4748 Flash memory footprint) 4749 4750- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4751 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4752 4753- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4754 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4755 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4756 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4757 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4758 software is easier now. 4759 4760 4761Linux HOWTO: 4762============ 4763 4764Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4765--------------------------------------- 4766 4767U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4768configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4769(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4770Linux :-). 4771 4772But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4773 4774Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4775include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4776Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4777and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4778as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4779 4780 4781Configuring the Linux kernel: 4782----------------------------- 4783 4784No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4785device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4786 4787 4788Building a Linux Image: 4789----------------------- 4790 4791With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4792not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4793"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4794U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4795which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4796100% compatible format. 4797 4798Example: 4799 4800 make TQM850L_config 4801 make oldconfig 4802 make dep 4803 make uImage 4804 4805The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4806encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4807CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4808 4809* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4810 4811* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4812 4813 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4814 -R .note -R .comment \ 4815 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4816 4817* compress the binary image: 4818 4819 gzip -9 linux.bin 4820 4821* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4822 4823 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4824 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4825 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4826 4827 4828The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4829with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4830combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4831byte header containing information about target architecture, 4832operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4833stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4834 4835"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4836print the header information, or to build new images. 4837 4838In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4839contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4840checksum verification: 4841 4842 tools/mkimage -l image 4843 -l ==> list image header information 4844 4845The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4846from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4847 4848 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4849 -n name -d data_file image 4850 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4851 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4852 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4853 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4854 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4855 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4856 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4857 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4858 4859Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4860address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4861kernel version: 4862 4863- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4864- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4865 4866So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4867 4868 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4869 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4870 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4871 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4872 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4873 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4874 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4875 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4876 Load Address: 0x00000000 4877 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4878 4879To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4880 4881 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4882 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4883 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4884 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4885 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4886 Load Address: 0x00000000 4887 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4888 4889NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4890speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4891needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4892need to be uncompressed: 4893 4894 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4895 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4896 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4897 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4898 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4899 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4900 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4901 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4902 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4903 Load Address: 0x00000000 4904 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4905 4906 4907Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4908when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4909 4910 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4911 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4912 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4913 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4914 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4915 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4916 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4917 Load Address: 0x00000000 4918 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4919 4920 4921Installing a Linux Image: 4922------------------------- 4923 4924To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4925you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4926 4927 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4928 4929The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4930image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4931address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5112 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5113 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5114 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5115 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5116 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5117 being started. 5118 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5119 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5120 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5121 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5122 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5123 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5124 5125 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5126 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5127 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5128 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5129 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5130 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5131 5132 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5133 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5134 flash memory. 5135 5136 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5137 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5138 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5139 as command interpreter. 5140 5141Booting the Linux zImage: 5142------------------------- 5143 5144On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5145using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5146as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5147 5148Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5149kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5150address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5151format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5152 5153 5154Standalone HOWTO: 5155================= 5156 5157One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5158run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5159U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5160 5161Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5162 5163"Hello World" Demo: 5164------------------- 5165 5166'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5167application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5168It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5169like that: 5170 5171 => loads 5172 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5173 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5174 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5175 [file transfer complete] 5176 [connected] 5177 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5178 5179 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5200controlled by the following keys: 5201 5202 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5203 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5204 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5205 q - quit application 5206 5207 => loads 5208 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5209 ~>examples/timer.srec 5210 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5211 [file transfer complete] 5212 [connected] 5213 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5214 5215 => go 40004 5216 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5217 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5218 Using timer 1 5219 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5220 5221Hit 'b': 5222 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5223 Enabling timer 5224Hit '?': 5225 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5226 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5227Hit '?': 5228 [q, b, e, ?] . 5229 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5230Hit '?': 5231 [q, b, e, ?] . 5232 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5233Hit '?': 5234 [q, b, e, ?] . 5235 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5236Hit 'e': 5237 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5238Hit 'q': 5239 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5240 5241 5242Minicom warning: 5243================ 5244 5245Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5246"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5247consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5248Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5249especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5250use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5251http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5252for help with kermit. 5253 5254 5255Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5256configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5257 5258 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5275 5276 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5277 # mkdir powerpc 5278 # ln -s powerpc machine 5279 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5280 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5281 5282Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5283and U-Boot include files. 5284 5285Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5286stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5287proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5288tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5289meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5290 5291 5292Implementation Internals: 5293========================= 5294 5295The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5296implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5297inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5298hardware. 5299 5300 5301Initial Stack, Global Data: 5302--------------------------- 5303 5304The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5305starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5306system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5307This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5308is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5309at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5310options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5311models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5312MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5313locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5314 5315 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5316 U-Boot mailing list: 5317 5318 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5319 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5320 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5321 ... 5322 5323 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5324 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5325 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5326 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5327 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5328 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5329 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5330 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5331 5332 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5333 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5334 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5335 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5336 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5337 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5338 used. 5339 5340 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5341 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5342 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5343 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5344 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5345 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5346 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5347 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5348 you get the config right. 5349 5350 -Chris Hallinan 5351 DS4.COM, Inc. 5352 5353It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5354code for the initialization procedures: 5355 5356* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5357 to write it. 5358 5359* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5360 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5361 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5362 5363* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5364 that. 5365 5366Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5367normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5368turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5369simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5370functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5371functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5372the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5373place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5374reserve for this purpose. 5375 5376When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5377relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5378GCC's implementation. 5379 5380For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5381 R1: stack pointer 5382 R2: reserved for system use 5383 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5384 R5-R10: parameter passing 5385 R13: small data area pointer 5386 R30: GOT pointer 5387 R31: frame pointer 5388 5389 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5390 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5391 going back and forth between asm and C) 5392 5393 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5394 5395 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5396 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5397 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5398 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5399 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5400 624 text + 127 data). 5401 5402On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5403 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5404 5405 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5406 5407On ARM, the following registers are used: 5408 5409 R0: function argument word/integer result 5410 R1-R3: function argument word 5411 R9: GOT pointer 5412 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 5413 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5414 R12: temporary workspace 5415 R13: stack pointer 5416 R14: link register 5417 R15: program counter 5418 5419 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 5420 5421On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5422 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5423 5424 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5425 5426 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5427 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5428 5429On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5430 5431 R0-R1: argument/return 5432 R2-R5: argument 5433 R15: temporary register for assembler 5434 R16: trampoline register 5435 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5436 R29: global pointer (GP) 5437 R30: link register (LP) 5438 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5439 PC: program counter (PC) 5440 5441 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5442 5443NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5444or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5445 5446Memory Management: 5447------------------ 5448 5449U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5450MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5451 5452The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5453controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5454memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5455physical memory banks. 5456 5457U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5458TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5459booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5460to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5461memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5462configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5463Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5464 5465Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5466of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5467 5468So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5469this: 5470 5471 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5472 : 5473 0x0000 1FFF 5474 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5475 : 5476 : 5477 5478 : 5479 : 5480 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5481 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5482 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5483 : 5484 0x00FD FFFF 5485 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5486 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5487 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5488 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5489 5490 5491System Initialization: 5492---------------------- 5493 5494In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5495(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5496configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5497To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5498To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5499initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5500which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5501part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5502the caches and the SIU. 5503 5504Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5505preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5506(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5507on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5508programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5509simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5510banks. 5511 5512When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5513different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5514bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 55150x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5516contiguous memory starting from 0. 5517 5518Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5519and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5520Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5521pages, and the final stack is set up. 5522 5523Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5524until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5525running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5526new address in RAM. 5527 5528 5529U-Boot Porting Guide: 5530---------------------- 5531 5532[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5533list, October 2002] 5534 5535 5536int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5537{ 5538 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5539 5540 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5541 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5542 5543 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5544 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5545 return 0; 5546 } 5547 5548 Download latest U-Boot source; 5549 5550 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5551 5552 if (clueless) 5553 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5554 5555 while (learning) { 5556 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5557 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5558 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5559 Read the source, Luke; 5560 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5561 } 5562 5563 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5564 Buy a BDI3000; 5565 else 5566 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5567 5568 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5569 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5570 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5571 } else { 5572 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5573 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5574 } 5575 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5576 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5577 5578 while (!accepted) { 5579 while (!running) { 5580 do { 5581 Add / modify source code; 5582 } until (compiles); 5583 Debug; 5584 if (clueless) 5585 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5586 } 5587 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5588 if (reasonable critiques) 5589 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5590 else 5591 Defend code as written; 5592 } 5593 5594 return 0; 5595} 5596 5597void no_more_time (int sig) 5598{ 5599 hire_a_guru(); 5600} 5601 5602 5603Coding Standards: 5604----------------- 5605 5606All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5607coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5608"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5609 5610Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5611MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5612reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5613sources. 5614 5615Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5616Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5617in your code. 5618 5619Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5620- remove any trailing white space 5621- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5622- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5623- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5624- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5625 5626Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5627with a request to reformat the changes. 5628 5629 5630Submitting Patches: 5631------------------- 5632 5633Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5634establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5635may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5636 5637Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5638 5639Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5640see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5641 5642When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5643it: 5644 5645* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5646 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5647 patch actually fixes something. 5648 5649* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5650 implementation. 5651 5652* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5653 5654* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5655 5656* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 5657 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 5658 5659* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5660 document these in the README file. 5661 5662* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5663 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5664 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5665 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5666 with some other mail clients. 5667 5668 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5669 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5670 GNU diff. 5671 5672 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5673 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5674 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5675 affected files). 5676 5677 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5678 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5679 5680* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5681 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5682 5683* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5684 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5685 5686 5687Notes: 5688 5689* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5690 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5691 for any of the boards. 5692 5693* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5694 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5695 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5696 5697* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5698 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5699 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5700 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5701 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5702 modification. 5703 5704* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5705 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5706 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5707 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5708
