For instance, all monitor commands are 24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 27load and run it dynamically. 28 29 30Status: 31======= 32 33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 36 37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board 39maintainers. 40 41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; 42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: 43 44 make CHANGELOG 45 46 47Where to get help: 48================== 49 50In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 51U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 52<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

the 229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 230 231There are two classes of configuration variables: 232 233* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 235 "CONFIG_". 236 237* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 240 "CONFIG_SYS_". 241 242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 246as an example here. 247 248 249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 250--------------------------------------------------- 251 252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". 254 255Example: For a TQM823L module type: 256 257 cd u-boot 258 make TQM823L_defconfig 259 260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent 262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 263 264 265Sandbox Environment: 266-------------------- 267 268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' 269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- 270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to 271run some of U-Boot's tests. 272 273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details. 274 275 276Board Initialisation Flow: 277-------------------------- 278 279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both 280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL 281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each 282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this. 283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this. 284 285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after 286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below. 287 288lowlevel_init(): 289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f() 290 - no global_data or BSS 291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed) 292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console 293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to 294 board_init_f() 295 - this is almost never needed 296 - return normally from this function 297 298board_init_f(): 299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r(): 300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART 301 - global_data is available 302 - stack is in SRAM 303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables, 304 only stack variables and global_data 305 306 Non-SPL-specific notes: 307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this 308 can do nothing 309 310 SPL-specific notes: 311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own 312 version as needed. 313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis 314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work 315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S 316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r() 317 directly) 318 319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at 320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below 321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of 322memory. 323 324board_init_r(): 325 - purpose: main execution, common code 326 - global_data is available 327 - SDRAM is available 328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used 329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop() 330 331 Non-SPL-specific notes: 332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from 333 there. 334 335 SPL-specific notes: 336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and 337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM 338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is 339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a 340 spl_board_init() function containing this call 341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux 342 343 344 345Configuration Options: 346---------------------- 347 348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 349such information is kept in a configuration file 350"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 351 352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 353"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 354 355 356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 358build a config tool - later. 359 360 361The following options need to be configured: 362 363- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 364 365- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 366 367- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 368 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 369 370- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 371 Define exactly one of 372 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 373--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 374 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 375 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 376 377- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 378 Define exactly one of 379 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 380 381- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 382 Define one or more of 383 CONFIG_CMA302 384 385- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 386 Define one or more of 387 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 388 the LCD display every second with 389 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 390 391- Marvell Family Member 392 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 393 multiple fs option at one time 394 for marvell soc family 395 396- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 397 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 398 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 399 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 400 reference PIT/RTC clock 401 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 402 or XTAL/EXTAL) 403 404- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 405 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 406 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 407 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 408 See doc/README.MPC866 409 410 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 411 412 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 413 of relying on the correctness of the configured 414 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 415 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 416 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 417 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 418 419 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 420 421 Define this option if you want to enable the 422 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 423 424- 85xx CPU Options: 425 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 426 427 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 428 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 429 compliance, among other possible reasons. 430 431 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 432 433 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 434 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 435 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 436 437 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 438 439 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 440 tree nodes for the given platform. 441 442 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 443 444 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 445 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 446 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 447 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 448 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 449 purpose. 450 451 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 452 453 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 454 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 455 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 458 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 459 460 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 461 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 462 463 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 464 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 465 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 466 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 467 468 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 469 this erratum. 470 471 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 472 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 473 required during NOR boot. 474 475 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND 476 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only 477 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision 478 479 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 480 481 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 482 according to the A004510 workaround. 483 484 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 485 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 486 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 487 488 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 489 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 490 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 491 492 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 493 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 494 connected to the DSP core. 495 496 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 497 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 498 499 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK 500 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's. 501 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply 502 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock. 503 504 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F 505 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the 506 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized. 507 508 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP 509 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is 510 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up. 511 512- Generic CPU options: 513 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA 514 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f(). 515 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in 516 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board 517 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f(). 518 519 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 520 521 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 522 values is arch specific. 523 524 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR 525 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is 526 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core 527 SoCs. 528 529 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR 530 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. 531 532 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 533 Specify emulator support for DDR.

It can be enabled for SoCs with 553 Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board 554 implemetation. 555 556 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2 557 Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with 558 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board 559 implementation. 560 561 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3 562 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with 563 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers. 564 565 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3L 566 Board config to use DDR3L. It can be enabled for SoCs with 567 DDR3L controllers. 568 569 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR4 570 Board config to use DDR4. It can be enabled for SoCs with 571 DDR4 controllers. 572 573 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_BE 574 Defines the IFC controller register space as Big Endian 575 576 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_LE 577 Defines the IFC controller register space as Little Endian 578 579 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_PBI 580 It enables addition of RCW (Power on reset configuration) in built image. 581 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details 582 583 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_RCW 584 It adds PBI(pre-boot instructions) commands in u-boot build image. 585 PBI commands can be used to configure SoC before it starts the execution. 586 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details 587 588 CONFIG_SPL_FSL_PBL 589 It adds a target to create boot binary having SPL binary in PBI format 590 concatenated with u-boot binary. 591 592 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_BE 593 Defines the DDR controller register space as Big Endian 594 595 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_LE 596 Defines the DDR controller register space as Little Endian 597 598 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY 599 Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the 600 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But 601 it could be different for ARM SoCs. 602 603 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B 604 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special 605 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape 606 SoCs with ARM core. 607 608 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS 609 Number of controllers used as main memory. 610 611 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS 612 Number of controllers used for other than main memory. 613 614 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_BE 615 Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian 616 617 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE 618 Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian 619 620- Intel Monahans options: 621 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 622 623 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 624 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 625 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 626 627 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 628 629 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 630 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 631 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 632 by this value. 633 634- MIPS CPU options: 635 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 636 637 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 638 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 639 relocation. 640 641 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 642 643 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 644 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 645 Possible values are: 646 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 647 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 648 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 649 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 650 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 651 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 652 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 653 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 654 655 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 656 657 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 658 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 659 660 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 661 662 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 663 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 664 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 665 666- ARM options: 667 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 668 669 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 670 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 671 672 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 673 674 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 675 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 676 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 677 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 678 GCC. 679 680 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 681 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 682 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 683 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 684 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 685 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320 686 687 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 688 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 689 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 690 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 691 set these options unless they apply! 692 693 COUNTER_FREQUENCY 694 Generic timer clock source frequency. 695 696 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL 697 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is 698 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined 699 at run time. 700 701 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These 702 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine 703 specific checks, but expect no product checks. 704 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973 705 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179 706 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766 707 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870 708 709- Tegra SoC options: 710 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE 711 712 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain 713 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode, 714 such as ARM architectural timer initialization. 715 716- Linux Kernel Interface: 717 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 718 719 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 720 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 721 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 722 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 723 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 724 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 725 Linux kernel. 726 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 727 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 728 default environment. 729 730 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 731 732 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions 733 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 734 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 735 736 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 737 738 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 739 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 740 concepts). 741 742 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 743 * New libfdt-based support 744 * Adds the "fdt" command 745 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 746 747 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 748 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 749 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 750 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 751 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 752 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 753 754 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 755 addresses 756 757 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 758 759 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 760 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 761 762 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP 763 764 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make 765 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel. 766 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting 767 the kernel. 768 769 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 770 771 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 772 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 773 774 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 775 776 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 777 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 778 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 779 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 780 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 781 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 782 783 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 784 785 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 786 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 787 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 788 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 789 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 790 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 791 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 792 793- vxWorks boot parameters: 794 795 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 796 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 797 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 798 799 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 800 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 801 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 802 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 803 804 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 805 806 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 807 808 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 809 the defaults discussed just above. 810 811- Cache Configuration: 812 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 813 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 814 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 815 816- Cache Configuration for ARM: 817 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 818 controller 819 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 820 controller register space 821 822- Serial Ports: 823 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 824 825 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 826 827 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 828 829 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 830 831 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 832 833 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 834 the clock speed of the UARTs. 835 836 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 837 838 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 839 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 840 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 841 842 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 843 844 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 845 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 846 this variable to initialize the extra register. 847 848 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 849 850 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 851 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 852 variable to flush the UART at init time. 853 854 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL 855 856 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. 857 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver 858 859- Console Interface: 860 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 861 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 862 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 863 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 864 865 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 866 port routines must be defined elsewhere 867 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 868 869 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 870 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 871 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 872 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 873 (default big endian) 874 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 875 rectangle fill 876 (cf. smiLynxEM) 877 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 878 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 879 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 880 (cols=pitch) 881 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 882 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 883 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 884 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 885 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 886 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 887 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 888 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 889 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 890 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 891 (i.e. i8042_getc) 892 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 893 (requires blink timer 894 cf. i8042.c) 895 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 896 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 897 upper right corner 898 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 899 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 900 upper left corner 901 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 902 linux_logo.h for logo. 903 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 904 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 905 additional board info beside 906 the logo 907 908 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 909 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 910 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 911 912 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 913 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 914 environment 'console=serial'. 915 916 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 917 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 918 the "silent" environment variable. See 919 doc/README.silent for more information. 920 921 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 922 is 0x00. 923 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 924 is 0xa0. 925 926- Console Baudrate: 927 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 928 Select one of the baudrates listed in 929 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 930 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 931 932- Console Rx buffer length 933 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 934 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 935 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 936 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 937 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 938 the SMC. 939 940- Pre-Console Buffer: 941 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 942 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 943 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 944 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 945 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 946 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 947 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 948 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 949 earlier bytes are discarded. 950 951 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the 952 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack. 953 954 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 955 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 956 957- Safe printf() functions 958 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 959 the printf() functions. These are defined in 960 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 961 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 962 If this option is not given then these functions will 963 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 964 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 965 966- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 967 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 968 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 969 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 970 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 971 972 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 973 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 974 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 975 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 976 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 977 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 978 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 979 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 980 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 981 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 982 983- Autoboot Command: 984 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 985 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 986 define a command string that is automatically executed 987 when no character is read on the console interface 988 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 989 990 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 991 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 992 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 993 environment value "bootargs". 994 995 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 996 The value of these goes into the environment as 997 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 998 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 999 RAM and NFS. 1000 1001- Bootcount: 1002 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 1003 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot 1004 cycle, see: 1005 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 1006 1007 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV 1008 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware 1009 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a 1010 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable 1011 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is 1012 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is 1013 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. 1014 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" 1015 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. 1016 1017- Pre-Boot Commands: 1018 CONFIG_PREBOOT 1019 1020 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 1021 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 1022 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 1023 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 1024 entering interactive mode. 1025 1026 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 1027 automatically generated or modified. For an example 1028 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 1029 modified when the user holds down a certain 1030 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 1031 booting the systems 1032 1033- Serial Download Echo Mode: 1034 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 1035 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 1036 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 1037 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 1038 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 1039 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 1040 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 1041 1042- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 1043 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 1044 Select one of the baudrates listed in 1045 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 1046 1047- Monitor Functions: 1048 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 1049 from the build by using the #include files 1050 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 1051 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands. 1052 1053 The default command configuration includes all commands 1054 except those marked below with a "*". 1055 1056 CONFIG_CMD_AES AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt 1057 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 1058 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 1059 CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger 1060

EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network 1165 support you can write: 1166 1167 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 1168 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 1169 1170 Other Commands: 1171 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1172 1173 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 1174 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 1175 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 1176 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 1177 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 1178 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 1179 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 1180 initial stack and some data. 1181 1182 1183 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 1184 1185- Regular expression support: 1186 CONFIG_REGEX 1187 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 1188 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 1189 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 1190 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 1191 1192- Device tree: 1193 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 1194 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 1195 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 1196 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 1197 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 1198 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 1199 1200 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 1201 be done using one of the two options below: 1202 1203 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 1204 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 1205 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 1206 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 1207 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 1208 the global data structure as gd->blob. 1209 1210 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 1211 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 1212 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 1213 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 1214 1215 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 1216 1217 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 1218 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 1219 still use the individual files if you need something more 1220 exotic. 1221 1222- Watchdog: 1223 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 1224 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 1225 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 1226 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 1227 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 1228 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 1229 available, then no further board specific code should 1230 be needed to use it. 1231 1232 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 1233 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1234 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1235 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1236 1237 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT 1238 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds. 1239 1240- U-Boot Version: 1241 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1242 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1243 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1244 version as printed by the "version" command. 1245 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1246 next reset. 1247 1248- Real-Time Clock: 1249 1250 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1251 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1252 following options: 1253 1254 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1255 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1256 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1257 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1258 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1259 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1260 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1261 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC 1262 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1263 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1264 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1265 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1266 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1267 RV3029 RTC. 1268 1269 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1270 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1271 1272- GPIO Support: 1273 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1274 1275 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1276 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1277 pins supported by a particular chip. 1278 1279 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1280 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1281 1282- I/O tracing: 1283 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O 1284 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out 1285 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is 1286 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that 1287 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code 1288 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To 1289 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' 1290 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. 1291 1292 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. 1293 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will 1294 still continue to operate. 1295 1296 iotrace is enabled 1297 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) 1298 Size: 00010000 (buffer size) 1299 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) 1300 Output: 10000120 (start + offset) 1301 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) 1302 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) 1303 1304- Timestamp Support: 1305 1306 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1307 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1308 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1309 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1310 1311- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1312 Zero or more of the following: 1313 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1314 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1315 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1316 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1317 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1318 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1319 disk/part_efi.c 1320 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1321 1322 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1323 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1324 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1325 1326- IDE Reset method: 1327 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1328 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1329 1330 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1331 be performed by calling the function 1332 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1333 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1334 1335- ATAPI Support: 1336 CONFIG_ATAPI 1337 1338 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1339 1340- LBA48 Support 1341 CONFIG_LBA48 1342 1343 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1344 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1345 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1346 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1347 1348 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1349 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1350 Default is 32bit. 1351 1352- SCSI Support: 1353 At the moment only there is only support for the 1354 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1355 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1356 1357 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1358 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1359 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1360 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1361 devices. 1362 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1363 1364 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1365 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1366 1367- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1368 CONFIG_E1000 1369 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1370 1371 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1372 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1373 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1374 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1375 1376 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1377 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1378 example with the "sspi" command. 1379 1380 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1381 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1382 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1383 1384 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1385 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1386 1387 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1388 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1389 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1390 write routine for first time initialisation. 1391 1392 CONFIG_TULIP 1393 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1394 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1395 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1396 1397 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1398 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1399 1400 CONFIG_NS8382X 1401 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1402 1403- NETWORK Support (other): 1404 1405 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1406 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1407 1408 CONFIG_RMII 1409 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1410 1411 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1412 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1413 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1414 1415 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1416 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1417 1418 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1419 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1420 1421 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1422 Define this to hold the physical address 1423 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1424 1425 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1426 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1427 1428 CONFIG_SMC91111 1429 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1430 1431 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1432 Define this to hold the physical address 1433 of the device (I/O space) 1434 1435 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1436 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1437 1438 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1439 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1440 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1441 1442 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1443 Support for davinci emac 1444 1445 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1446 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1447 1448 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1449 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1450 1451 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1452 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1453 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1454 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1455 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1456 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1457 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1458 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1459 1460 CONFIG_SMC911X 1461 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1462 1463 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1464 Define this to hold the physical address 1465 of the device (I/O space) 1466 1467 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1468 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1469 1470 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1471 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1472 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1473 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1474 1475 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1476 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1477 1478 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1479 Define the number of ports to be used 1480 1481 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1482 Define the ETH PHY's address 1483 1484 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1485 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1486 1487- PWM Support: 1488 CONFIG_PWM_IMX 1489 Support for PWM modul on the imx6. 1490 1491- TPM Support: 1492 CONFIG_TPM 1493 Support TPM devices. 1494 1495 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1496 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1497 per system is supported at this time. 1498 1499 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1500 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1501 1502 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1503 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1504 1505 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1506 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1507 1508 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1509 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1510 1511 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1512 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1513 per system is supported at this time. 1514 1515 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1516 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1517 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1518 0xfed40000. 1519 1520 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1521 Add tpm monitor functions. 1522 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1523 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1524 1525 CONFIG_TPM 1526 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1527 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1528 Requires support for a TPM device. 1529 1530 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1531 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1532 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1533 1534- USB Support: 1535 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1536 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1537 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1538 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1539 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1540 storage devices. 1541 Note: 1542 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1543 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1544 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1545 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1546 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1547 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1548 for USB on PSC3 1549 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1550 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1551 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1552 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1553 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1554 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1555 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1556 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1557 1558 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1559 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1560 1561 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2 1562 HW module registers. 1563 1564- USB Device: 1565 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1566 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1567 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1568 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1569 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1570 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1571 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1572 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1573 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1574 a Linux host by 1575 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1576 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1577 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1578 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1579 1580 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1581 Define this to build a UDC device 1582 1583 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1584 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1585 talk to the UDC device 1586 1587 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1588 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1589 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1590 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1591 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1592 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1593 speed. 1594 1595 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1596 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1597 be set to usbtty. 1598 1599 mpc8xx: 1600 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1601 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1602 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1603 1604 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1605 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1606 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1607 1608 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1609 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1610 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1611 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1612 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1613 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1614 1615 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1616 Define this string as the name of your company for 1617 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1618 1619 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1620 Define this string as the name of your product 1621 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1622 1623 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1624 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1625 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1626 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1627 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1628 1629 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1630 Define this as the unique Product ID 1631 for your device 1632 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1633 1634- ULPI Layer Support: 1635 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1636 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1637 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1638 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1639 viewport is supported. 1640 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1641 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1642 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1643 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1644 the appropriate value in Hz. 1645 1646- MMC Support: 1647 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1648 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1649 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1650 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1651 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1652 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1653 1654 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1655 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1656 1657 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1658 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1659 1660 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1661 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1662 1663 CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC 1664 Enable the generic MMC driver 1665 1666 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT 1667 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions. 1668 1669 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB 1670 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the 1671 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC. 1672 1673- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1674 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1675 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1676 1677 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1678 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1679 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1680 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1681 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1682 1683 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1684 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1685 1686 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1687 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1688 1689 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1690 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1691 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1692 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1693 one that would help mostly the developer. 1694 1695 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1696 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1697 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1698 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1699 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1700 1701 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1702 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1703 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1704 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1705 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1706 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1707 1708 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT 1709 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the 1710 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending 1711 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. 1712 1713 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT 1714 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when 1715 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before 1716 sending again an USB request to the device. 1717 1718- USB Device Android Fastboot support: 1719 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT 1720 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android 1721 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB 1722 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control 1723 used on Android devices. 1724 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information. 1725 1726 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE 1727 This enables support for booting images which use the Android 1728 image format header. 1729 1730 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR 1731 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1732 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for 1733 downloaded images. 1734 1735 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE 1736 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1737 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a 1738 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot. 1739 1740 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH 1741 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing 1742 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define 1743 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command. 1744 1745 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV 1746 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information 1747 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to 1748 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image. 1749 1750 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME 1751 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded 1752 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition 1753 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed 1754 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.) 1755 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the 1756 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value. 1757 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined. 1758 1759- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1760 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1761 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1762 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1763 1764 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1765 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1766 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1767 1768 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1769 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1770 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1771 1772 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1773 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1774 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1775 have not defined a custom partition 1776 1777- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1778 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1779 1780 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1781 file in FAT formatted partition. 1782 1783 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1784 user to write files to FAT. 1785 1786CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1787 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1788 1789 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1790 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1791 and cbfsload. 1792 1793- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size: 1794 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE 1795 1796 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else 1797 a default value of 65536 will be defined. 1798 1799- Keyboard Support: 1800 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1801 1802 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1803 support 1804 1805 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1806 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1807 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1808 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1809 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1810 1811 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1812 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1813 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1814 which provides key scans on request. 1815 1816- Video support: 1817 CONFIG_VIDEO 1818 1819 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1820 video). 1821 1822 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1823 1824 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1825 1826 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1827 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1828 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1829 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1830 assumed. 1831 1832 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1833 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1834 are possible: 1835 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1836 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1837 1838 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1839 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1840 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1841 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1842 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1843 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1844 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1845 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1846 1847 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1848 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1849 1850 1851 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1852 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1853 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1854 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1855 1856 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1857 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1858 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1859 support, and should also define these other macros: 1860 1861 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1862 CONFIG_VIDEO 1863 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1864 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1865 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1866 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1867 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1868 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1869 1870 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1871 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1872 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1873 description of this variable. 1874 1875 1876- Keyboard Support: 1877 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1878 1879 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1880 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1881 defined in your board-specific files. 1882 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1883 1884- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1885 1886 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1887 display); also select one of the supported displays 1888 by defining one of these: 1889 1890 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1891 1892 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1893 1894 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1895 1896 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1897 1898 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1899 1900 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1901 Active, color, single scan. 1902 1903 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1904 1905 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1906 Active, color, single scan. 1907 1908 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1909 1910 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1911 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1912 1913 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1914 1915 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1916 Active, color, single scan. 1917 1918 CONFIG_HLD1045 1919 1920 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1921 Active, color, single scan. 1922 1923 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1924 1925 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1926 or 1927 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1928 or 1929 Hitachi SP14Q002 1930 1931 320x240. Black & white. 1932 1933 Normally display is black on white background; define 1934 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1935 1936 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1937 1938 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is 1939 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1940 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1941 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1942 a per-section basis. 1943 1944 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1945 1946 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1947 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1948 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1949 is slow. 1950 1951 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION 1952 1953 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait 1954 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree, 1955 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the 1956 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are 1957 printed out. 1958 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be 1959 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of 1960 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code. 1961 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to 1962 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline): 1963 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree 1964 1 = 90 degree rotation 1965 2 = 180 degree rotation 1966 3 = 270 degree rotation 1967 1968 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be 1969 initialized with 0degree rotation. 1970 1971 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1972 1973 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1974 1975 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1976 1977 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1978 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1979 1980- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1981 1982 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1983 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1984 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1985 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1986 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1987 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1988 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1989 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1990 1991 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1992 1993 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1994 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1995 (see README.displaying-bmps). 1996 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1997 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1998 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1999 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 2000 there is no need to set this option. 2001 2002 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 2003 2004 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 2005 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 2006 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 2007 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 2008 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 2009 specify 'm' for centering the image. 2010 2011 Example: 2012 setenv splashpos m,m 2013 => image at center of screen 2014 2015 setenv splashpos 30,20 2016 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 2017 2018 setenv splashpos -10,m 2019 => vertically centered image 2020 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 2021 2022- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 2023 2024 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 2025 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 2026 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 2027 2028- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 2029 2030 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 2031 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 2032 bmp command. 2033 2034- Do compressing for memory range: 2035 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 2036 2037 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 2038 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 2039 2040- Compression support: 2041 CONFIG_GZIP 2042 2043 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 2044 2045 CONFIG_BZIP2 2046 2047 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 2048 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 2049 compressed images are supported. 2050 2051 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 2052 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 2053 be at least 4MB. 2054 2055 CONFIG_LZMA 2056 2057 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 2058 images is included. 2059 2060 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 2061 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 2062 formula: 2063 2064 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 2065 2066 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 2067 and Literal pos bits. 2068 2069 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 2070 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 2071 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 2072 a very small buffer. 2073 2074 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 2075 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 2076 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 2077 2078 CONFIG_LZO 2079 2080 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 2081 is included. 2082 2083- MII/PHY support: 2084 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 2085 2086 The address of PHY on MII bus. 2087 2088 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 2089 2090 The clock frequency of the MII bus 2091 2092 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 2093 2094 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 2095 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 2096 2097 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 2098 2099 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 2100 reset before any MII register access is possible. 2101 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 2102 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 2103 2104 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 2105 2106 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 2107 command issued before MII status register can be read 2108 2109- IP address: 2110 CONFIG_IPADDR 2111 2112 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 2113 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 2114 determined through e.g. bootp. 2115 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 2116 2117- Server IP address: 2118 CONFIG_SERVERIP 2119 2120 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 2121 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 2122 (Environment variable "serverip") 2123 2124 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 2125 2126 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 2127 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 2128 2129- Gateway IP address: 2130 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 2131 2132 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 2133 default router where packets to other networks are 2134 sent to. 2135 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 2136 2137- Subnet mask: 2138 CONFIG_NETMASK 2139 2140 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 2141 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 2142 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 2143 forwarded through a router. 2144 (Environment variable "netmask") 2145 2146- Multicast TFTP Mode: 2147 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 2148 2149 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 2150 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 2151 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 2152 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 2153 multicast group. 2154 2155- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 2156 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 2157 2158 If you have many targets in a network that try to 2159 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 2160 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 2161 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 2162 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 2163 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 2164 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 2165 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 2166 following delays are inserted then: 2167 2168 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 2169 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 2170 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 2171 4th and following 2172 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 2173 2174 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE 2175 2176 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The 2177 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and 2178 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of 2179 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses 2180 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP 2181 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to 2182 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it 2183 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that 2184 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order 2185 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these 2186 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of 2187 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this 2188 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding 2189 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers 2190 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. 2191 2192- DHCP Advanced Options: 2193 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 2194 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 2195 2196 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 2197 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 2198 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 2199 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 2200 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 2201 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 2202 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2203 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 2204 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 2205 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 2206 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 2207 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 2208 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 2209 2210 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 2211 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 2212 2213 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 2214 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 2215 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 2216 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 2217 is not available. 2218 2219 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 2220 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 2221 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 2222 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 2223 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 2224 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 2225 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2226 is defined. 2227 2228 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 2229 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 2230 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 2231 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 2232 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 2233 option 12 to the DHCP server. 2234 2235 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 2236 2237 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 2238 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 2239 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 2240 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 2241 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 2242 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 2243 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 2244 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 2245 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 2246 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 2247 this delay. 2248 2249 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 2250 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 2251 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 2252 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 2253 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 2254 2255 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 2256 2257 - CDP Options: 2258 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 2259 2260 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 2261 2262 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 2263 2264 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 2265 of the device. 2266 2267 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 2268 2269 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 2270 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 2271 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 2272 2273 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 2274 2275 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 2276 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 2277 2278 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 2279 2280 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 2281 2282 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 2283 2284 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 2285 2286 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 2287 2288 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 2289 2290 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 2291 2292 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 2293 device in .1 of milliwatts. 2294 2295 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 2296 2297 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 2298 2299- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 2300 2301 Several configurations allow to display the current 2302 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 2303 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 2304 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 2305 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 2306 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 2307 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 2308 feature in U-Boot. 2309 2310 Additional options: 2311 2312 CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2313 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 2314 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 2315 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2316 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 2317 2318 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE 2319 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which 2320 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and 2321 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. 2322 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined 2323 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. 2324 2325- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 2326 2327 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 2328 on those systems that support this (optional) 2329 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 2330 2331- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 2332 2333 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 2334 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 2335 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 2336 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 2337 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 2338 interface. 2339 2340 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 2341 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 2342 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 2343 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 2344 for defining speed and slave address 2345 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 2346 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 2347 for defining speed and slave address 2348 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 2349 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 2350 for defining speed and slave address 2351 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2352 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2353 for defining speed and slave address 2354 2355 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2356 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2357 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2358 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2359 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2360 bus. 2361 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2362 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2363 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2364 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2365 second bus. 2366 2367 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2368 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2369 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2370 100000 and the slave addr 0!

If you 2465 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2466 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2467 omit this define. 2468 2469 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2470 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2471 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2472 omit this define. 2473 2474 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2475 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2476 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2477 define. 2478 2479 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2480 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if 2481 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2482 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2483 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2484 2485 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2486 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2487 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2488 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2489 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2490 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2491 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2492 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2493 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2494 } 2495 2496 which defines 2497 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2498 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2499 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2500 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2501 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2502 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2503 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2504 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2505 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2506 2507 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2508 2509- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2510 2511 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2512 provides the following compelling advantages: 2513 2514 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2515 - approved multibus support 2516 - better i2c mux support 2517 2518 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2519 2520 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2521 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2522 for the selected CPU. 2523 2524 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2525 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2526 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2527 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2528 command line interface. 2529 2530 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2531 2532 There are several other quantities that must also be 2533 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2534 2535 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2536 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2537 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2538 the CPU's i2c node address). 2539 2540 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2541 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2542 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2543 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2544 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2545 2546 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2547 2548 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2549 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2550 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2551 commands until the slave device responds. 2552 2553 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2554 2555 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2556 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2557 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2558 2559 I2C_INIT 2560 2561 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2562 controller or configure ports. 2563 2564 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2565 2566 I2C_PORT 2567 2568 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2569 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2570 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2571 2572 I2C_ACTIVE 2573 2574 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2575 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2576 define can be null. 2577 2578 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2579 2580 I2C_TRISTATE 2581 2582 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2583 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2584 define can be null. 2585 2586 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2587 2588 I2C_READ 2589 2590 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2591 false if it is low. 2592 2593 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2594 2595 I2C_SDA(bit) 2596 2597 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2598 is false, it clears it (low). 2599 2600 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2601 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2602 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2603 2604 I2C_SCL(bit) 2605 2606 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2607 is false, it clears it (low). 2608 2609 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2610 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2611 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2612 2613 I2C_DELAY 2614 2615 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2616 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2617 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2618 like: 2619 2620 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2621 2622 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2623 2624 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2625 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2626 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2627 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2628 2629 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2630 the generic GPIO functions. 2631 2632 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2633 2634 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2635 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2636 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2637 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2638 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2639 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2640 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2641 is run early in the boot sequence. 2642 2643 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2644 2645 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2646 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2647 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2648 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2649 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2650 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2651 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2652 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2653 2654 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2655 2656 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2657 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2658 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2659 2660 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2661 2662 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2663 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2664 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2665 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2666 2667 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2668 2669 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2670 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2671 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2672 a 1D array of device addresses 2673 2674 e.g. 2675 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2676 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2677 2678 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2679 2680 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2681 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2682 2683 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2684 2685 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2686 2687 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2688 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2689 2690 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2691 2692 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2693 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2694 2695 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2696 2697 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2698 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2699 2700 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2701 2702 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2703 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2704 specified DTT device. 2705 2706 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2707 2708 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2709 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2710 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2711 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2712 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2713 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2714 the other. 2715 2716- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2717 2718 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2719 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2720 D/As on the SACSng board) 2721 2722 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2723 2724 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2725 only SH7757 is supported. 2726 2727 CONFIG_SPI_X 2728 2729 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2730 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2731 2732 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2733 2734 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2735 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2736 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2737 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2738 defined, the board configuration must define several 2739 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2740 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2741 2742 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2743 2744 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2745 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2746 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2747 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2748 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2749 2750 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2751 2752 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2753 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2754 2755 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT 2756 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. 2757 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ 2758 2759- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2760 2761 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2762 2763 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2764 2765 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2766 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2767 2768 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2769 2770 Enables support for FPGA family. 2771 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2772 2773 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2774 2775 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2776 2777 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK 2778 2779 Enable support for fpga loadmk command 2780 2781 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP 2782 2783 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream 2784 2785 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP 2786 2787 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream 2788 (Xilinx only) 2789 2790 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2791 2792 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2793 2794 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2795 2796 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2797 status by the configuration function. This option 2798 will require a board or device specific function to 2799 be written. 2800 2801 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2802 2803 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2804 configuration driver. 2805 2806 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2807 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2808 2809 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2810 2811 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2812 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2813 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2814 indicated a CRC error). 2815 2816 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2817 2818 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert 2819 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II 2820 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2821 ms. 2822 2823 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2824 2825 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during 2826 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2827 2828 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2829 2830 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2831 200 ms. 2832 2833- Configuration Management: 2834 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET 2835 2836 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary 2837 with a special header) as build targets. By defining 2838 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this 2839 special image will be automatically built upon calling 2840 make / MAKEALL. 2841 2842 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2843 2844 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2845 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2846 2847- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2848 2849 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2850 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2851 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2852 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2853 protects these variables from casual modification by 2854 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2855 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2856 change this behaviour: 2857 2858 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2859 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2860 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2861 these parameters. 2862 2863 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the 2864 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2865 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2866 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2867 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2868 read-only.] 2869 2870 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2871 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2872 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2873 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2874 2875- Protected RAM: 2876 CONFIG_PRAM 2877 2878 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2879 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2880 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2881 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2882 this default value by defining an environment 2883 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2884 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2885 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2886 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2887 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2888 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2889 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2890 2891 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2892 saveenv 2893 2894 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2895 either, which results in a memory region that will 2896 not be affected by reboots. 2897 2898 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2899 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2900 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2901 following board configurations are known to be 2902 "pRAM-clean": 2903 2904 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2905 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2906 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2907 2908- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2909 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2910 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2911 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2912 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2913 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2914 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2915 2916- Error Recovery: 2917 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2918 2919 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2920 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2921 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2922 system where you want the system to reboot 2923 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2924 useful during development since you can try to debug 2925 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2926 2927 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2928 2929 This variable defines the number of retries for 2930 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2931 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2932 default value of 5 is used. 2933 2934 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2935 2936 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2937 2938 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2939 2940 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2941 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2942 try longer timeout such as 2943 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2944 2945- Command Interpreter: 2946 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2947 2948 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2949 2950 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2951 2952 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2953 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2954 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2955 2956 Note: 2957 2958 In the current implementation, the local variables 2959 space and global environment variables space are 2960 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2961 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2962 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2963 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2964 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2965 2966 Global environment variables are those you use 2967 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2968 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2969 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2970 2971 To store commands and special characters in a 2972 variable, please use double quotation marks 2973 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2974 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2975 symbols. 2976 2977- Command Line Editing and History: 2978 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2979 2980 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2981 command line input operations 2982 2983- Default Environment: 2984 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2985 2986 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2987 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2988 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2989 2990 For example, place something like this in your 2991 board's config file: 2992 2993 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2994 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2995 "myvar2=value2\0" 2996 2997 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2998 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2999 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 3000 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 3001 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 3002 You better know what you are doing here. 3003 3004 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 3005 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 3006 the environment like the "source" command or the 3007 boot command first. 3008 3009 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 3010 3011 Define this in order to add variables describing the 3012 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 3013 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 3014 3015 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 3016 3017 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 3018 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 3019 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 3020 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 3021 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 3022 3023 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 3024 3025 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 3026 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 3027 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 3028 3029 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 3030 3031 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 3032 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 3033 that so that the environment is not available until 3034 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 3035 this is instead controlled by the value of 3036 /config/load-environment. 3037 3038- Parallel Flash support: 3039 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH 3040 3041 Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR 3042 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR 3043 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have 3044 parallel flash. 3045 3046 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers 3047 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be 3048 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the 3049 flash API (see include/flash.h). 3050 3051- DataFlash Support: 3052 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 3053 3054 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 3055 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 3056 commands cp, md... 3057 3058- Serial Flash support 3059 CONFIG_CMD_SF 3060 3061 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 3062 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 3063 3064 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 3065 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 3066 commands. 3067 3068 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 3069 to handle the common case when only a single serial 3070 flash is present on the system. 3071 3072 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 3073 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 3074 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 3075 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 3076 3077 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 3078 3079 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 3080 test ('sf test'). 3081 3082 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 3083 3084 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 3085 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 3086 3087 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories 3088 3089 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash 3090 memories can be connected with a given cs line. 3091 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections. 3092 3093 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_MTD spi-flash MTD layer 3094 3095 Define this option to use mtd support for spi flash layer, this 3096 adapter is for translating mtd_read/mtd_write commands into 3097 spi_flash_read/spi_flash_write commands. It is not intended to 3098 use it within sf_cmd or the SPI flash subsystem. Such an adapter 3099 is needed for subsystems like UBI which can only operate on top 3100 of the MTD layer. 3101 3102- SystemACE Support: 3103 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 3104 3105 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 3106 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 3107 of the chip must also be defined in the 3108 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 3109 3110 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 3111 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 3112 3113 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 3114 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 3115 3116- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 3117 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 3118 3119 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 3120 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 3121 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 3122 number generator is used. 3123 3124 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 3125 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 3126 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 3127 3128 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 3129 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 3130 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 3131 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 3132 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 3133 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 3134 but sometimes that is not allowed. 3135 3136- Hashing support: 3137 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 3138 3139 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 3140 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 3141 3142 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 3143 3144 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 3145 size a little. 3146 3147 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1 3148 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. 3149 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using 3150 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. 3151 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration 3152 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing. 3153 This affects the 'hash' command and also the 3154 hash_lookup_algo() function. 3155 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables 3156 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing. 3157 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing 3158 is performed in hardware. 3159 3160 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 3161 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 3162 3163- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 3164 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 3165 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 3166 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 3167 3168 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 3169 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 3170 a boot from specific media. 3171 3172 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 3173 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 3174 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 3175 will set it back to normal. This command currently 3176 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 3177 3178- Signing support: 3179 CONFIG_RSA 3180 3181 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 3182 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information. 3183 3184 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using 3185 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this 3186 library to function. 3187 3188 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 3189 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into 3190 mkimage irrespective of this option. 3191 3192- bootcount support: 3193 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 3194 3195 This enables the bootcounter support, see: 3196 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 3197 3198 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE 3199 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards. 3200 CONFIG_BLACKFIN 3201 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards. 3202 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX 3203 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards. 3204 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM 3205 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM 3206 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C 3207 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device. 3208 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address 3209 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for 3210 the bootcounter. 3211 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len 3212 3213- Show boot progress: 3214 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 3215 3216 Defining this option allows to add some board- 3217 specific code (calling a user-provided function 3218 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 3219 the system's boot progress on some display (for 3220 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 3221 the following checkpoints are implemented: 3222 3223 3224Legacy uImage format: 3225 3226 Arg Where When 3227 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 3228 -1

3378 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3379 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot. 3380 3381 Default: 3382 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined. 3383 3384 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY 3385 disable the legacy image format 3386 3387 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is 3388 enabled per default for backward compatibility. 3389 3390- FIT image support: 3391 CONFIG_FIT 3392 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 3393 3394 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 3395 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 3396 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 3397 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 3398 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 3399 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 3400 3401 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 3402 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 3403 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If 3404 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive 3405 hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it. 3406 See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 3407 3408 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required 3409 signature check the legacy image format is default 3410 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support 3411 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3412 3413 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256 3414 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size. 3415 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled 3416 with this option. 3417 3418- Standalone program support: 3419 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 3420 3421 This option defines a board specific value for the 3422 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 3423 overwriting the architecture dependent default 3424 settings. 3425 3426- Frame Buffer Address: 3427 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 3428 3429 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 3430 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 3431 when using a graphics controller has separate video 3432 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 3433 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 3434 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 3435 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 3436 configured panel size. 3437 3438 Please see board_init_f function. 3439 3440- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 3441 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 3442 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 3443 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 3444 3445 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 3446 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 3447 3448- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 3449 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3450 3451 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3452 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3453 3454 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3455 3456 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3457 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3458 3459- UBI support 3460 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3461 3462 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3463 with the UBI flash translation layer 3464 3465 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3466 3467 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3468 3469 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3470 warnings and errors enabled. 3471 3472 3473 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD 3474 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest 3475 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks 3476 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing 3477 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase 3478 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. 3479 3480 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and 3481 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. 3482 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock 3483 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., 3484 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). 3485 3486 default: 4096 3487 3488 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT 3489 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI 3490 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the 3491 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR 3492 flash), this value is ignored. 3493 3494 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM 3495 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. 3496 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks 3497 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", 3498 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total 3499 count of eraseblocks on the chip). 3500 3501 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to 3502 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks 3503 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire 3504 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means 3505 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad 3506 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same 3507 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a 3508 partition. 3509 3510 default: 20 3511 3512 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP 3513 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device 3514 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it 3515 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. 3516 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach 3517 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where 3518 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install 3519 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter 3520 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note 3521 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations 3522 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap 3523 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. 3524 3525 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT 3526 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images 3527 without a fastmap. 3528 default: 0 3529 3530- UBIFS support 3531 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3532 3533 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3534 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3535 3536 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3537 3538 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3539 3540 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3541 warnings and errors enabled. 3542 3543- SPL framework 3544 CONFIG_SPL 3545 Enable building of SPL globally. 3546 3547 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3548 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3549 3550 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3551 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3552 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3553 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3554 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3555 must not be both defined at the same time. 3556 3557 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3558 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3559 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3560 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3561 not exceed it. 3562 3563 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3564 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3565 3566 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3567 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3568 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3569 3570 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3571 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3572 3573 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3574 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3575 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3576 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3577 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3578 must not be both defined at the same time. 3579 3580 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3581 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3582 3583 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE 3584 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has 3585 loaded does not have a signature. 3586 Defining this is useful when code which loads images 3587 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors 3588 will be caught. 3589 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will 3590 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad, 3591 and thus should be skipped silently. 3592 3593 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3594 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3595 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3596 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3597 3598 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3599 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3600 3601 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3602 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3603 3604 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3605 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3606 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3607 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3608 3609 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT 3610 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL. 3611 See also: doc/README.falcon 3612 3613 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3614 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3615 about the running system. 3616 3617 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3618 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3619 3620 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3621 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3622 3623 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3624 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3625 3626 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3627 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3628 3629 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3630 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3631 3632 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3633 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3634 3635 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3636 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3637 Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3638 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3639 3640 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION 3641 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 3642 used in raw mode 3643 3644 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3645 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3646 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3647 3648 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3649 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3650 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3651 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3652 (for falcon mode) 3653 3654 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION 3655 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 3656 used in fs mode 3657 3658 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3659 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3660 3661 CONFIG_SPL_EXT_SUPPORT 3662 Support for EXT filesystem in SPL binary 3663 3664 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3665 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem 3666 3667 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3668 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3669 from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3670 3671 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3672 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3673 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3674 3675 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3676 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3677 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3678 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3679 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3680 3681 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE 3682 Avoid SPL relocation 3683 3684 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3685 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3686 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3687 3688 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3689 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3690 3691 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3692 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3693 3694 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3695 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3696 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3697 3698 CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT 3699 Support for the MTD subsystem within SPL. Useful for 3700 environment on NAND support within SPL. 3701 3702 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY 3703 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only 3704 if you need to save space. 3705 3706 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3707 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3708 drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3709 3710 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3711 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3712 SPL binary. 3713 3714 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3715 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3716 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3717 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3718 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3719 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3720 to read U-Boot 3721 3722 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT 3723 Add support NAND boot 3724 3725 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3726 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3727 3728 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3729 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3730 3731 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3732 Size of image to load 3733 3734 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3735 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3736 3737 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3738 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3739 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms. 3740 3741 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3742 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3743 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3744 3745 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3746 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3747 3748 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3749 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3750 3751 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3752 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3753 3754 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3755 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3756 3757 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3758 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3759 3760 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3761 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3762 3763 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3764 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3765 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3766 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3767 3768 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3769 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3770 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3771 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3772 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3773 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3774 3775 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3776 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3777 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3778 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3779 3780 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3781 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3782 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3783 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3784 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3785 3786- TPL framework 3787 CONFIG_TPL 3788 Enable building of TPL globally. 3789 3790 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3791 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3792 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3793 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3794 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3795 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3796 3797Modem Support: 3798-------------- 3799 3800[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3801 3802- Modem support enable: 3803 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3804 3805- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3806 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3807 3808- Modem debug support: 3809 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3810 3811 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3812 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3813 3814- Interrupt support (PPC): 3815 3816 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3817 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3818 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3819 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3820 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3821 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3822 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3823 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3824 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3825 general timer_interrupt(). 3826 3827- General: 3828 3829 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3830 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3831 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3832 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3833 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3834 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3835 initialization. 3836 3837 If there are no modem init strings in the 3838 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3839 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3840 suppressed, though. 3841 3842 See also: doc/README.Modem 3843 3844Board initialization settings: 3845------------------------------ 3846 3847During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3848to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3849before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3850following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3851architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3852typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3853 3854- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3855- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3856- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3857- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3858 3859Configuration Settings: 3860----------------------- 3861 3862- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. 3863 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. 3864 3865- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3866 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3867 3868- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3869 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3870 3871- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3872 prompt for user input. 3873 3874- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3875 3876- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3877 3878- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3879 3880- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3881 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3882 booted 3883 3884- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3885 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3886 3887- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3888 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3889 3890- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3891 If the board specific function 3892 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3893 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3894 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3895 3896- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3897 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3898 3899- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3900 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3901 3902- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3903 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3904 simple memory test. 3905 3906- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3907 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3908 3909- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3910 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3911 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3912 3913- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3914 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3915 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3916 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3917 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3918 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3919 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3920 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3921 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3922 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3923 3924 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3925 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3926 be touched. 3927 3928 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3929 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3930 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3931 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3932 problems. 3933 3934- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3935 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3936 3937- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3938 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3939 3940- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3941 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3942 Cogent motherboard) 3943 3944- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3945 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3946 3947- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3948 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3949 make config files to be same as the text base address 3950 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3951 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3952 3953- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3954 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3955 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3956 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3957 flash sector. 3958 3959- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3960 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3961 3962- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN 3963 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If 3964 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation 3965 will become available before relocation. The address is just 3966 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make 3967 space. 3968 3969 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses 3970 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() 3971 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. 3972 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when 3973 U-Boot relocates itself. 3974 3975 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox 3976 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. 3977 3978- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE 3979 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those 3980 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is 3981 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START). 3982 3983- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY: 3984 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be 3985 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped 3986 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would 3987 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For 3988 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the 3989 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed 3990 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding 3991 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e. 3992 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the 3993 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of 3994 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has 3995 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can 3996 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for 3997 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g. 3998 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes). 3999 4000 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present. 4001 4002- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 4003 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 4004 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 4005 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 4006 to adjust this setting to your needs. 4007 4008- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 4009 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 4010 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 4011 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 4012 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 4013 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 4014 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 4015 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 4016 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 4017 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 4018 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 4019 4020- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 4021 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 4022 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 4023 is enabled. 4024 4025- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 4026 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 4027 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 4028 4029- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 4030 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 4031 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 4032 4033- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 4034 Max number of Flash memory banks 4035 4036- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 4037 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 4038 4039- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 4040 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 4041 4042- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 4043 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 4044 4045- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 4046 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 4047 4048- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 4049 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 4050 4051- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 4052 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 4053 instead of U-Boot software protection. 4054 4055- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 4056 4057 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 4058 without this option such a download has to be 4059 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 4060 copy from RAM to flash. 4061 4062 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 4063 you can check if the download worked before you erase 4064 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 4065 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 4066 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 4067 4068- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 4069 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 4070 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 4071 4072- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 4073 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 4074 in the drivers directory 4075 4076- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 4077 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 4078 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 4079 to the MTD layer. 4080 4081- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 4082 Use buffered writes to flash. 4083 4084- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 4085 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 4086 write commands. 4087 4088- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 4089 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 4090 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 4091 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 4092 optionally available. 4093 4094- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 4095 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 4096 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 4097 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 4098 4099- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 4100 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 4101 against the source after the write operation. An error message 4102 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 4103 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 4104 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 4105 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 4106 this option if you really know what you are doing. 4107 4108- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 4109 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 4110 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 4111 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 4112 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 4113 on high Ethernet traffic. 4114 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 4115 4116- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 4117 4118 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 4119 internally to store the environment settings. The default 4120 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 4121 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 4122 lib/hashtable.c for details. 4123 4124- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4125- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4126 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 4127 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 4128 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 4129 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 4130 4131 The format of the list is: 4132 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 4133 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c] 4134 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute] 4135 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 4136 list = entry[,list] 4137 4138 The type attributes are: 4139 s - String (default) 4140 d - Decimal 4141 x - Hexadecimal 4142 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 4143 i - IP address 4144 m - MAC address 4145 4146 The access attributes are: 4147 a - Any (default) 4148 r - Read-only 4149 o - Write-once 4150 c - Change-default 4151 4152 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4153 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 4154 environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4155 4156 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4157 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 4158 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 4159 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 4160 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 4161 ".flags" variable. 4162 4163 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a 4164 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same 4165 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable. 4166 4167- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 4168 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 4169 access flags. 4170 4171- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 4172 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 4173 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 4174 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 4175 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 4176 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 4177 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig). 4178 If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report 4179 the problem and send patches! 4180 4181- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 4182 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 4183 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 4184 the value can be calculated on a given board. 4185 4186- CONFIG_USE_STDINT 4187 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this 4188 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when 4189 building U-Boot to enable this. 4190 4191The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 4192of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 4193following configurations: 4194 4195- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 4196 4197 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 4198 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 4199 4200- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 4201 4202 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 4203 4204 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 4205 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 4206 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 4207 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 4208 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 4209 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 4210 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 4211 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 4212 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 4213 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 4214 between U-Boot and the environment. 4215 4216 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4217 4218 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 4219 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 4220 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 4221 for this sector is given here. 4222 4223 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 4224 4225 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4226 4227 This is just another way to specify the start address of 4228 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 4229 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 4230 4231 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4232 4233 Size of the sector containing the environment. 4234 4235 4236 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 4237 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 4238 the environment. 4239 4240 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4241 4242 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 4243 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 4244 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 4245 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 4246 4247 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 4248 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 4249 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 4250 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 4251 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 4252 updating the environment in flash makes it always 4253 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 4254 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 4255 RAM, your target system will be dead. 4256 4257 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 4258 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 4259 4260 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 4261 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 4262 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 4263 a "saveenv" operation. 4264 4265BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 4266source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 4267accordingly! 4268 4269 4270- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 4271 4272 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 4273 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 4274 environment. 4275 4276 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4277 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4278 4279 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 4280 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 4281 can just be read and written to, without any special 4282 provision. 4283 4284BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 4285in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the 4286console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 4287U-Boot will hang. 4288 4289Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 4290environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 4291keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 4292to save the current settings. 4293 4294 4295- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 4296 4297 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 4298 device and a driver for it. 4299 4300 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4301 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4302 4303 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4304 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 4305 4306 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 4307 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 4308 The default address is zero. 4309 4310 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS: 4311 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device. 4312 4313 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 4314 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 4315 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 4316 would require six bits. 4317 4318 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 4319 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 4320 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 4321 4322 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 4323 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 4324 that this is NOT the chip address length! 4325 4326 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 4327 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 4328 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 4329 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 4330 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 4331 byte chips. 4332 4333 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 4334 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 4335 in the chip address. 4336 4337 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 4338 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 4339 4340 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 4341 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 4342 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 4343 4344 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 4345 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 4346 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 4347 EEPROM. For example: 4348 4349 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 4350 4351 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 4352 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 4353 4354- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 4355 4356 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 4357 want to use for the environment. 4358 4359 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4360 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4361 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4362 4363 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 4364 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 4365 at the specified address. 4366 4367- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH: 4368 4369 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you 4370 want to use for the environment. 4371 4372 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4373 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4374 4375 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4376 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4377 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4378 4379 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4380 4381 Define the SPI flash's sector size. 4382 4383 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4384 4385 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4386 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4387 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4388 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4389 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4390 4391 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional): 4392 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional): 4393 4394 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0. 4395 4396 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional): 4397 4398 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz. 4399 4400 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional): 4401 4402 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3. 4403 4404- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 4405 4406 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 4407 want to use for the local device's environment. 4408 4409 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4410 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4411 4412 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 4413 environment area within the remote memory space. The 4414 local device can get the environment from remote memory 4415 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 4416 4417BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 4418"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 4419environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 4420but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 4421 4422- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 4423 4424 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 4425 for the environment. 4426 4427 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4428 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4429 4430 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4431 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4432 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4433 4434 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4435 4436 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4437 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4438 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4439 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4440 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4441 4442 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 4443 4444 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 4445 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 4446 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 4447 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 4448 the range to be avoided. 4449 4450 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 4451 4452 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 4453 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 4454 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 4455 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 4456 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 4457 4458- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 4459 4460 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 4461 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 4462 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4463 4464- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 4465 4466 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 4467 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 4468 accesses, which is important on NAND. 4469 4470 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 4471 4472 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 4473 4474 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 4475 4476 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 4477 environment in. 4478 4479 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 4480 4481 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 4482 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 4483 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 4484 4485 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 4486 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 4487 4488 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 4489 when storing the env in UBI. 4490 4491- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT: 4492 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment. 4493 4494 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE: 4495 4496 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device. 4497 4498 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART: 4499 4500 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can 4501 be as following: 4502 4503 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1) 4504 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no 4505 partition table. 4506 - "D:0": device D. 4507 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition 4508 table, or the whole device D if has no partition 4509 table. 4510 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set. 4511 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no 4512 partition table then means device D. 4513 4514 - FAT_ENV_FILE: 4515 4516 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the 4517 environment. 4518 4519 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE: 4520 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file. 4521 4522- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 4523 4524 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 4525 environment. 4526 4527 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 4528 4529 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 4530 4531 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 4532 4533 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 4534 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 4535 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 4536 4537 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4538 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4539 4540 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4541 area within the specified MMC device. 4542 4543 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 4544 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 4545 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 4546 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 4547 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 4548 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 4549 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 4550 4551 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 4552 MMC sector boundary. 4553 4554 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4555 4556 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 4557 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 4558 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 4559 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 4560 4561 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 4562 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 4563 4564 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 4565 an MMC sector boundary. 4566 4567 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 4568 4569 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 4570 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 4571 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4572 4573- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 4574 4575 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 4576 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 4577 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 4578 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 4579 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 4580 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 4581 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 4582 4583Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 4584has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 4585created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 4586until then to read environment variables. 4587 4588The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 4589is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 4590with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 4591necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 4592"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 4593have any device yet where we could complain.] 4594 4595Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 4596the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 4597use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 4598 4599- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 4600 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 4601 4602 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 4603 also needs to be defined. 4604 4605- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 4606 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 4607 4608- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 4609 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 4610 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 4611 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 4612 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 4613 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 4614 4615- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 4616 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 4617 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 4618 to do this. 4619 4620- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 4621 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 4622 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 4623 present. 4624 4625- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: 4626 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the 4627 build system checks that the actual size does not 4628 exceed it. 4629 4630Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 4631--------------------------------------------------- 4632 4633- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 4634 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 4635 4636- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 4637 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 4638 4639 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 4640 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 4641 the IMMR register after a reset. 4642 4643- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 4644 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 4645 PowerPC SOCs. 4646 4647- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 4648 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 4649 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 4650 4651 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 4652 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 4653 4654- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 4655 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 4656 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 4657 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 4658 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 4659 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 4660 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 4661 4662 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 4663 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 4664 4665- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 4666 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 4667 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4668 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4669 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4670 4671- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4672 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4673 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4674 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4675 4676- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4677 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4678 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4679 4680- Floppy Disk Support: 4681 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4682 4683 the default drive number (default value 0) 4684 4685 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4686 4687 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4688 (default value 1) 4689 4690 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4691 4692 defines the offset of register from address. It 4693 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4694 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4695 4696 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4697 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4698 default value. 4699 4700 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4701 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4702 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4703 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent 4704 initializations. 4705 4706- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4707 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4708 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4709 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4710 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4711 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4712 is required. 4713 4714- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4715 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4716 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4717 4718- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4719 4720 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4721 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4722 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4723 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4724 will become available only after programming the 4725 memory controller and running certain initialization 4726 sequences. 4727 4728 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4729 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4730 - MPC824X: data cache 4731 - PPC4xx: data cache 4732 4733- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4734 4735 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4736 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4737 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4738 data is located at the end of the available space 4739 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4740 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4741 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4742 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4743 4744 Note: 4745 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4746 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4747 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4748 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4749 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4750 4751- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4752 4753- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4754 4755- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4756 4757- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4758 4759- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4760 4761- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4762 4763- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4764 SDRAM timing 4765 4766- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4767 periodic timer for refresh 4768 4769- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4770 4771- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4772 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4773 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4774 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4775 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4776 4777- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4778 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4779 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4780 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4781 4782- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4783 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4784 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4785 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4786 4787- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4788 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4789 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4790 4791- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4792 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4793 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4794 4795- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4796 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4797 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4798 4799- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4800 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4801 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4802 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4803 4804- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4805 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4806 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4807 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4808 cpm_8260.h. 4809 4810- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4811 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4812 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4813 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4814 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4815 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4816 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4817 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4818 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4819 4820- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4821 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4822 required. 4823 4824- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4825 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses. 4826 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4827 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4828 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4829 by coreboot or similar. 4830 4831- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4832 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4833 4834- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4835 Chip has SRIO or not 4836 4837- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4838 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4839 4840- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4841 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4842 4843- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4844 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4845 4846- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4847 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4848 4849- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4850 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4851 4852- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4853 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4854 4855- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4856 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4857 a 16 bit bus. 4858 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4859 Example of drivers that use it: 4860 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4861 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4862 4863- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4864 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4865 a default value will be used. 4866 4867- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4868 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4869 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4870 4871 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4872 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4873 4874- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4875 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4876 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4877 to something your driver can deal with. 4878 4879- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4880 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4881 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4882 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4883 header files or board specific files. 4884 4885- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4886 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4887 4888- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH 4889 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers. 4890 4891- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST 4892 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers. 4893 4894- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4895 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4896 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4897 4898- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4899 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4900 4901- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4902 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4903 to the given FEC; i. e. 4904 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4905 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4906 4907 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4908 4909- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4910 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4911 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4912 4913- CONFIG_RMII 4914 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4915 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4916 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4917 4918- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4919 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4920 The syntax is: 4921 4922 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4923 4924 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4925 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4926 area should have. 4927 4928- CONFIG_LOOPW 4929 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4930 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4931 4932- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4933 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4934 "md/mw" commands. 4935 Examples: 4936 4937 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4938 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4939 4940 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4941 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4942 4943 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4944 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4945 4946- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4947 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4948 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4949 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4950 relocate itself into RAM. 4951 4952 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4953 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4954 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4955 these initializations itself. 4956 4957- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4958 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4959 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4960 compiling a NAND SPL. 4961 4962- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4963 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4964 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4965 It is loaded by the SPL. 4966 4967- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4968 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4969 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4970 previous 4k of the .text section. 4971 4972- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4973 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4974 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4975 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4976 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4977 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4978 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4979 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4980 4981- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4982 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4983 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4984 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4985 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4986 4987- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4988 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4989 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4990 4991- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4992 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4993 4994 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4995 4996- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC: 4997 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms 4998 4999- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE 5000 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver 5001 driver that uses this: 5002 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c 5003 5004Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 5005----------------------------------- 5006 5007The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 5008loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 5009This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 5010are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 5011within that device. 5012 5013- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR 5014 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The 5015 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 5016 is also specified. 5017 5018- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR 5019 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The 5020 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 5021 is also specified. 5022 5023- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 5024 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 5025 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 5026 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 5027 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 5028 5029- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 5030 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 5031 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 5032 virtual address in NOR flash. 5033 5034- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 5035 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 5036 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 5037 5038- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 5039 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 5040 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 5041 5042- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 5043 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 5044 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 5045 5046- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 5047 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 5048 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 5049 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 5050 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 5051 master's memory space. 5052 5053Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: 5054--------------------------------------------------------- 5055The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of 5056"firmware". 5057This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 5058are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 5059within that device. 5060 5061- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET 5062 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. 5063 5064- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR 5065 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 5066 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro 5067 is also specified. 5068 5069- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH 5070 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 5071 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 5072 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 5073 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 5074 5075- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR 5076 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 5077 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the 5078 virtual address in NOR flash. 5079 5080Building the Software: 5081====================== 5082 5083Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 5084and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 5085all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 5086(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 5087recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 5088which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 5089 5090If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 5091have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 5092you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 5093Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 5094necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 5095 5096 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 5097 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 5098 5099Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 5100 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 5101 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 5102 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 5103 5104 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 5105 5106 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 5107 be executed on computers running Windows. 5108 5109U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 5110sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 5111is done by typing: 5112 5113 make NAME_defconfig 5114 5115where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- 5116rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 5117 5118Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 5119 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 5120 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 5121 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 5122 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 5123 5124 make TQM823L_defconfig 5125 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 5126 5127 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig 5128 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 5129 5130 etc. 5131 5132 5133Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 5134images ready for download to / installation on your system: 5135 5136- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 5137- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 5138- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 5139 5140By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 5141in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 5142this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 5143 51441. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 5145 5146 make O=/tmp/build distclean 5147 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig 5148 make O=/tmp/build all 5149 51502. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location: 5151 5152 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build 5153 make distclean 5154 make NAME_defconfig 5155 make all 5156 5157Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment 5158variable. 5159 5160 5161Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 5162for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 5163native "make". 5164 5165 5166If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 5167to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 5168steps: 5169 51701. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 5171 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 5172 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 51732. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 5174 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 5175 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 51763. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 5177 your board 51783. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 5179 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 51804. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. 51815. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 5182 to be installed on your target system. 51836. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 5184 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 5185 5186 5187Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 5188============================================================== 5189 5190If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 5191or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 5192provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 5193the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 5194official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 5195 5196But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 5197cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 5198the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 5199just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 5200for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 5201select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 5202environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 5203you can type 5204 5205 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5206 5207or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 5208 5209 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 5210 5211When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 5212U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 5213setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 5214built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 5215<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 5216location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 5217variable. For example: 5218 5219 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 5220 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 5221 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5222 5223With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 5224log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 5225during the whole build process. 5226 5227 5228See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 5229 5230 5231Monitor Commands - Overview: 5232============================ 5233 5234go - start application at address 'addr' 5235run - run commands in an environment variable 5236bootm - boot application image from memory 5237bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 5238bootz - boot zImage from memory 5239tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 5240 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 5241 (and eventually "gatewayip") 5242tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 5243rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 5244diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 5245loads - load S-Record file over serial line 5246loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 5247md - memory display 5248mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 5249nm - memory modify (constant address) 5250mw - memory write (fill) 5251cp - memory copy 5252cmp - memory compare 5253crc32 - checksum calculation 5254i2c - I2C sub-system 5255sspi - SPI utility commands 5256base - print or set address offset 5257printenv- print environment variables 5258setenv - set environment variables 5259saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 5260protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 5261erase - erase FLASH memory 5262flinfo - print FLASH memory information 5263nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 5264bdinfo - print Board Info structure 5265iminfo - print header information for application image 5266coninfo - print console devices and informations 5267ide - IDE sub-system 5268loop - infinite loop on address range 5269loopw - infinite write loop on address range 5270mtest - simple RAM test 5271icache - enable or disable instruction cache 5272dcache - enable or disable data cache 5273reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 5274echo - echo args to console 5275version - print monitor version 5276help - print online help 5277? - alias for 'help' 5278 5279 5280Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 5281======================================== 5282 5283TODO. 5284 5285For now: just type "help <command>". 5286 5287 5288Environment Variables: 5289====================== 5290 5291U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 5292can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 5293 5294Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 5295"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 5296without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 5297environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 5298working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 5299environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 5300 5301Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 5302 5303List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 5304 5305 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 5306 5307 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 5308 5309 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 5310 5311 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 5312 5313 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 5314 5315 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5316 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5317 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 5318 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 5319 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 5320 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 5321 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 5322 bootm_mapsize. 5323 5324 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 5325 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 5326 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 5327 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 5328 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 5329 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 5330 used otherwise. 5331 5332 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5333 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5334 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 5335 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 5336 environment variable. 5337 5338 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 5339 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 5340 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 5341 5342 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 5343 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 5344 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 5345 load any image using TFTP 5346 5347 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 5348 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 5349 be automatically started (by internally calling 5350 "bootm") 5351 5352 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 5353 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 5354 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 5355 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 5356 data. 5357 5358 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 5359 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 5360 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 5361 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 5362 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 5363 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 5364 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 5365 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 5366 access it during the boot procedure. 5367 5368 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 5369 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 5370 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 5371 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 5372 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 5373 must be accessible by the kernel. 5374 5375 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 5376 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 5377 defined. 5378 5379 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 5380 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 5381 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 5382 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 5383 it must be saved and board must be reset. 5384 5385 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 5386 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 5387 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 5388 is usually what you want since it allows for 5389 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 5390 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 5391 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 5392 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 5393 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 5394 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 5395 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 5396 5397 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 5398 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 5399 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 5400 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 5401 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 5402 12 MB as well - this can be done with 5403 5404 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 5405 5406 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 5407 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 5408 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 5409 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 5410 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 5411 boot time on your system, but requires that this 5412 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 5413 5414 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5415 5416 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 5417 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 5418 5419 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 5420 5421 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5422 5423 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 5424 5425 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 5426 5427 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 5428 5429 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 5430 5431 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 5432 For example you can do the following 5433 5434 => setenv ethact FEC 5435 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 5436 => setenv ethact SCC 5437 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 5438 5439 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 5440 available network interfaces. 5441 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 5442 5443 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 5444 either succeed or fail without retrying. 5445 When set to "once" the network operation will 5446 fail when all the available network interfaces 5447 are tried once without success. 5448 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 5449 themselves. 5450 5451 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 5452 5453 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by 5454 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 5455 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 5456 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 5457 is silent. 5458 5459 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 5460 UDP source port. 5461 5462 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 5463 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 5464 5465 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 5466 we use the TFTP server's default block size 5467 5468 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 5469 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 5470 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 5471 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 5472 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 5473 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 5474 with unreliable TFTP servers. 5475 5476 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 5477 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 5478 VLAN tagged frames. 5479 5480The following image location variables contain the location of images 5481used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 5482not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 5483variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 5484server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 5485loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 5486flash or offset in NAND flash. 5487 5488*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 5489boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some 5490boards use these variables for other purposes. 5491 5492Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 5493----- --------- ----------- -------------- 5494u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 5495Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 5496device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 5497ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 5498 5499The following environment variables may be used and automatically 5500updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 5501depending the information provided by your boot server: 5502 5503 bootfile - see above 5504 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 5505 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 5506 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 5507 hostname - Target hostname 5508 ipaddr - see above 5509 netmask - Subnet Mask 5510 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 5511 serverip - see above 5512 5513 5514There are two special Environment Variables: 5515 5516 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 5517 as type string and/or serial number 5518 ethaddr - Ethernet address 5519 5520These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 5521the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 5522once they have been set once. 5523 5524 5525Further special Environment Variables: 5526 5527 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 5528 with the "version" command. This variable is 5529 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 5530 5531 5532Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 5533only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 5534 5535 5536Callback functions for environment variables: 5537--------------------------------------------- 5538 5539For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 5540when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to 5541be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 5542deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 5543effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 5544 5545The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 5546U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 5547 5548These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 5549static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 5550in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 5551associations. The list must be in the following format: 5552 5553 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 5554 list = entry[,list] 5555 5556If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 5557Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 5558 5559Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 5560with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 5561override any association in the static list. You can define 5562CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 5563".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 5564 5565If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a 5566regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to 5567the same callback without explicitly listing them all out. 5568 5569 5570Command Line Parsing: 5571===================== 5572 5573There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 5574the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 5575 5576Old, simple command line parser: 5577-------------------------------- 5578 5579- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 5580- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 5581- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 5582- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 5583 for example: 5584 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 5585- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 5586 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 5587 5588Hush shell: 5589----------- 5590 5591- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 5592 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 5593 until...do...done, ... 5594- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 5595 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 5596 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 5597 command 5598 5599General rules: 5600-------------- 5601 5602(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 5603 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 5604 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 5605 executed anyway. 5606 5607(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 5608 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 5609 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 5610 variables are not executed. 5611 5612Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 5613======================================= 5614 5615Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 5616such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 5617"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 5618 5619Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 5620MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 5621"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 5622 5623If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 5624in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 5625ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 5626variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 5627 5628o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 5629 environment, the SROM's address is used. 5630 5631o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 5632 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 5633 used. 5634 5635o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 5636 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 5637 5638o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 5639 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 5640 warning is printed. 5641 5642o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 5643 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case 5644 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used. 5645 5646If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 5647will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 5648may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 5649The naming convention is as follows: 5650"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 5651 5652Image Formats: 5653============== 5654 5655U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 5656images in two formats: 5657 5658New uImage format (FIT) 5659----------------------- 5660 5661Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 5662to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 5663components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 5664SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 5665 5666 5667Old uImage format 5668----------------- 5669 5670Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 5671preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 5672details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 5673 5674* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 5675 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 5676 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 5677 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 5678 INTEGRITY). 5679* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 5680 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 5681 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 5682* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 5683* Load Address 5684* Entry Point 5685* Image Name 5686* Image Timestamp 5687 5688The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 5689and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 5690CRC32 checksums. 5691 5692 5693Linux Support: 5694============== 5695 5696Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 5697easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 5698U-Boot. 5699 5700U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 5701special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 5702"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 5703instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 5704serves several purposes: 5705 5706- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 5707 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 5708 Flash memory footprint) 5709 5710- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 5711 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 5712 5713- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 5714 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 5715 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5716 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5717 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5718 software is easier now. 5719 5720 5721Linux HOWTO: 5722============ 5723 5724Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5725--------------------------------------- 5726 5727U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5728configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5729(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5730Linux :-). 5731 5732But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5733 5734Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5735include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5736Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5737and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5738as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5739 5740Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. 5741If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there 5742is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See 5743doc/driver-model. 5744 5745 5746Configuring the Linux kernel: 5747----------------------------- 5748 5749No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5750device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5751 5752 5753Building a Linux Image: 5754----------------------- 5755 5756With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5757not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5758"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5759U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5760which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5761100% compatible format. 5762 5763Example: 5764 5765 make TQM850L_defconfig 5766 make oldconfig 5767 make dep 5768 make uImage 5769 5770The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5771encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5772CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5773 5774* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5775 5776* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5777 5778 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5779 -R .note -R .comment \ 5780 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5781 5782* compress the binary image: 5783 5784 gzip -9 linux.bin 5785 5786* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5787 5788 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5789 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5790 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5791 5792 5793The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5794with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5795combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5796byte header containing information about target architecture, 5797operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5798stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5799 5800"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5801print the header information, or to build new images. 5802 5803In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5804contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5805checksum verification: 5806 5807 tools/mkimage -l image 5808 -l ==> list image header information 5809 5810The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5811from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5812 5813 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5814 -n name -d data_file image 5815 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5816 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5817 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5818 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5819 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5820 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5821 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5822 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5823 5824Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5825address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5826kernel version: 5827 5828- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5829- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5830 5831So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5832 5833 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5834 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5835 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5836 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5837 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5838 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5839 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5840 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5841 Load Address: 0x00000000 5842 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5843 5844To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5845 5846 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5847 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5848 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5849 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5850 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5851 Load Address: 0x00000000 5852 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5853 5854NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5855speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5856needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5857need to be uncompressed: 5858 5859 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5860 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5861 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5862 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5863 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5864 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5865 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5866 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5867 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5868 Load Address: 0x00000000 5869 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5870 5871 5872Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5873when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5874 5875 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5876 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5877 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5878 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5879 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5880 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5881 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5882 Load Address: 0x00000000 5883 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5884 5885The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i" 5886option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d" 5887option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file" 5888from the image: 5889 5890 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file 5891 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file' 5892 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5893 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image' 5894 5895 5896Installing a Linux Image: 5897------------------------- 5898 5899To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5900you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5901 5902 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5903 5904The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5905image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5906address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to 5907specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' 5908command. 5909 5910Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the 5911TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): 5912 5913 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF 5914 5915 .......... done 5916 Erased 8 sectors 5917 5918 => loads 40100000 5919 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5920 ~>examples/image.srec 5921 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ... 5922 ... 5923 15989 15990 15991 15992 5924 [file transfer complete] 5925 [connected] 5926 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000 5927 5928 5929You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; 5930this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data 5931corruption happened: 5932 5933 => imi 40100000 5934 5935 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ... 5936 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L 5937 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5938 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB 5939 Load Address: 00000000 5940 Entry Point: 0000000c 5941 Verifying Checksum ...

Usually these programs 6087 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 6088 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 6089 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 6090 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 6091 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 6092 being started. 6093 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 6094 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 6095 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 6096 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 6097 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 6098 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 6099 6100 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 6101 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 6102 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 6103 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 6104 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 6105 a multiple of 4 bytes). 6106 6107 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 6108 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 6109 flash memory. 6110 6111 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 6112 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 6113 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 6114 as command interpreter. 6115 6116Booting the Linux zImage: 6117------------------------- 6118 6119On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 6120using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 6121as the syntax of "bootm" command. 6122 6123Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 6124kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 6125address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 6126format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 6127 6128 6129Standalone HOWTO: 6130================= 6131 6132One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 6133run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 6134U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 6135 6136Two simple examples are included with the sources: 6137 6138"Hello World" Demo: 6139------------------- 6140 6141'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 6142application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 6143It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 6144like that: 6145 6146 => loads 6147 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6148 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 6149 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6150 [file transfer complete] 6151 [connected] 6152 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6153 6154 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 6175controlled by the following keys: 6176 6177 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 6178 b - enable interrupts and start timer 6179 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 6180 q - quit application 6181 6182 => loads 6183 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6184 ~>examples/timer.srec 6185 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6186 [file transfer complete] 6187 [connected] 6188 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6189 6190 => go 40004 6191 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 6192 TIMERS=0xfff00980 6193 Using timer 1 6194 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 6195 6196Hit 'b': 6197 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 6198 Enabling timer 6199Hit '?': 6200 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 6201 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 6202Hit '?': 6203 [q, b, e, ?] . 6204 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 6205Hit '?': 6206 [q, b, e, ?] . 6207 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 6208Hit '?': 6209 [q, b, e, ?] . 6210 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 6211Hit 'e': 6212 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 6213Hit 'q': 6214 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 6215 6216 6217Minicom warning: 6218================ 6219 6220Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 6221"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 6222consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 6223Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 6224especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 6225use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 6226http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 6227for help with kermit. 6228 6229 6230Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 6231configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 6232 6233 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 6250 6251 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 6252 # mkdir powerpc 6253 # ln -s powerpc machine 6254 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 6255 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 6256 6257Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 6258and U-Boot include files. 6259 6260Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 6261stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 6262proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 6263tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 6264meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 6265 6266 6267Implementation Internals: 6268========================= 6269 6270The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 6271implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 6272inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 6273hardware. 6274 6275 6276Initial Stack, Global Data: 6277--------------------------- 6278 6279The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 6280starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 6281system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 6282This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 6283is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 6284at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 6285options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 6286models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 6287MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 6288locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 6289 6290 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 6291 U-Boot mailing list: 6292 6293 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 6294 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 6295 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 6296 ... 6297 6298 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 6299 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 6300 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 6301 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 6302 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 6303 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 6304 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 6305 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 6306 6307 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 6308 is another option for the system designer to use as an 6309 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 6310 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 6311 board designers haven't used it for something that would 6312 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 6313 used. 6314 6315 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 6316 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 6317 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 6318 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 6319 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 6320 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 6321 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 6322 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 6323 you get the config right. 6324 6325 -Chris Hallinan 6326 DS4.COM, Inc. 6327 6328It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 6329code for the initialization procedures: 6330 6331* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 6332 to write it. 6333 6334* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized 6335 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 6336 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 6337 6338* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 6339 that. 6340 6341Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 6342normal global data to share information between the code. But it 6343turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 6344simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 6345functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 6346functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 6347the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 6348place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 6349reserve for this purpose. 6350 6351When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 6352relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 6353GCC's implementation. 6354 6355For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 6356 R1: stack pointer 6357 R2: reserved for system use 6358 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 6359 R5-R10: parameter passing 6360 R13: small data area pointer 6361 R30: GOT pointer 6362 R31: frame pointer 6363 6364 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 6365 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 6366 going back and forth between asm and C) 6367 6368 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 6369 6370 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 6371 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 6372 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 6373 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 6374 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 6375 624 text + 127 data). 6376 6377On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 6378 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 6379 6380 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 6381 6382On ARM, the following registers are used: 6383 6384 R0: function argument word/integer result 6385 R1-R3: function argument word 6386 R9: platform specific 6387 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 6388 R11: argument (frame) pointer 6389 R12: temporary workspace 6390 R13: stack pointer 6391 R14: link register 6392 R15: program counter 6393 6394 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 6395 6396 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 6397 6398On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 6399 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 6400 6401 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 6402 6403 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 6404 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 6405 6406On NDS32, the following registers are used: 6407 6408 R0-R1: argument/return 6409 R2-R5: argument 6410 R15: temporary register for assembler 6411 R16: trampoline register 6412 R28: frame pointer (FP) 6413 R29: global pointer (GP) 6414 R30: link register (LP) 6415 R31: stack pointer (SP) 6416 PC: program counter (PC) 6417 6418 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 6419 6420NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 6421or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 6422 6423Memory Management: 6424------------------ 6425 6426U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 6427MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 6428 6429The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 6430controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 6431memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 6432physical memory banks. 6433 6434U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 6435TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 6436booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 6437to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 6438memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 6439configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 6440Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 6441 6442Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 6443of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 6444 6445So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 6446this: 6447 6448 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 6449 : 6450 0x0000 1FFF 6451 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 6452 : 6453 : 6454 6455 : 6456 : 6457 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 6458 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 6459 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 6460 : 6461 0x00FD FFFF 6462 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 6463 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 6464 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 6465 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 6466 6467 6468System Initialization: 6469---------------------- 6470 6471In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 6472(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 6473configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory. 6474To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 6475To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 6476initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 6477which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 6478part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 6479the caches and the SIU. 6480 6481Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 6482preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 6483(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 6484on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 6485programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 6486simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 6487banks. 6488 6489When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 6490different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 6491bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 64920x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 6493contiguous memory starting from 0. 6494 6495Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 6496and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 6497Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 6498pages, and the final stack is set up. 6499 6500Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 6501until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 6502running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 6503new address in RAM. 6504 6505 6506U-Boot Porting Guide: 6507---------------------- 6508 6509[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 6510list, October 2002] 6511 6512 6513int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 6514{ 6515 sighandler_t no_more_time; 6516 6517 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 6518 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 6519 6520 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 6521 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 6522 return 0; 6523 } 6524 6525 Download latest U-Boot source; 6526 6527 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 6528 6529 if (clueless) 6530 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 6531 6532 while (learning) { 6533 Read the README file in the top level directory; 6534 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 6535 Read applicable doc/*.README; 6536 Read the source, Luke; 6537 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 6538 } 6539 6540 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 6541 Buy a BDI3000; 6542 else 6543 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 6544 6545 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 6546 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 6547 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 6548 } else { 6549 Create your own board support subdirectory; 6550 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 6551 } 6552 Edit new board/<myboard> files 6553 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 6554 6555 while (!accepted) { 6556 while (!running) { 6557 do { 6558 Add / modify source code; 6559 } until (compiles); 6560 Debug; 6561 if (clueless) 6562 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 6563 } 6564 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 6565 if (reasonable critiques) 6566 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 6567 else 6568 Defend code as written; 6569 } 6570 6571 return 0; 6572} 6573 6574void no_more_time (int sig) 6575{ 6576 hire_a_guru(); 6577} 6578 6579 6580Coding Standards: 6581----------------- 6582 6583All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 6584coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 6585"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 6586 6587Source files originating from a different project (for example the 6588MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 6589reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 6590sources. 6591 6592Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 6593Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 6594in your code. 6595 6596Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 6597- remove any trailing white space 6598- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 6599- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 6600- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 6601- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 6602 6603Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 6604with a request to reformat the changes. 6605 6606 6607Submitting Patches: 6608------------------- 6609 6610Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 6611establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 6612may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 6613 6614Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 6615 6616Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 6617see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 6618 6619When you send a patch, please include the following information with 6620it: 6621 6622* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 6623 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 6624 patch actually fixes something. 6625 6626* For new features: a description of the feature and your 6627 implementation. 6628 6629* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 6630 6631* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 6632 6633* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 6634 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 6635 6636* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 6637 document these in the README file. 6638 6639* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 6640 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 6641 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 6642 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 6643 with some other mail clients. 6644 6645 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 6646 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 6647 GNU diff. 6648 6649 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 6650 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 6651 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 6652 affected files). 6653 6654 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 6655 and compressed attachments must not be used. 6656 6657* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 6658 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 6659 6660* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 6661 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 6662 6663 6664Notes: 6665 6666* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 6667 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 6668 for any of the boards. 6669 6670* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 6671 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 6672 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 6673 6674* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 6675 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 6676 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 6677 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 6678 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 6679 modification. 6680 6681* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 6682 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 6683 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 6684 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 6685
