24Summary:
25========
26
27This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
28Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
32
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
34the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
36support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
52
53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
55maintainers.

228Software Configuration:
229=======================
230
231Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
232rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
233
234There are two classes of configuration variables:
235
236* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
237  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
238  "CONFIG_".
239
240* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
241  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
242  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
243  "CONFIG_SYS_".
244
245Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
246identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
247do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
248links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
249as an example here.
250
251
252Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
253---------------------------------------------------
254
255For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
256configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
257
258Example: For a TQM823L module type:
259
260	cd u-boot
261	make TQM823L_config
262
263For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
264e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
265directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
266
267
268Configuration Options:
269----------------------
270
271Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
272such information is kept in a configuration file
273"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
274
275Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
276"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
277
278
279Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
280kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
281build a config tool - later.
282
283
284The following options need to be configured:
285
286- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
287
288- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
289
290- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
291		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
292
293- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
294		Define exactly one of
295		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
296--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
297		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
298		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
299
300- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
301		Define exactly one of
302		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
303
304- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
305		Define one or more of
306		CONFIG_CMA302
307
308- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
309		Define one or more of
310		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
311					  the LCD display every second with
312					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
313
314- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
315		CONFIG_ADSTYPE
316		Possible values are:
317			CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS	- original MPC8260ADS
318			CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS	- MPC8266ADS
319			CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS	- PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
320			CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS	- MPC8272ADS
321
322- Marvell Family Member
323		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
324					  multiple fs option at one time
325					  for marvell soc family
326
327- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
328		Define exactly one of
329		CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
330
331- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
332		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
333					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
334					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
335					  reference PIT/RTC clock
336		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
337					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
338
339- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
340		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
341		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
342		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
343			See doc/README.MPC866
344
345		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
346
347		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
348		of relying on the correctness of the configured
349		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
350		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
351		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
352		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
353
354		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
355
356		Define this option if you want to enable the
357		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
358
359- Intel Monahans options:
360		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
361
362		Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
363		ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
364		frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
365
366		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
367
368		Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
369		ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
370		2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
371		by this value.
372
373- Linux Kernel Interface:
374		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
375
376		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
377		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
378		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
379		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
380		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
381		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
382		Linux kernel.
383		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
384		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
385		default environment.
386
387		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
388
389		When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
390		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
391		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
392
393		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
394
395		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
396		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
397		concepts).
398
399		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
400		 * New libfdt-based support
401		 * Adds the "fdt" command
402		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
403
404		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
405			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
406		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
407			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
408		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
409		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
410
411		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
412		addresses
413
414		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
415
416		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
417		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
418
419		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
420
421		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
422		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
423
424		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
425
426		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
427		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
428		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
429		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
430		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
431		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
432
433- vxWorks boot parameters:
434
435		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
436		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
437		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
438
439		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
440		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
441		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
442		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
443
444		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
445
446		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
447
448		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
449		the defaults discussed just above.
450
451- Serial Ports:
452		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
453
454		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
455
456		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
457
458		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
459
460		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
461
462		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
463		the clock speed of the UARTs.
464
465		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
466
467		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
468		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
469		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
470
471
472- Console Interface:
473		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
474		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
475		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
476		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
477
478		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
479		port routines must be defined elsewhere
480		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
481
482		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
483		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
484		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)
485			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
486						(default big endian)
487			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
488						rectangle fill
489						(cf. smiLynxEM)
490			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
491						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
492			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
493						(cols=pitch)
494			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
495			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
496			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
497						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
498			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
499			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
500						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
501			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
502						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
503			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
504						(i.e. i8042_getc)
505			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
506						(requires blink timer
507						cf. i8042.c)
508			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
509			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
510						upper right corner
511						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
512			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
513						upper left corner
514			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
515						linux_logo.h for logo.
516						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
517			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
518						additional board info beside
519						the logo
520
521		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
522		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
523		environment 'console=serial'.
524
525		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
526		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
527		the "silent" environment variable. See
528		doc/README.silent for more information.
529
530- Console Baudrate:
531		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
532		Select one of the baudrates listed in
533		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
534		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
535
536- Console Rx buffer length
537		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
538		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
539		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
540		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
541		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
542		the SMC.
543
544- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
545		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
546		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
547
548		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
549		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
550		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
551		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
552		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
553		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
554		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
555		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
556		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
557		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
558		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
559		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
560
561- Autoboot Command:
562		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
563		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
564		define a command string that is automatically executed
565		when no character is read on the console interface
566		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
567
568		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
569		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
570		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
571		environment value "bootargs".
572
573		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
574		The value of these goes into the environment as
575		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
576		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
577		RAM and NFS.
578
579- Pre-Boot Commands:
580		CONFIG_PREBOOT
581
582		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
583		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
584		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
585		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
586		entering interactive mode.
587
588		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
589		automatically generated or modified. For an example
590		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
591		modified when the user holds down a certain
592		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
593		booting the systems
594
595- Serial Download Echo Mode:
596		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
597		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
598		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
599		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
600		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
601		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
602		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
603
604- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
605		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
606		Select one of the baudrates listed in
607		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
608
609- Monitor Functions:
610		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
611		from the build by using the #include files
612		"config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted
613		commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h"
614		and augmenting with additional #define's
615		for wanted commands.
616
617		The default command configuration includes all commands
618		except those marked below with a "*".

699		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
700		support you can write:
701
702		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
703		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
704
705	Other Commands:
706		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
707
708	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
709		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
710		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
711		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
712		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
713		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
714		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
715		initial stack and some data.
716
717
718		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
719
720- Watchdog:
721		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
722		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
723		support. There must be support in the platform specific
724		code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the
725		SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
726		register.
727
728- U-Boot Version:
729		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
730		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
731		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
732		version as printed by the "version" command.
733		This variable is readonly.
734
735- Real-Time Clock:
736
737		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
738		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
739		following options:

750		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
751		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
752		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
753					  RV3029 RTC.
754
755		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
756		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
757
758- GPIO Support:
759		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
760		CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO	- enable pca953x info command
761
762		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
763		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
764		pins supported by a particular chip.
765
766		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
767		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
768
769- Timestamp Support:
770
771		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
772		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
773		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
774		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
775
776- Partition Support:
777		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION
778		and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION

781		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
782		least one partition type as well.
783
784- IDE Reset method:
785		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
786		board configurations files but used nowhere!
787
788		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
789		be performed by calling the function
790			ide_set_reset(int reset)
791		which has to be defined in a board specific file
792
793- ATAPI Support:
794		CONFIG_ATAPI
795
796		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
797
798- LBA48 Support
799		CONFIG_LBA48
800
801		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
802		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
803		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
804		support disks up to 2.1TB.
805
806		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
807			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
808			Default is 32bit.
809
810- SCSI Support:
811		At the moment only there is only support for the
812		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
813		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
814
815		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
816		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
817		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
818		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
819		devices.
820		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
821

888			wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
889			useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
890			control registers. This behavior won't affect the
891			correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
892

922		supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
923		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
924		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
925		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
926		storage devices.
927		Note:
928		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives

943
944- USB Device:
945		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
946		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
947		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
948		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
949		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
950		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
951		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
952		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
953		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
954		a Linux host by
955		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
956		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
957		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
958		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
959
960			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
961			Define this to build a UDC device
962
963			CONFIG_USB_TTY

977				Derive USB clock from brgclk
978				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
979
980		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
981		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
982		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
983		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
984		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
985		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
986
987			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
988			Define this string as the name of your company for
989			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
990
991			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
992			Define this string as the name of your product
993			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
994
995			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
996			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
997			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID

1003			for your device
1004			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1005
1006
1007- MMC Support:
1008		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1009		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1010		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1011		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1012		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1013		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1014
1015- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1016		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,

1028		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1029		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1030		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1031		have not defined a custom partition
1032
1033- Keyboard Support:
1034		CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1035
1036		Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1037		support
1038
1039		CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1040		Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1041		GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1042		Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1043		for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1044
1045- Video support:
1046		CONFIG_VIDEO
1047
1048		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1049		video).
1050
1051		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1052
1053		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1054
1055		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1056		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1057		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1058		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1059		assumed.
1060
1061		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1062		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1063		are possible:
1064		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1065		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1066
1067		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1068		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1069		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1070		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1071		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1072		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1073		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1074		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1075
1076		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1077		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1078
1079
1080		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1081		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1082		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1083		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1084
1085		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1086		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.  Reference boards for
1087		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1088		support, and should also define these other macros:
1089
1090			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1091			CONFIG_VIDEO
1092			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1093			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1094			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1095			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1096			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1097			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1098
1099		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1100		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1101		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1102		description of this variable.
1103
1104- Keyboard Support:
1105		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1106
1107		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1108		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1109		defined in your board-specific files.
1110		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1111
1112- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1113
1114		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1115		display); also select one of the supported displays
1116		by defining one of these:
1117
1118		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1119
1120			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1121
1122		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1123
1124			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1125
1126		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1127
1128			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1129			Active, color, single scan.
1130
1131		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1132
1133			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1134			Active, color, single scan.
1135
1136		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1137
1138			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1139			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1140
1141		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1142
1143			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1144			Active, color, single scan.
1145
1146		CONFIG_HLD1045
1147
1148			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1149			Active, color, single scan.
1150
1151		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1152
1153			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1154			or
1155			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1156			or
1157			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1158
1159			320x240. Black & white.
1160
1161		Normally display is black on white background; define
1162		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1163
1164- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1165
1166		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1167		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1168		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1169		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1170		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1171		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1172		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1173		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1174
1175		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1176
1177		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1178		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1179		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1180		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1181		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1182		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1183
1184		Example:
1185		setenv splashpos m,m
1186			=> image at center of screen
1187
1188		setenv splashpos 30,20
1189			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1190
1191		setenv splashpos -10,m
1192			=> vertically centered image
1193			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1194
1195- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1196
1197		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1198		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1199		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1200
1201- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1202
1203		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1204		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1205		bmp command.
1206
1207- Compression support:
1208		CONFIG_BZIP2
1209
1210		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1211		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1212		compressed images are supported.
1213
1214		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1215		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1216		be at least 4MB.
1217
1218		CONFIG_LZMA
1219
1220		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1221		images is included.
1222
1223		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1224		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1225		formula:
1226
1227			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1228
1229		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1230		and Literal pos bits.
1231
1232		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1233		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1234		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1235		a very small buffer.
1236
1237		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1238		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1239		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1240
1241- MII/PHY support:
1242		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1243
1244		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1245
1246		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1247
1248		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1249
1250		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1251
1252		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1253		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1254
1255		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1256
1257		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1258		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1259		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1260		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1261
1262		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1263
1264		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1265		command issued before MII status register can be read
1266
1267- Ethernet address:
1268		CONFIG_ETHADDR
1269		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1270		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1271		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1272		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1273		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1274
1275		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1276		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1277		is not determined automatically.
1278
1279- IP address:
1280		CONFIG_IPADDR
1281
1282		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1283		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1284		determined through e.g. bootp.
1285
1286- Server IP address:
1287		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1288
1289		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1290		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1291
1292		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1293
1294		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1295		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1296
1297- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1298		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1299
1300		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1301		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1302		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1303		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1304		multicast group.
1305
1306		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1307- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1308		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1309
1310		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1311		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1312		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1313		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1314		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1315		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1316		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1317		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1318		following delays are inserted then:
1319
1320		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1321		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1322		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1323		4th and following
1324		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1325
1326- DHCP Advanced Options:
1327		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1328		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1329
1330		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1331		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1332		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1333		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1334		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1335		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1336		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1337		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1338		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1339		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1340		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1341		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1342
1343		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1344		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1345
1346		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1347		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1348		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1349		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1350		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1351		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1352		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1353		is defined.
1354
1355		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1356		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1357		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1358		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1359		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1360		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1361
1362		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1363
1364		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1365		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1366		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1367		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1368		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1369		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1370		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1371		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1372		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1373		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1374		this delay.
1375
1376 - CDP Options:
1377		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1378
1379		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1380
1381		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1382
1383		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1384		of the device.
1385
1386		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1387
1388		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1389		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1390		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1391
1392		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1393
1394		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1395		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1396
1397		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1398
1399		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1400
1401		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1402
1403		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1404
1405		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1406
1407		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1408
1409		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1410
1411		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1412		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1413
1414		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1415
1416		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1417
1418- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1419
1420		Several configurations allow to display the current
1421		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1422		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1423		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1424		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1425		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1426		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1427		feature in U-Boot.
1428
1429- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1430
1431		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1432		on those systems that support this (optional)
1433		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1434
1435- I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1436
1437		These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
1438		(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
1439		include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
1440
1441		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
1442		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
1443		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1444		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
1445		command line interface.
1446
1447		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
1448
1449		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
1450		bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1451		support for I2C.
1452
1453		There are several other quantities that must also be
1454		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
1455
1456		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
1457		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
1458		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
1459		the CPU's i2c node address).
1460
1461		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
1462		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
1463		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1464		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1465		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
1466
1467		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1468
1469		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1470		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1471		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
1472		commands until the slave device responds.
1473
1474		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
1475
1476		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1477		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1478		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
1479
1480		I2C_INIT
1481
1482		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
1483		controller or configure ports.
1484
1485		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
1486
1487		I2C_PORT
1488
1489		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1490		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1491		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
1492
1493		I2C_ACTIVE
1494
1495		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1496		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
1497		define can be null.
1498
1499		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
1500
1501		I2C_TRISTATE
1502
1503		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1504		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
1505		define can be null.
1506
1507		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1508
1509		I2C_READ
1510
1511		Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1512		FALSE if it is low.
1513
1514		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1515
1516		I2C_SDA(bit)
1517
1518		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1519		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1520
1521		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
1522			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
1523			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
1524
1525		I2C_SCL(bit)
1526
1527		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1528		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1529
1530		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
1531			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
1532			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
1533
1534		I2C_DELAY
1535
1536		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1537		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
1538		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
1539		like:
1540
1541		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
1542
1543		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1544
1545		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1546		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1547		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1548		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1549
1550		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1551		the generic GPIO functions.
1552
1553		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
1554
1555		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1556		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1557		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1558		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1559		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1560		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1561		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1562		is run early in the boot sequence.
1563
1564		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1565
1566		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1567		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1568		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1569		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1570		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1571		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1572		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1573		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1574
1575		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1576
1577		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1578		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1579		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1580
1581		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1582
1583		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1584		must have a controller.  At any point in time, only one bus is
1585		active.  To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1586		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1587
1588		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
1589
1590		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
1591		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.  If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1592		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
1593		a 1D array of device addresses
1594
1595		e.g.
1596			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1597			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES	{0x50,0x68}
1598
1599		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1600
1601			#define	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1602			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
1603
1604		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1605
1606		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
1607
1608		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1609		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1610
1611		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
1612
1613		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1614		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1615
1616		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
1617
1618		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1619		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1620
1621		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
1622
1623		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1624		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1625		specified DTT device.
1626
1627		CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1628
1629		Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
1630		drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
1631
1632		CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1633
1634		Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1635		I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1636		Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1637		new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1638		new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1639		the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1640
1641		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1642		feature!
1643
1644		Example:
1645		Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1646			The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1647			The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1648
1649		=> i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1650
1651		Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1652		of I2C Busses with muxes:
1653
1654		=> i2c bus
1655		Busses reached over muxes:
1656		Bus ID: 2
1657		  reached over Mux(es):
1658		    pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1659		Bus ID: 3
1660		  reached over Mux(es):
1661		    pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1662		    pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1663		=>
1664
1665		If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
1666		u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
1667		channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
1668		the channel 4.
1669
1670		After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
1671		usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
1672		the 2 muxes.
1673
1674		This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1675		algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1676		Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1677		to add this option to other architectures.
1678
1679		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1680
1681		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1682		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1683		between writing the address pointer and reading the
1684		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1685		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
1686		devices can use either method, but some require one or
1687		the other.
1688
1689- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
1690
1691		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
1692		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
1693		D/As on the SACSng board)
1694
1695		CONFIG_SH_SPI
1696
1697		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
1698		only SH7757 is supported.
1699
1700		CONFIG_SPI_X
1701
1702		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
1703		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
1704
1705		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
1706
1707		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1708		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1709		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1710		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1711		defined, the board configuration must define several
1712		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1713		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
1714
1715		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
1716
1717		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
1718		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
1719		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
1720		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.  For an
1721		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
1722
1723		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
1724
1725		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
1726		SoCs. Currently only i.MX31 is supported.
1727
1728- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
1729
1730		Enables FPGA subsystem.
1731
1732		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
1733
1734		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
1735		(ALTERA, XILINX)
1736
1737		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
1738
1739		Enables support for FPGA family.
1740		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
1741
1742		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
1743
1744		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
1745
1746		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
1747
1748		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
1749
1750		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
1751
1752		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
1753		status by the configuration function. This option
1754		will require a board or device specific function to
1755		be written.
1756
1757		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
1758
1759		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
1760		configuration driver.
1761
1762		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
1763		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
1764
1765		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
1766
1767		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
1768		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
1769		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
1770		indicated a CRC error).
1771
1772		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
1773
1774		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
1775		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
1776		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
1777		ms.
1778
1779		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
1780
1781		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
1782		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
1783
1784		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
1785
1786		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
1787		200 ms.
1788
1789- Configuration Management:
1790		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1791
1792		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1793		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
1794
1795- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1796
1797		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1798		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
1799		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
1800		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1801		protects these variables from casual modification by
1802		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1803		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
1804		change this behaviour:
1805
1806		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1807		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
1808		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
1809		these parameters.
1810
1811		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1812		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
1813		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
1814		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1815		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1816		read-only.]
1817
1818- Protected RAM:
1819		CONFIG_PRAM
1820
1821		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1822		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1823		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1824		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1825		this default value by defining an environment
1826		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1827		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1828		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1829		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1830		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1831		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1832		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1833
1834			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
1835			saveenv
1836
1837		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1838		either, which results in a memory region that will
1839		not be affected by reboots.
1840
1841		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1842		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1843		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1844		following board configurations are known to be
1845		"pRAM-clean":
1846
1847			ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1848			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
1849			FLAGADM, TQM8260
1850
1851- Error Recovery:
1852		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1853
1854		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1855		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1856		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
1857		system where you want the system to reboot
1858		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1859		useful during development since you can try to debug
1860		the conditions that lead to the situation.
1861
1862		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1863
1864		This variable defines the number of retries for
1865		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1866		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1867		default value of 5 is used.
1868
1869		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
1870
1871		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
1872
1873- Command Interpreter:
1874		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
1875
1876		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
1877
1878		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
1879		for the "hush" shell.
1880
1881
1882		CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
1883
1884		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1885		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1886		powerful command line syntax like
1887		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1888		constructs ("shell scripts").
1889
1890		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1891		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1892
1893
1894		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
1895
1896		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1897		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1898		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1899
1900	Note:
1901
1902		In the current implementation, the local variables
1903		space and global environment variables space are
1904		separated. Local variables are those you define by
1905		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1906		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1907		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
1908		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
1909
1910		Global environment variables are those you use
1911		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1912		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1913		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
1914
1915		To store commands and special characters in a
1916		variable, please use double quotation marks
1917		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1918		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1919		symbols.
1920
1921- Commandline Editing and History:
1922		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
1923
1924		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
1925		commandline input operations
1926
1927- Default Environment:
1928		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1929
1930		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1931		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
1932		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
1933
1934		For example, place something like this in your
1935		board's config file:
1936
1937		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1938			"myvar1=value1\0" \
1939			"myvar2=value2\0"
1940
1941		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1942		internal format how the environment is stored by the
1943		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1944		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
1945		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
1946		You better know what you are doing here.
1947
1948		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1949		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
1950		the environment like the "source" command or the
1951		boot command first.
1952
1953- DataFlash Support:
1954		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
1955
1956		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
1957		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
1958		commands cp, md...
1959
1960- SystemACE Support:
1961		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
1962
1963		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
1964		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
1965		of the chip must also be defined in the
1966		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
1967
1968		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
1969		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
1970
1971		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
1972		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
1973
1974- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
1975		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
1976
1977		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
1978		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
1979		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
1980		number generator is used.
1981
1982		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
1983		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
1984		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
1985
1986		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
1987		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
1988		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
1989		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
1990		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
1991		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
1992		but sometimes that is not allowed.
1993
1994- Show boot progress:
1995		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
1996
1997		Defining this option allows to add some board-
1998		specific code (calling a user-provided function
1999		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2000		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2001		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2002		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2003
2004- Standalone program support:
2005		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2006
2007		This option allows to define board specific values
2008		for the address where standalone program gets loaded,
2009		thus overwriting the architecutre dependent default
2010		settings.
2011
2012- Frame Buffer Address:
2013	CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2014
2015	Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific address for
2016	frame buffer.
2017	Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to defined address
2018	instead of lcd_setmem (this function grab the memory for frame buffer
2019	by panel's size).
2020
2021	Please see board_init_f function.
2022
2023	If you want this config option then,
2024	please define it at your board config file
2025
2026Legacy uImage format:

2179- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
2180		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
2181		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
2182		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
2183
2184		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
2185		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
2186
2187- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
2188		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
2189
2190		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
2191		Needed for mtdparts command support.
2192
2193		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
2194
2195		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
2196		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
2197
2198
2199Modem Support:
2200--------------
2201
2202[so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
2203
2204- Modem support enable:
2205		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2206
2207- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2208		CONFIG_HWFLOW
2209
2210- Modem debug support:
2211		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2212
2213		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2214		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
2215
2216- Interrupt support (PPC):
2217
2218		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2219		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
2220		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
2221		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
2222		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
2223		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
2224		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
2225		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2226		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2227		general timer_interrupt().
2228
2229- General:
2230
2231		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2232		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2233		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
2234		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
2235		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2236		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2237		initialization.
2238
2239		If there are no modem init strings in the
2240		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2241		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
2242		suppressed, though.
2243
2244		See also: doc/README.Modem
2245
2246
2247Configuration Settings:
2248-----------------------
2249
2250- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
2251		undefine this when you're short of memory.
2252
2253- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
2254		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
2255
2256- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
2257		prompt for user input.
2258
2259- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
2260
2261- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
2262
2263- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
2264
2265- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
2266		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
2267		booted
2268
2269- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
2270		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
2271
2272- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
2273		Suppress display of console information at boot.
2274
2275- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
2276		If the board specific function
2277			extern int overwrite_console (void);
2278		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
2279		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
2280
2281- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
2282		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
2283
2284- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
2285		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
2286
2287- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
2288		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2289		simple memory test.
2290
2291- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
2292		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
2293
2294- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
2295		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2296		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2297
2298- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2299		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
2300		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
2301		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
2302		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2303		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2304		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
2305		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
2306		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
2307		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
2308
2309		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2310		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2311		be touched.
2312
2313		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2314		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2315		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2316		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2317		problems.
2318
2319- CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR:
2320		Default load address for network file downloads
2321
2322- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
2323		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
2324
2325- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
2326		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
2327
2328- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
2329		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
2330		Cogent motherboard)
2331
2332- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
2333		Physical start address of Flash memory.
2334
2335- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
2336		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
2337		make config files to be same as the text base address
2338		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
2339		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
2340
2341- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
2342		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2343		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2344		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2345		flash sector.
2346
2347- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
2348		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2349
2350- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
2351		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2352		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
2353		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
2354		to adjust this setting to your needs.
2355
2356- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
2357		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
2358		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
2359		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2360		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2361		enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2362		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
2363		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  The environment
2364		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2365		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2366		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
2367
2368- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2369		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
2370		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2371		is enabled.
2372
2373- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2374		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2375		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2376
2377- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2378		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2379		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2380
2381- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
2382		Max number of Flash memory banks
2383
2384- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
2385		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
2386
2387- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
2388		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
2389
2390- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
2391		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
2392
2393- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
2394		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
2395
2396- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
2397		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
2398
2399- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
2400		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2401		instead of U-Boot software protection.
2402
2403- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
2404
2405		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2406		without this option such a download has to be
2407		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2408		copy from RAM to flash.
2409
2410		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2411		you can check if the download worked before you erase
2412		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2413		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
2414		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2415
2416- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
2417		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
2418		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2419
2420- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
2421		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
2422		in the drivers directory
2423
2424- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2425		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2426		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2427		to the MTD layer.
2428
2429- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
2430		Use buffered writes to flash.
2431
2432- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
2433		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
2434		write commands.
2435
2436- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
2437		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2438		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2439		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2440		optionally available.
2441
2442- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2443		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2444		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2445		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2446
2447- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
2448		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2449		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
2450		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2451		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
2452		on high Ethernet traffic.
2453		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2454
2455- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
2456
2457	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
2458	internally to store the environment settings. The default
2459	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
2460	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
2461	lib/hashtable.c for details.
2462
2463The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2464of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2465following configurations:
2466
2467- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
2468
2469	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2470
2471	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2472	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2473	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2474	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2475	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2476	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2477	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2478	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2479	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2480	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2481	   between U-Boot and the environment.
2482
2483	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2484
2485	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2486	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2487	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2488	   for this sector is given here.
2489
2490	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
2491
2492	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2493
2494	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
2495	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
2496	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
2497
2498	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
2499
2500	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
2501
2502
2503	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2504	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2505	   the environment.
2506
2507	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
2508
2509	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
2510	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
2511	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2512	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2513
2514	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2515	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2516	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2517	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2518	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2519	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
2520	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2521	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2522	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
2523
2524	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
2525	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
2526
2527	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
2528	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
2529	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
2530	   a "saveenv" operation.
2531
2532BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2533source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2534accordingly!
2535
2536
2537- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
2538
2539	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2540	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2541	environment.
2542
2543	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2544	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
2545
2546	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
2547	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2548	  can just be read and written to, without any special
2549	  provision.
2550
2551BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2552in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
2553console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
2554U-Boot will hang.
2555
2556Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2557environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2558keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2559to save the current settings.
2560
2561
2562- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
2563
2564	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2565	device and a driver for it.
2566
2567	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2568	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
2569
2570	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
2571	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
2572
2573	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
2574	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2575	  The default address is zero.
2576
2577	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
2578	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2579	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
2580	  would require six bits.
2581
2582	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
2583	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
2584	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
2585
2586	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
2587	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
2588	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
2589
2590	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
2591	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2592	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2593	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2594	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2595	  byte chips.
2596
2597	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2598	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2599	  in the chip address.
2600
2601	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
2602	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
2603
2604	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
2605	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
2606	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
2607
2608	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
2609	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
2610	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
2611	  EEPROM. For example:
2612
2613	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  "pca9547:70:d\0"
2614
2615	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
2616	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
2617
2618- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
2619
2620	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
2621	want to use for the environment.
2622
2623	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2624	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
2625	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
2626
2627	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
2628	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
2629	  at the specified address.
2630
2631- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
2632
2633	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
2634	for the environment.
2635
2636	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
2637	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
2638
2639	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
2640	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
2641	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
2642
2643	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
2644
2645	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
2646	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
2647	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
2648	  during a "saveenv" operation.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
2649	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
2650
2651	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
2652
2653	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
2654	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
2655	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
2656	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
2657	  the range to be avoided.
2658
2659	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
2660
2661	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
2662	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
2663	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
2664	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
2665	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
2666
2667- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
2668
2669	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
2670	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
2671	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
2672
2673- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
2674
2675	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2676	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2677	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2678	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2679	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2680	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2681	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2682
2683Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
2684has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
2685created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
2686until then to read environment variables.
2687
2688The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2689is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2690with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2691necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2692"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2693have any device yet where we could complain.]
2694
2695Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2696the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
2697use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
2698
2699- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
2700		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
2701
2702		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
2703		      also needs to be defined.
2704
2705- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
2706		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
2707
2708- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
2709		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
2710		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
2711		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
2712		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
2713		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
2714
2715Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
2716---------------------------------------------------
2717
2718- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
2719		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
2720
2721- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
2722		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
2723
2724		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
2725		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
2726		the IMMR register after a reset.
2727
2728- Floppy Disk Support:
2729		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
2730
2731		the default drive number (default value 0)
2732
2733		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
2734
2735		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
2736		(default value 1)
2737
2738		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
2739
2740		defines the offset of register from address. It
2741		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
2742		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
2743
2744		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
2745		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
2746		default value.
2747
2748		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
2749		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
2750		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
2751		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
2752		initializations.
2753
2754- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
2755		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
2756		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
2757		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
2758		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
2759		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
2760		is requierd.
2761
2762- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
2763		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
2764		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
2765
2766- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
2767
2768		Start address of memory area that can be used for
2769		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
2770		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
2771		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
2772		will become available only after programming the
2773		memory controller and running certain initialization
2774		sequences.
2775
2776		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
2777		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
2778		- MPC824X: data cache
2779		- PPC4xx:  data cache
2780
2781- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
2782
2783		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
2784		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
2785		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
2786		data is located at the end of the available space
2787		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
2788		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
2789		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
2790		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
2791
2792	Note:
2793		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
2794		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
2795		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
2796		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
2797		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
2798
2799- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR:	SIU Module Configuration (11-6)
2800

2815		periodic timer for refresh
2816

2827  CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
2828		Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
2829
2830- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K,
2831  CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL:
2832		Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer
2833		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
2834
2835- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
2836		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
2837		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
2838
2839- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
2840		enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
2841		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1]
2842
2843- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
2844		enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
2845		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
2846
2847- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
2848		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
2849		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
2850		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
2851
2852- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
2853		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
2854		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
2855		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
2856		cpm_8260.h.
2857
2858- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
2859  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

2865  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
2866		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
2867
2868- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
2869		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
2870		required.
2871
2872- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
2873		Chip has SRIO or not
2874
2875- CONFIG_SRIO1:
2876		Board has SRIO 1 port available
2877
2878- CONFIG_SRIO2:
2879		Board has SRIO 2 port available
2880
2881- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
2882		Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
2883
2884- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
2885		Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
2886
2887- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
2888		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
2889
2890- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
2891		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
2892		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
2893
2894  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
2895		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
2896
2897- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2898		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
2899		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
2900		to something your driver can deal with.
2901
2902- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
2903		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
2904		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
2905
2906- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
2907		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
2908
2909- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
2910		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
2911		to the given FEC; i. e.
2912			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
2913		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
2914
2915		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
2916
2917- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
2918		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
2919		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
2920
2921- CONFIG_RMII
2922		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
2923		Note that this is a global option, we can't
2924		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
2925
2926- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
2927		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
2928		The syntax is:
2929
2930		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
2931
2932		Where address/count indicate a memory area
2933		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
2934		area should have.
2935
2936- CONFIG_LOOPW
2937		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
2938		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
2939
2940- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
2941		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
2942		"md/mw" commands.
2943		Examples:
2944
2945		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
2946		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
2947
2948		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
2949		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
2950
2951		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
2952		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
2953
2954- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
2955		[ARM only] If this variable is defined, then certain
2956		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
2957		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
2958		relocate itself into RAM.
2959
2960		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
2961		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
2962		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
2963		these initializations itself.
2964
2965- CONFIG_PRELOADER
2966		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
2967		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
2968		compiling a NAND SPL.
2969
2970- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
2971  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
2972		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
2973		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
2974		conditions but may increase the binary size.
2975
2976Building the Software:
2977======================
2978
2979Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
2980and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
2981all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
2982(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
2983recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
2984which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
2985
2986If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
2987have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
2988you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
2989Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
2990necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
2991
2992	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
2993	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
2994
2995Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
2996      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
2997      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
2998      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
2999
3000       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3001
3002      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3003      be executed on computers running Windows.
3004
3005U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3006sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
3007is done by typing:
3008
3009	make NAME_config
3010
3011where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
3012rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
3013
3014Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3015      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3016      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3017      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
3018      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
3019
3020      make TQM823L_config
3021	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3022
3023      make TQM823L_LCD_config
3024	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3025
3026      etc.
3027
3028
3029Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3030images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3031
3032- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3033- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3034- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3035
3036By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3037in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3038this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3039
30401. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3041
3042	make O=/tmp/build distclean
3043	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3044	make O=/tmp/build all
3045
30462. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3047
3048	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3049	make distclean
3050	make NAME_config
3051	make all
3052
3053Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3054variable.
3055
3056
3057Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3058for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3059native "make".
3060
3061
3062If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3063to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3064steps:
3065
30661.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
3067    "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
3068    entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
3069    boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
3070    keep this order.
30712.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3072    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3073    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
30743.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3075    your board
30763.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3077    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
30784.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
30795.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3080    to be installed on your target system.
30816.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3082    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3083
3084
3085Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3086==============================================================
3087
3088If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3089or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
3090provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3091the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
3092official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
3093
3094But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3095cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
3096the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3097just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
3098for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3099select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3100environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3101you can type
3102
3103	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3104
3105or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
3106
3107	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
3108
3109When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3110U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3111setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3112built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3113<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3114location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3115variable. For example:
3116
3117	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3118	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3119	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3120
3121With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3122log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3123during the whole build process.

3175Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
3176========================================
3177
3178TODO.
3179
3180For now: just type "help <command>".
3181
3182
3183Environment Variables:
3184======================
3185
3186U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3187can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
3188
3189Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3190"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3191without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3192environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3193working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3194environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
3195
3196Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3197
3198List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
3199
3200  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
3201
3202  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
3203
3204  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
3205
3206  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
3207
3208  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
3209
3210  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3211		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3212		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3213		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3214		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3215		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
3216		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3217		  bootm_mapsize.
3218
3219  bootm_mapsize	- Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
3220		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3221		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3222		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3223		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3224		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3225		  used otherwise.
3226
3227  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3228		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3229		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3230		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3231		  environment variable.
3232
3233  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3234		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3235		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3236
3237  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3238		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3239		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3240		  load any image using TFTP
3241
3242  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3243		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3244		  be automatically started (by internally calling
3245		  "bootm")
3246
3247		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3248		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3249		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3250		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3251		  data.
3252
3253  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3254		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3255		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3256		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3257		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
3258
3259  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
3260		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3261		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3262		  is usually what you want since it allows for
3263		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3264		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
3265		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
3266		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3267		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3268		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3269		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
3270
3271		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3272		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3273		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3274		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3275		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3276		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
3277
3278		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
3279
3280		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3281		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3282		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3283		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3284		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3285		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
3286		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
3287
3288  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
3289
3290  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
3291		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
3292
3293  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
3294
3295  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
3296
3297  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
3298
3299  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
3300
3301  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
3302
3303  ethprime	- When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
3304		  interface is used first.
3305
3306  ethact	- When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
3307		  interface is currently active. For example you
3308		  can do the following
3309
3310		  => setenv ethact FEC
3311		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
3312		  => setenv ethact SCC
3313		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
3314
3315  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3316		  available network interfaces.
3317		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3318
3319  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
3320		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
3321		  When set to "once" the network operation will
3322		  fail when all the available network interfaces
3323		  are tried once without success.
3324		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3325		  themselves.
3326
3327  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
3328
3329  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
3330		  UDP source port.
3331
3332  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
3333		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
3334
3335  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
3336		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
3337
3338  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3339		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3340		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3341		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3342		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3343		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3344		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
3345
3346  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
3347		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
3348		  VLAN tagged frames.
3349
3350The following environment variables may be used and automatically
3351updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3352depending the information provided by your boot server:
3353
3354  bootfile	- see above
3355  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
3356  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3357  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3358  hostname	- Target hostname
3359  ipaddr	- see above
3360  netmask	- Subnet Mask
3361  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3362  serverip	- see above
3363
3364
3365There are two special Environment Variables:
3366
3367  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
3368		  as type string and/or serial number
3369  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
3370
3371These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3372the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3373once they have been set once.
3374
3375
3376Further special Environment Variables:
3377
3378  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3379		  with the "version" command. This variable is
3380		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
3381
3382
3383Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
3384only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
3385
3386
3387Command Line Parsing:
3388=====================
3389
3390There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3391the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
3392
3393Old, simple command line parser:
3394--------------------------------
3395
3396- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3397- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
3398- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
3399- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3400  for example:
3401	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
3402- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3403	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
3404
3405Hush shell:
3406-----------
3407
3408- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3409  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3410  until...do...done, ...
3411- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3412  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3413  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3414  command
3415
3416General rules:
3417--------------
3418
3419(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3420    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3421    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3422    executed anyway.
3423
3424(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
3425    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
3426    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3427    variables are not executed.
3428
3429Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3430=======================================
3431
3432Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
3433such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3434"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
3435
3436Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3437MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3438"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
3439
3440If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3441in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3442ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3443variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
3444
3445o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3446  environment, the SROM's address is used.
3447
3448o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3449  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3450  used.
3451
3452o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3453  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
3454
3455o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
3456  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
3457  warning is printed.
3458
3459o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3460  is raised.
3461
3462If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
3463will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.  This
3464may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
3465The naming convention is as follows:
3466"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
3467
3468Image Formats:
3469==============
3470
3471U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3472images in two formats:
3473
3474New uImage format (FIT)
3475-----------------------
3476
3477Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3478to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3479components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3480SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3481
3482
3483Old uImage format
3484-----------------
3485
3486Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3487preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3488details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
3489
3490* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
3491  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
3492  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
3493  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
3494  INTEGRITY).
3495* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
3496  IA64, MIPS, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
3497  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, Nios II, PowerPC).
3498* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
3499* Load Address
3500* Entry Point
3501* Image Name
3502* Image Timestamp
3503
3504The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
3505and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
3506CRC32 checksums.
3507
3508
3509Linux Support:
3510==============
3511
3512Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3513easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3514U-Boot.
3515
3516U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3517special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3518"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3519instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3520serves several purposes:
3521
3522- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3523  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3524  Flash memory footprint)
3525
3526- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3527  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
3528
3529- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3530  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3531  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3532  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3533  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3534  software is easier now.
3535
3536
3537Linux HOWTO:
3538============
3539
3540Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3541---------------------------------------
3542
3543U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3544configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3545(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3546Linux :-).
3547
3548But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
3549
3550Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3551include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
3552Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3553and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
3554as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
3555
3556
3557Configuring the Linux kernel:
3558-----------------------------
3559
3560No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3561device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
3562
3563
3564Building a Linux Image:
3565-----------------------
3566
3567With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3568not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3569"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3570U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3571which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3572100% compatible format.
3573
3574Example:
3575
3576	make TQM850L_config
3577	make oldconfig
3578	make dep
3579	make uImage
3580
3581The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3582encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
3583CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
3584
3585* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
3586
3587* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
3588
3589	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3590				 -R .note -R .comment \
3591				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
3592
3593* compress the binary image:
3594
3595	gzip -9 linux.bin
3596
3597* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
3598
3599	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3600		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3601		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
3602
3603
3604The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3605with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3606combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3607byte header containing information about target architecture,
3608operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3609stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
3610
3611"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3612print the header information, or to build new images.
3613
3614In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3615contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3616checksum verification:
3617
3618	tools/mkimage -l image
3619	  -l ==> list image header information
3620
3621The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3622from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
3623
3624	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
3625		      -n name -d data_file image
3626	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
3627	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
3628	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
3629	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
3630	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
3631	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
3632	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
3633	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
3634
3635Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3636address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3637kernel version:
3638
3639- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3640- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
3641
3642So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
3643
3644	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
3645	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
3646	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
3647	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
3648	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
3649	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
3650	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
3651	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
3652	Load Address: 0x00000000
3653	Entry Point:  0x00000000
3654
3655To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
3656
3657	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
3658	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
3659	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
3660	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
3661	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
3662	Load Address: 0x00000000
3663	Entry Point:  0x00000000
3664
3665NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
3666speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
3667needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
3668need to be uncompressed:
3669
3670	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
3671	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
3672	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
3673	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
3674	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
3675	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
3676	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
3677	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
3678	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
3679	Load Address: 0x00000000
3680	Entry Point:  0x00000000
3681
3682
3683Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
3684when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
3685
3686	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
3687	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
3688	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
3689	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
3690	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
3691	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
3692	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
3693	Load Address: 0x00000000
3694	Entry Point:  0x00000000
3695
3696
3697Installing a Linux Image:
3698-------------------------
3699
3700To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3701you must convert the image to S-Record format:
3702
3703	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
3704
3705The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3706image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3707address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3708specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3709command.
3710
3711Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
3712TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
3713
3714	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
3715
3716	.......... done
3717	Erased 8 sectors
3718
3719	=> loads 40100000
3720	## Ready for S-Record download ...
3721	~>examples/image.srec
3722	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
3723	...
3724	15989 15990 15991 15992
3725	[file transfer complete]
3726	[connected]
3727	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
3728
3729
3730You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
3731this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
3732corruption happened:
3733
3734	=> imi 40100000
3735
3736	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
3737	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
3738	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)

3740	   Load Address: 00000000
3741	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
3742	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
3743
3744
3745Boot Linux:
3746-----------
3747
3748The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
3749memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
3750of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
3751parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
3752"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
3753
3754
3755	=> printenv bootargs
3756	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
3757
3758	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
3759
3760	=> printenv bootargs
3761	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
3762
3763	=> bootm 40020000

3778
3779If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass
3780the memory addresses of both the kernel and the initrd image (PPBCOOT

3782

3877More About U-Boot Image Types:
3878------------------------------
3879
3880U-Boot supports the following image types:
3881
3882   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
3883	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
3884	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
3885	the Standalone Program.
3886   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
3887	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
3888	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
3889	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
3890	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
3891   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
3892	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
3893	being started.
3894   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
3895	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
3896	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
3897	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
3898	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
3899	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
3900
3901	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
3902	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
3903	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
3904	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
3905	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
3906	a multiple of 4 bytes).
3907
3908   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
3909	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
3910	flash memory.
3911
3912   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
3913	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
3914	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
3915	as command interpreter.
3916
3917
3918Standalone HOWTO:
3919=================
3920
3921One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3922run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3923U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
3924
3925Two simple examples are included with the sources:
3926
3927"Hello World" Demo:
3928-------------------
3929
3930'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3931application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3932It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3933like that:
3934
3935	=> loads
3936	## Ready for S-Record download ...
3937	~>examples/hello_world.srec
3938	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
3939	[file transfer complete]
3940	[connected]
3941	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
3942
3943	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
3944	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
3945	Hello World
3946	argc = 7
3947	argv[0] = "40004"
3948	argv[1] = "Hello"
3949	argv[2] = "World!"
3950	argv[3] = "This"
3951	argv[4] = "is"
3952	argv[5] = "a"
3953	argv[6] = "test."
3954	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
3955	Hit any key to exit ...
3956
3957	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
3958
3959Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
3960handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
3961Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
3962The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
3963character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
3964controlled by the following keys:
3965
3966	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
3967	b - enable interrupts and start timer
3968	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
3969	q - quit application
3970
3971	=> loads

4006Minicom warning:
4007================
4008
4009Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4010"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4011consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4012Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4013especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
4014use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
4015
4016Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
4017configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
4018
4019	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
4020	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

4024NetBSD Notes:
4025=============
4026
4027Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4028(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
4029
4030Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4031NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4032need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4033Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4034attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4035missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
4036
4037	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4038	# mkdir powerpc
4039	# ln -s powerpc machine
4040	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4041	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
4042
4043Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4044and U-Boot include files.
4045
4046Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4047stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4048proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4049tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
4050meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
4051
4052
4053Implementation Internals:
4054=========================
4055
4056The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4057implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4058inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4059hardware.
4060
4061
4062Initial Stack, Global Data:
4063---------------------------
4064
4065The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4066starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4067system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4068This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4069is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4070at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4071options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4072models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4073MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4074locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
4075
4076	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
4077	U-Boot mailing list:
4078
4079	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
4080	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
4081	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
4082	...
4083
4084	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4085	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4086	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4087	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4088	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
4089	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
4090	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4091	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
4092
4093	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4094	is another option for the system designer to use as an
4095	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
4096	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4097	board designers haven't used it for something that would
4098	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4099	used.
4100
4101	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
4102	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4103	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
4104	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
4105	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4106	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4107	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4108	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4109	you get the config right.

4113
4114It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4115code for the initialization procedures:
4116
4117* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4118  to write it.
4119
4120* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
4121  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4122  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
4123
4124* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4125  that.
4126
4127Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4128normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4129turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4130simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4131functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4132functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4133the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4134place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4135reserve for this purpose.
4136
4137When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4138relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
4139GCC's implementation.
4140
4141For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4142	R1:	stack pointer
4143	R2:	reserved for system use
4144	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
4145	R5-R10: parameter passing
4146	R13:	small data area pointer
4147	R30:	GOT pointer
4148	R31:	frame pointer
4149
4150	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4151	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4152	going back and forth between asm and C)
4153
4154    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
4155
4156    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4157    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4158    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4159    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4160    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4161    624 text + 127 data).
4162
4163On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
4164	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
4165
4166    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
4167
4168On ARM, the following registers are used:
4169
4170	R0:	function argument word/integer result
4171	R1-R3:	function argument word
4172	R9:	GOT pointer
4173	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
4174	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
4175	R12:	temporary workspace
4176	R13:	stack pointer
4177	R14:	link register
4178	R15:	program counter
4179
4180    ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
4181
4182On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
4183	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
4184
4185    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4186
4187    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4188    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
4189
4190NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
4191or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
4192
4193Memory Management:
4194------------------
4195
4196U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4197MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
4198
4199The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4200controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4201memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4202physical memory banks.
4203
4204U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4205TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4206booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4207to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
4208memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
4209configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4210Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
4211
4212Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4213of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
4214
4215So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4216this:
4217
4218	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
4219	      :
4220	0x0000 1FFF
4221	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
4222	      :
4223	      :
4224
4225	      :
4226	      :
4227	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4228	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
4229	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
4230	      :
4231	0x00FD FFFF
4232	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
4233	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
4234	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4235	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
4236
4237
4238System Initialization:
4239----------------------
4240
4241In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
4242(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
4243configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
4244To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4245To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4246initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
4247which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
4248part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
4249the caches and the SIU.
4250
4251Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4252preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4253(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4254on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4255programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4256simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4257banks.
4258
4259When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4260different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4261bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
42620x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4263contiguous memory starting from 0.
4264
4265Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4266and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4267Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4268pages, and the final stack is set up.
4269
4270Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4271until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4272running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4273new address in RAM.

4350Coding Standards:
4351-----------------
4352
4353All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
4354coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
4355"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.  In sources
4356originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
4357spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
4358
4359Source files originating from a different project (for example the
4360MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
4361reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
4362sources.
4363
4364Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
4365Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
4366in your code.
4367
4368Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
4369- remove any trailing white space
4370- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
4371- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
4372- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
4373- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
4374
4375Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
4376with a request to reformat the changes.
4377
4378
4379Submitting Patches:
4380-------------------
4381
4382Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
4383establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
4384may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
4385
4386Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
4387
4388Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
4389see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
4390
4391When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4392it:
4393
4394* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
4395  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
4396  patch actually fixes something.
4397

4406  board to the MAKEALL script, too.
4407
4408* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4409  document these in the README file.
4410
4411* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
4412  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
4413  "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
4414  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
4415  with some other mail clients.
4416
4417  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
4418  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
4419  GNU diff.
4420
4421  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
4422  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
4423  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
4424  affected files).
4425
4426  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
4427  and compressed attachments must not be used.
4428
4429* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4430  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
4431
4432* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4433  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
4434
4435
4436Notes:
4437
4438* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
4439  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
4440  for any of the boards.
4441
4442* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
4443  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
4444  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
4445
4446* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
4447  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
4448  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
4449  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
4450  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
4451  modification.
4452
4453* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
4454  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
4455  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
4456  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
