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

Regular releases are identified by 121names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 122Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 123releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 124 125Examples: 126 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 127 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 128 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 129 130 131Directory Hierarchy: 132==================== 133 134/arch Architecture specific files 135 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 136 /cpu CPU specific files 137 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 138 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 139 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 140 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 141 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 142 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 143 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 144 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 145 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 146 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 147 /lib Architecture specific library files 148 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 149 /cpu CPU specific files 150 /lib Architecture specific library files 151 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /lib Architecture specific library files 154 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 155 /cpu CPU specific files 156 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 157 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 158 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 159 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 160 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 161 /lib Architecture specific library files 162 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 163 /cpu CPU specific files 164 /lib Architecture specific library files 165 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 166 /cpu CPU specific files 167 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 168 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 169 /lib Architecture specific library files 170 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 171 /cpu CPU specific files 172 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 173 /lib Architecture specific library files 174 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 175 /cpu CPU specific files 176 /lib Architecture specific library files 177 /openrisc Files generic to OpenRISC architecture 178 /cpu CPU specific files 179 /lib Architecture specific library files 180 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 181 /cpu CPU specific files 182 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 183 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 184 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 185 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 186 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 187 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 188 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 189 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 194 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 195 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 196 /lib Architecture specific library files 197 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 198 /cpu CPU specific files 199 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 200 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 201 /lib Architecture specific library files 202 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 203 /cpu CPU specific files 204 /lib Architecture specific library files 205/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 206/board Board dependent files 207/common Misc architecture independent functions 208/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 209/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 210/drivers Commonly used device drivers 211/dts Contains Makefile for building internal U-Boot fdt. 212/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 213/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 214/include Header Files 215/lib Files generic to all architectures 216 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 217 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 218 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 219/net Networking code 220/post Power On Self Test 221/spl Secondary Program Loader framework 222/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 223 224Software Configuration: 225======================= 226 227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 229 230There are two classes of configuration variables: 231 232* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 234 "CONFIG_". 235 236* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 239 "CONFIG_SYS_". 240 241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 245as an example here. 246 247 248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 249--------------------------------------------------- 250 251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 253 254Example: For a TQM823L module type: 255 256 cd u-boot 257 make TQM823L_config 258 259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 262 263 264Configuration Options: 265---------------------- 266 267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 268such information is kept in a configuration file 269"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 270 271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 272"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 273 274 275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 277build a config tool - later. 278 279 280The following options need to be configured: 281 282- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 283 284- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 285 286- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 287 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 288 289- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 290 Define exactly one of 291 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 292--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 293 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 294 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 295 296- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 297 Define exactly one of 298 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 299 300- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 301 Define one or more of 302 CONFIG_CMA302 303 304- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 305 Define one or more of 306 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 307 the LCD display every second with 308 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 309 310- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 311 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 312 Possible values are: 313 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 314 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 315 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 316 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 317 318- Marvell Family Member 319 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 320 multiple fs option at one time 321 for marvell soc family 322 323- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 324 Define exactly one of 325 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 326 327- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 328 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 329 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 330 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 331 reference PIT/RTC clock 332 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 333 or XTAL/EXTAL) 334 335- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 336 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 337 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 338 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 339 See doc/README.MPC866 340 341 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 342 343 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 344 of relying on the correctness of the configured 345 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 346 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 347 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 348 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 349 350 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 351 352 Define this option if you want to enable the 353 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 354 355- 85xx CPU Options: 356 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 357 358 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 359 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 360 compliance, among other possible reasons. 361 362 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 363 364 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 365 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 366 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 367 368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 369 370 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 371 tree nodes for the given platform. 372 373 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 374 375 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 376 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 377 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 378 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 379 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 380 purpose. 381 382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 383 384 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 385 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 389 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 390 391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 393 394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 398 399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 400 this erratum. 401 402 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 403 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 404 requred during NOR boot. 405 406 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 407 408 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 409 according to the A004510 workaround. 410 411 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 412 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 413 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 414 415 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 416 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 417 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 418 419 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 420 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 421 connected to the DSP core. 422 423 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 424 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 425 426 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 427 Specify emulator support for DDR. Some DDR features such as 428 deskew training are not available. 429 430- Generic CPU options: 431 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 432 433 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 434 values is arch specific. 435 436- Intel Monahans options: 437 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 438 439 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 440 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 441 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 442 443 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 444 445 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 446 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 447 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 448 by this value. 449 450- MIPS CPU options: 451 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 452 453 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 454 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 455 relocation. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 458 459 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 460 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 461 Possible values are: 462 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 463 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 464 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 465 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 466 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 467 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 468 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 469 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 470 471 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 472 473 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 474 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 475 476 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 477 478 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 479 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 480 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 481 482- ARM options: 483 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 484 485 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 486 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 487 488 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 489 490 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 491 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 492 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 493 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 494 GCC. 495 496 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 497 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 498 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 500 501 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 502 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 503 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 504 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 505 set these options unless they apply! 506 507- CPU timer options: 508 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 509 510 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 511 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 512 option must be set to 1000. 513 514- Linux Kernel Interface: 515 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 516 517 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 518 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 519 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 520 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 521 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 522 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 523 Linux kernel. 524 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 525 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 526 default environment. 527 528 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 529 530 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 531 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 532 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 533 534 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 535 536 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 537 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 538 concepts). 539 540 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 541 * New libfdt-based support 542 * Adds the "fdt" command 543 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 544 545 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 546 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 547 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 548 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 549 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 550 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 551 552 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 553 addresses 554 555 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 556 557 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 558 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 559 560 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 561 562 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 563 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 564 565 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 566 567 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 568 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 569 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 570 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 571 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 572 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 573 574 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 575 576 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 577 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 578 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 579 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 580 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 581 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 582 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 583 584- vxWorks boot parameters: 585 586 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 587 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 588 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 589 590 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 591 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 592 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 593 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 594 595 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 596 597 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 598 599 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 600 the defaults discussed just above. 601 602- Cache Configuration: 603 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 604 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 605 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 606 607- Cache Configuration for ARM: 608 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 609 controller 610 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 611 controller register space 612 613- Serial Ports: 614 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 615 616 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 617 618 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 619 620 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 621 622 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 623 624 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 625 the clock speed of the UARTs. 626 627 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 628 629 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 630 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 631 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 632 633 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 634 635 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 636 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 637 this variable to initialize the extra register. 638 639 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 640 641 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 642 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 643 variable to flush the UART at init time. 644 645 646- Console Interface: 647 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 648 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 649 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 650 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 651 652 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 653 port routines must be defined elsewhere 654 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 655 656 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 657 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 658 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 659 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 660 (default big endian) 661 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 662 rectangle fill 663 (cf. smiLynxEM) 664 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 665 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 666 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 667 (cols=pitch) 668 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 669 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 670 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 671 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 672 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 673 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 674 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 675 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 676 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 677 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 678 (i.e. i8042_getc) 679 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 680 (requires blink timer 681 cf. i8042.c) 682 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 683 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 684 upper right corner 685 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 686 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 687 upper left corner 688 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 689 linux_logo.h for logo. 690 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 691 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 692 additional board info beside 693 the logo 694 695 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 696 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 697 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 698 699 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 700 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 701 environment 'console=serial'. 702 703 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 704 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 705 the "silent" environment variable. See 706 doc/README.silent for more information. 707 708 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 709 is 0x00. 710 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 711 is 0xa0. 712 713- Console Baudrate: 714 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 715 Select one of the baudrates listed in 716 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 717 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 718 719- Console Rx buffer length 720 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 721 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 722 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 723 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 724 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 725 the SMC. 726 727- Pre-Console Buffer: 728 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 729 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 730 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 731 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 732 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 733 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 734 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 735 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 736 earlier bytes are discarded. 737 738 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 739 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 740 741- Safe printf() functions 742 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 743 the printf() functions. These are defined in 744 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 745 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 746 If this option is not given then these functions will 747 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 748 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 749 750- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 751 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 752 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 753 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 754 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 755 756 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 757 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 758 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 759 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 761 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 762 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 763 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 764 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 765 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 766 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 767 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 768 769- Autoboot Command: 770 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 771 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 772 define a command string that is automatically executed 773 when no character is read on the console interface 774 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 775 776 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 777 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 778 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 779 environment value "bootargs". 780 781 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 782 The value of these goes into the environment as 783 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 784 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 785 RAM and NFS. 786 787- Pre-Boot Commands: 788 CONFIG_PREBOOT 789 790 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 791 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 792 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 793 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 794 entering interactive mode. 795 796 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 797 automatically generated or modified. For an example 798 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 799 modified when the user holds down a certain 800 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 801 booting the systems 802 803- Serial Download Echo Mode: 804 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 805 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 806 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 807 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 808 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 809 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 810 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 811 812- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 813 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 814 Select one of the baudrates listed in 815 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 816 817- Monitor Functions: 818 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 819 from the build by using the #include files 820 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 821 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 822 and augmenting with additional #define's 823 for wanted commands. 824 825 The default command configuration

(flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 938 939 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 940 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 941 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 942 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 943 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 944 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 945 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 946 initial stack and some data. 947 948 949 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 950 951- Regular expression support: 952 CONFIG_REGEX 953 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 954 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 955 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 956 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 957 958- Device tree: 959 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 960 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 961 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 962 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 963 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 964 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 965 966 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 967 be done using one of the two options below: 968 969 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 970 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 971 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 972 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 973 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 974 the global data structure as gd->blob. 975 976 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 977 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 978 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 979 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 980 981 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 982 983 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 984 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 985 still use the individual files if you need something more 986 exotic. 987 988- Watchdog: 989 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 990 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 991 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 992 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 993 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 994 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 995 available, then no further board specific code should 996 be needed to use it. 997 998 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 999 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1000 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1001 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1002 1003- U-Boot Version: 1004 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1005 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1006 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1007 version as printed by the "version" command. 1008 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1009 next reset. 1010 1011- Real-Time Clock: 1012 1013 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1014 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1015 following options: 1016 1017 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1018 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1019 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1020 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1021 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1022 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1023 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1024 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1025 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1026 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1027 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1028 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1029 RV3029 RTC. 1030 1031 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1032 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1033 1034- GPIO Support: 1035 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1036 1037 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1038 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1039 pins supported by a particular chip. 1040 1041 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1042 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1043 1044- Timestamp Support: 1045 1046 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1047 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1048 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1049 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1050 1051- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1052 Zero or more of the following: 1053 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1054 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1055 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1056 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1057 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1058 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1059 disk/part_efi.c 1060 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1061 1062 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1063 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1064 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1065 1066- IDE Reset method: 1067 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1068 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1069 1070 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1071 be performed by calling the function 1072 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1073 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1074 1075- ATAPI Support: 1076 CONFIG_ATAPI 1077 1078 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1079 1080- LBA48 Support 1081 CONFIG_LBA48 1082 1083 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1084 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1085 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1086 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1087 1088 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1089 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1090 Default is 32bit. 1091 1092- SCSI Support: 1093 At the moment only there is only support for the 1094 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1095 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1096 1097 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1098 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1099 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1100 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1101 devices. 1102 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1103 1104 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1105 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1106 1107- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1108 CONFIG_E1000 1109 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1110 1111 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1112 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1113 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1114 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1115 1116 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1117 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1118 example with the "sspi" command. 1119 1120 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1121 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1122 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1123 1124 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1125 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1126 1127 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1128 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1129 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1130 write routine for first time initialisation. 1131 1132 CONFIG_TULIP 1133 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1134 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1135 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1136 1137 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1138 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1139 1140 CONFIG_NS8382X 1141 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1142 1143- NETWORK Support (other): 1144 1145 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1146 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1147 1148 CONFIG_RMII 1149 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1150 1151 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1152 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1153 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1154 1155 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1156 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1157 1158 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1159 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1160 1161 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1162 Define this to hold the physical address 1163 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1164 1165 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1166 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1167 1168 CONFIG_SMC91111 1169 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1170 1171 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1172 Define this to hold the physical address 1173 of the device (I/O space) 1174 1175 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1176 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1177 1178 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1179 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1180 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1181 1182 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1183 Support for davinci emac 1184 1185 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1186 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1187 1188 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1189 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1190 1191 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1192 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1193 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1194 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1195 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1196 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1197 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1198 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1199 1200 CONFIG_SMC911X 1201 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1202 1203 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1204 Define this to hold the physical address 1205 of the device (I/O space) 1206 1207 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1208 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1209 1210 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1211 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1212 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1213 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1214 1215 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1216 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1217 1218 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1219 Define the number of ports to be used 1220 1221 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1222 Define the ETH PHY's address 1223 1224 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1225 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1226 1227- TPM Support: 1228 CONFIG_TPM 1229 Support TPM devices. 1230 1231 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1232 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1233 per system is supported at this time. 1234 1235 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1236 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1237 1238 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1239 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1240 1241 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1242 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1243 1244 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1245 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1246 1247 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1248 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1249 per system is supported at this time. 1250 1251 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1252 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1253 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1254 0xfed40000. 1255 1256 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1257 Add tpm monitor functions. 1258 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1259 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1260 1261 CONFIG_TPM 1262 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1263 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1264 Requires support for a TPM device. 1265 1266 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1267 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1268 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1269 1270- USB Support: 1271 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1272 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1273 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1274 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1275 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1276 storage devices. 1277 Note: 1278 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1279 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1280 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1281 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1282 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1283 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1284 for USB on PSC3 1285 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1286 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1287 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1288 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1289 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1290 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1291 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1292 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1293 1294 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1295 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1296 1297 CONFIG_USB_HUB_MIN_POWER_ON_DELAY defines the minimum 1298 interval for usb hub power-on delay.(minimum 100msec) 1299 1300- USB Device: 1301 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1302 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1303 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1304 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1305 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1306 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1307 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1308 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1309 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1310 a Linux host by 1311 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1312 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1313 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1314 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1315 1316 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1317 Define this to build a UDC device 1318 1319 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1320 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1321 talk to the UDC device 1322 1323 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1324 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1325 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1326 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1327 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1328 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1329 speed. 1330 1331 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1332 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1333 be set to usbtty. 1334 1335 mpc8xx: 1336 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1337 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1338 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1339 1340 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1341 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1342 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1343 1344 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1345 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1346 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1347 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1348 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1349 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1350 1351 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1352 Define this string as the name of your company for 1353 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1354 1355 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1356 Define this string as the name of your product 1357 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1358 1359 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1360 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1361 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1362 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1363 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1364 1365 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1366 Define this as the unique Product ID 1367 for your device 1368 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1369 1370 Some USB device drivers may need to check USB cable attachment. 1371 In this case you can enable following config in BoardName.h: 1372 CONFIG_USB_CABLE_CHECK 1373 This enables function definition: 1374 - usb_cable_connected() in include/usb.h 1375 Implementation of this function is board-specific. 1376 1377- ULPI Layer Support: 1378 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1379 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1380 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1381 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1382 viewport is supported. 1383 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1384 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1385 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1386 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1387 the appropriate value in Hz. 1388 1389- MMC Support: 1390 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1391 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1392 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1393 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1394 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1395 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1396 1397 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1398 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1399 1400 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1401 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1402 1403 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1404 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1405 1406- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1407 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1408 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1409 1410 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1411 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1412 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1413 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1414 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1415 1416 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1417 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1418 1419 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1420 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1421 1422 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1423 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1424 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1425 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1426 one that would help mostly the developer. 1427 1428 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1429 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1430 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1431 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1432 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1433 1434 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1435 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1436 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1437 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1438 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1439 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1440 1441- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1442 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1443 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1444 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1445 1446 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1447 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1448 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1449 1450 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1451 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1452 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1453 1454 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1455 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1456 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1457 have not defined a custom partition 1458 1459- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1460 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1461 1462 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1463 file in FAT formatted partition. 1464 1465 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1466 user to write files to FAT. 1467 1468CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1469 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1470 1471 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1472 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1473 and cbfsload. 1474 1475- Keyboard Support: 1476 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1477 1478 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1479 support 1480 1481 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1482 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1483 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1484 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1485 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1486 1487 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1488 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1489 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1490 which provides key scans on request. 1491 1492- Video support: 1493 CONFIG_VIDEO 1494 1495 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1496 video). 1497 1498 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1499 1500 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1501 1502 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1503 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1504 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1505 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1506 assumed. 1507 1508 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1509 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1510 are possible: 1511 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1512 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1513 1514 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1515 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1516 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1517 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1518 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1519 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1520 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1521 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1522 1523 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1524 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1525 1526 1527 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1528 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1529 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1530 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1531 1532 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1533 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1534 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1535 support, and should also define these other macros: 1536 1537 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1538 CONFIG_VIDEO 1539 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1540 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1541 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1542 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1543 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1544 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1545 1546 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1547 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1548 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1549 description of this variable. 1550 1551 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1552 1553 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1554 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1555 driver. 1556 1557 1558- Keyboard Support: 1559 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1560 1561 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1562 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1563 defined in your board-specific files. 1564 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1565 1566- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1567 1568 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1569 display); also select one of the supported displays 1570 by defining one of these: 1571 1572 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1573 1574 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1575 1576 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1577 1578 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1579 1580 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1581 1582 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1583 Active, color, single scan. 1584 1585 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1586 1587 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1588 Active, color, single scan. 1589 1590 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1591 1592 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1593 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1594 1595 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1596 1597 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1598 Active, color, single scan. 1599 1600 CONFIG_HLD1045 1601 1602 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1603 Active, color, single scan. 1604 1605 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1606 1607 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1608 or 1609 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1610 or 1611 Hitachi SP14Q002 1612 1613 320x240. Black & white. 1614 1615 Normally display is black on white background; define 1616 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1617 1618 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1619 1620 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1621 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1622 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1623 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1624 a per-section basis. 1625 1626 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1627 1628 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1629 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1630 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1631 is slow. 1632 1633 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1634 1635 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1636 1637 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1638 1639 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1640 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1641 1642- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1643 1644 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1645 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1646 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1647 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1648 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1649 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1650 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1651 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1652 1653 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1654 1655 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1656 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1657 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). 1658 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1659 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1660 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1661 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1662 there is no need to set this option. 1663 1664 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1665 1666 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1667 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1668 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1669 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1670 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1671 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1672 1673 Example: 1674 setenv splashpos m,m 1675 => image at center of screen 1676 1677 setenv splashpos 30,20 1678 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1679 1680 setenv splashpos -10,m 1681 => vertically centered image 1682 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1683 1684- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1685 1686 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1687 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1688 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1689 1690- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1691 1692 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1693 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1694 bmp command. 1695 1696- Do compresssing for memory range: 1697 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1698 1699 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1700 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1701 1702- Compression support: 1703 CONFIG_GZIP 1704 1705 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 1706 1707 CONFIG_BZIP2 1708 1709 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1710 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1711 compressed images are supported. 1712 1713 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1714 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1715 be at least 4MB. 1716 1717 CONFIG_LZMA 1718 1719 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1720 images is included. 1721 1722 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1723 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1724 formula: 1725 1726 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1727 1728 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1729 and Literal pos bits. 1730 1731 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1732 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1733 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1734 a very small buffer. 1735 1736 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1737 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1738 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1739 1740 CONFIG_LZO 1741 1742 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 1743 is included. 1744 1745- MII/PHY support: 1746 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1747 1748 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1749 1750 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1751 1752 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1753 1754 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1755 1756 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1757 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1758 1759 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1760 1761 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1762 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1763 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1764 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1765 1766 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1767 1768 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1769 command issued before MII status register can be read 1770 1771- Ethernet address: 1772 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1773 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1774 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1775 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1776 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1777 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1778 1779 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1780 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1781 is not determined automatically. 1782 1783- IP address: 1784 CONFIG_IPADDR 1785 1786 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1787 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1788 determined through e.g. bootp. 1789 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1790 1791- Server IP address: 1792 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1793 1794 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1795 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1796 (Environment variable "serverip") 1797 1798 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1799 1800 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1801 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1802 1803- Gateway IP address: 1804 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1805 1806 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1807 default router where packets to other networks are 1808 sent to. 1809 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1810 1811- Subnet mask: 1812 CONFIG_NETMASK 1813 1814 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1815 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1816 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1817 forwarded through a router. 1818 (Environment variable "netmask") 1819 1820- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1821 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1822 1823 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1824 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1825 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1826 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1827 multicast group. 1828 1829- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1830 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1831 1832 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1833 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1834 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1835 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1836 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1837 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1838 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1839 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1840 following delays are inserted then: 1841 1842 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1843 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1844 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1845 4th and following 1846 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1847 1848- DHCP Advanced Options: 1849 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1850 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1851 1852 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1853 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1854 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1855 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1856 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1857 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1858 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1859 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1860 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1861 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1862 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1863 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1864 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1865 1866 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1867 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1868 1869 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1870 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1871 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1872 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1873 is not available. 1874 1875 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1876 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1877 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1878 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1879 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1880 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1881 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1882 is defined. 1883 1884 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1885 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1886 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1887 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1888 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1889 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1890 1891 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1892 1893 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1894 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1895 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1896 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1897 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1898 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1899 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1900 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1901 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1902 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1903 this delay. 1904 1905 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1906 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1907 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1908 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1909 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1910 1911 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1912 1913 - CDP Options: 1914 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1915 1916 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1917 1918 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1919 1920 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1921 of the device. 1922 1923 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1924 1925 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1926 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1927 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1928 1929 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1930 1931 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1932 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1933 1934 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1935 1936 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1937 1938 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1939 1940 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1941 1942 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1943 1944 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1945 1946 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1947 1948 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1949 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1950 1951 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1952 1953 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1954 1955- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1956 1957 Several configurations allow to display the current 1958 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1959 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1960 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1961 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1962 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1963 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1964 feature in U-Boot. 1965 1966 Additional options: 1967 1968 CONFIG_GPIO_LED 1969 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 1970 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 1971 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED 1972 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 1973 1974- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1975 1976 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1977 on those systems that support this (optional) 1978 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1979 1980- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 1981 1982 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 1983 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 1984 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 1985 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 1986 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 1987 interface. 1988 1989 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 1990 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 1991 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 1992 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 1993 for defining speed and slave address 1994 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 1995 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 1996 for defining speed and slave address 1997 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 1998 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 1999 for defining speed and slave address 2000 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2001 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2002 for defining speed and slave address 2003 2004 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2005 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2006 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2007 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2008 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2009 bus. 2010 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2011 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2012 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2013 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2014 second bus. 2015 2016 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2017 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2018 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2019 100000 and the slave addr 0! 2020 2021 - drivers/i2c/ppc4xx_i2c.c 2022 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX 2023 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX_CH0 activate hardware channel 0 2024 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX_CH1 activate hardware channel 1 2025 2026 - drivers/i2c/i2c_mxc.c 2027 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MXC 2028 - define speed for bus 1 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C1_SPEED 2029 - define slave for bus 1 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C1_SLAVE 2030 - define speed for bus 2 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C2_SPEED 2031 - define slave for bus 2 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C2_SLAVE 2032 - define speed for bus 3 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C3_SPEED 2033 - define slave for bus 3 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C3_SLAVE 2034 If thoses defines are not set, default value is 100000 2035 for speed, and 0 for slave. 2036 2037 - drivers/i2c/rcar_i2c.c: 2038 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RCAR 2039 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses 2040 2041 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C0_BASE for setting the register channel 0 2042 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C0_SPEED for for the speed channel 0 2043 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C1_BASE for setting the register channel 1 2044 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C1_SPEED for for the speed channel 1 2045 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C2_BASE for setting the register channel 2 2046 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C2_SPEED for for the speed channel 2 2047 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C3_BASE for setting the register channel 3 2048 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C3_SPEED for for the speed channel 3 2049 - CONFIF_SYS_RCAR_I2C_NUM_CONTROLLERS for number of i2c buses 2050 2051 - drivers/i2c/sh_i2c.c: 2052 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH 2053 - This driver adds from 2 to 5 i2c buses 2054 2055 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_BASE0 for setting the register channel 0 2056 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_SPEED0 for for the speed channel 0 2057 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_BASE1 for setting the register channel 1 2058 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_SPEED1 for for the speed channel 1 2059 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_BASE2 for setting the register channel 2 2060 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_SPEED2 for for the speed channel 2 2061 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_BASE3 for setting the register channel 3 2062 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_SPEED3 for for the speed channel 3 2063 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_BASE4 for setting the register channel 4 2064 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_SPEED4 for for the speed channel 4 2065 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_BASE5 for setting the register channel 5 2066 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SH_SPEED5 for for the speed channel 5 2067 - CONFIF_SYS_I2C_SH_NUM_CONTROLLERS for nummber of i2c buses 2068 2069 - drivers/i2c/omap24xx_i2c.c 2070 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_OMAP24XX 2071 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SPEED speed channel 0 2072 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SLAVE slave addr channel 0 2073 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SPEED1 speed channel 1 2074 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SLAVE1 slave addr channel 1 2075 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SPEED2 speed channel 2 2076 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SLAVE2 slave addr channel 2 2077 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SPEED3 speed channel 3 2078 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SLAVE3 slave addr channel 3 2079 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SPEED4 speed channel 4 2080 - CONFIG_SYS_OMAP24_I2C_SLAVE4 slave addr channel 4 2081 2082 - drivers/i2c/zynq_i2c.c 2083 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_ZYNQ 2084 - set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_ZYNQ_SPEED for speed setting 2085 - set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_ZYNQ_SLAVE for slave addr 2086 2087 additional defines: 2088 2089 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES 2090 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you 2091 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2092 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2093 omit this define. 2094 2095 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2096 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2097 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2098 omit this define. 2099 2100 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2101 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2102 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2103 define. 2104 2105 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2106 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if 2107 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2108 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2109 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2110 2111 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2112 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2113 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2114 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2115 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2116 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2117 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2118 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2119 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2120 } 2121 2122 which defines 2123 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2124 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2125 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2126 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2127 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2128 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2129 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2130 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2131 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2132 2133 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2134 2135- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2136 2137 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2138 provides the following compelling advantages: 2139 2140 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2141 - approved multibus support 2142 - better i2c mux support 2143 2144 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2145 2146 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2147 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2148 for the selected CPU. 2149 2150 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2151 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2152 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2153 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2154 command line interface. 2155 2156 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2157 2158 There are several other quantities that must also be 2159 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2160 2161 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2162 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2163 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2164 the CPU's i2c node address). 2165 2166 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2167 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2168 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2169 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2170 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2171 2172 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2173 2174 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2175 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2176 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2177 commands until the slave device responds. 2178 2179 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2180 2181 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2182 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2183 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2184 2185 I2C_INIT 2186 2187 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2188 controller or configure ports. 2189 2190 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2191 2192 I2C_PORT 2193 2194 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2195 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2196 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2197 2198 I2C_ACTIVE 2199 2200 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2201 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2202 define can be null. 2203 2204 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2205 2206 I2C_TRISTATE 2207 2208 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2209 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2210 define can be null. 2211 2212 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2213 2214 I2C_READ 2215 2216 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2217 false if it is low. 2218 2219 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2220 2221 I2C_SDA(bit) 2222 2223 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2224 is false, it clears it (low). 2225 2226 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2227 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2228 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2229 2230 I2C_SCL(bit) 2231 2232 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2233 is false, it clears it (low). 2234 2235 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2236 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2237 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2238 2239 I2C_DELAY 2240 2241 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2242 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2243 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2244 like: 2245 2246 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2247 2248 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2249 2250 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2251 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2252 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2253 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2254 2255 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2256 the generic GPIO functions. 2257 2258 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2259 2260 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2261 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2262 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2263 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2264 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2265 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2266 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2267 is run early in the boot sequence. 2268 2269 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2270 2271 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2272 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2273 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2274 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2275 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2276 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2277 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2278 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2279 2280 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2281 2282 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2283 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2284 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2285 2286 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2287 2288 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2289 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2290 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2291 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2292 2293 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2294 2295 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2296 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2297 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2298 a 1D array of device addresses 2299 2300 e.g. 2301 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2302 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2303 2304 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2305 2306 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2307 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2308 2309 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2310 2311 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2312 2313 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2314 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2315 2316 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2317 2318 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2319 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2320 2321 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2322 2323 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2324 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2325 2326 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2327 2328 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2329 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2330 specified DTT device. 2331 2332 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2333 2334 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2335 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2336 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2337 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2338 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2339 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2340 the other. 2341 2342- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2343 2344 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2345 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2346 D/As on the SACSng board) 2347 2348 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2349 2350 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2351 only SH7757 is supported. 2352 2353 CONFIG_SPI_X 2354 2355 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2356 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2357 2358 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2359 2360 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2361 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2362 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2363 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2364 defined, the board configuration must define several 2365 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2366 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2367 2368 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2369 2370 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2371 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2372 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2373 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2374 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2375 2376 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2377 2378 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2379 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2380 2381- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2382 2383 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2384 2385 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2386 2387 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2388 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2389 2390 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2391 2392 Enables support for FPGA family. 2393 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2394 2395 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2396 2397 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2398 2399 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2400 2401 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2402 2403 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2404 2405 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2406 status by the configuration function. This option 2407 will require a board or device specific function to 2408 be written. 2409 2410 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2411 2412 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2413 configuration driver. 2414 2415 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2416 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2417 2418 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2419 2420 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2421 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2422 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2423 indicated a CRC error). 2424 2425 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2426 2427 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2428 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2429 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2430 ms. 2431 2432 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2433 2434 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2435 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2436 2437 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2438 2439 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2440 200 ms. 2441 2442- Configuration Management: 2443 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2444 2445 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2446 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2447 2448- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2449 2450 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2451 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2452 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2453 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2454 protects these variables from casual modification by 2455 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2456 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2457 change this behaviour: 2458 2459 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2460 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2461 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2462 these parameters. 2463 2464 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2465 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2466 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2467 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2468 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2469 read-only.] 2470 2471 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2472 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2473 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2474 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2475 2476- Protected RAM: 2477 CONFIG_PRAM 2478 2479 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2480 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2481 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2482 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2483 this default value by defining an environment 2484 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2485 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2486 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2487 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2488 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2489 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2490 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2491 2492 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2493 saveenv 2494 2495 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2496 either, which results in a memory region that will 2497 not be affected by reboots. 2498 2499 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2500 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2501 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2502 following board configurations are known to be 2503 "pRAM-clean": 2504 2505 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2506 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2507 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2508 2509- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2510 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2511 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2512 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2513 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2514 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2515 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2516 2517- Error Recovery: 2518 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2519 2520 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2521 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2522 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2523 system where you want the system to reboot 2524 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2525 useful during development since you can try to debug 2526 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2527 2528 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2529 2530 This variable defines the number of retries for 2531 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2532 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2533 default value of 5 is used. 2534 2535 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2536 2537 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2538 2539 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2540 2541 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2542 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2543 try longer timeout such as 2544 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2545 2546- Command Interpreter: 2547 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2548 2549 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2550 2551 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2552 for the "hush" shell. 2553 2554 2555 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2556 2557 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2558 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2559 powerful command line syntax like 2560 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2561 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2562 2563 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2564 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2565 2566 2567 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2568 2569 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2570 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2571 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2572 2573 Note: 2574 2575 In the current implementation, the local variables 2576 space and global environment variables space are 2577 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2578 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2579 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2580 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2581 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2582 2583 Global environment variables are those you use 2584 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2585 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2586 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2587 2588 To store commands and special characters in a 2589 variable, please use double quotation marks 2590 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2591 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2592 symbols. 2593 2594- Commandline Editing and History: 2595 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2596 2597 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2598 commandline input operations 2599 2600- Default Environment: 2601 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2602 2603 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2604 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2605 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2606 2607 For example, place something like this in your 2608 board's config file: 2609 2610 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2611 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2612 "myvar2=value2\0" 2613 2614 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2615 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2616 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2617 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2618 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2619 You better know what you are doing here. 2620 2621 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2622 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2623 the environment like the "source" command or the 2624 boot command first. 2625 2626 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2627 2628 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2629 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2630 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2631 2632 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2633 2634 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2635 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2636 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2637 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2638 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2639 2640 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2641 2642 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2643 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2644 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2645 2646 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2647 2648 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2649 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2650 that so that the environment is not available until 2651 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2652 this is instead controlled by the value of 2653 /config/load-environment. 2654 2655- DataFlash Support: 2656 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2657 2658 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2659 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2660 commands cp, md... 2661 2662- Serial Flash support 2663 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2664 2665 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2666 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2667 2668 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2669 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2670 commands. 2671 2672 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2673 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2674 flash is present on the system. 2675 2676 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2677 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2678 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2679 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2680 2681 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2682 2683 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2684 test ('sf test'). 2685 2686 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 2687 2688 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 2689 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 2690 2691- SystemACE Support: 2692 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2693 2694 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2695 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2696 of the chip must also be defined in the 2697 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2698 2699 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2700 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2701 2702 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2703 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2704 2705- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2706 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2707 2708 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2709 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2710 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2711 number generator is used. 2712 2713 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2714 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2715 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2716 2717 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2718 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2719 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2720 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2721 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2722 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2723 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2724 2725- Hashing support: 2726 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2727 2728 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2729 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2730 2731 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2732 2733 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2734 size a little. 2735 2736 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2737 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2738 2739 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2740 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2741 2742- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 2743 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 2744 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 2745 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 2746 2747 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 2748 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 2749 a boot from specific media. 2750 2751 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 2752 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 2753 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 2754 will set it back to normal. This command currently 2755 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 2756 2757- Signing support: 2758 CONFIG_RSA 2759 2760 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 2761 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information. 2762 2763 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 2764 option. 2765 2766 2767- Show boot progress: 2768 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2769 2770 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2771 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2772 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2773 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2774 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2775 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2776 2777- Detailed boot stage timing 2778 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2779 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2780 of the boot process. 2781 2782 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2783 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2784 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2785 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2786 the limit, recording will stop. 2787 2788 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2789 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2790 2791 Timer summary in microseconds: 2792 Mark Elapsed Stage 2793 0 0 reset 2794 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2795 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2796 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2797 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2798 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2799 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2800 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2801 2802 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2803 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2804 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2805 2806 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2807 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2808 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2809 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2810 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2811 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2812 For example: 2813 2814 bootstage { 2815 154 { 2816 name = "board_init_f"; 2817 mark = <3575678>; 2818 }; 2819 170 { 2820 name = "lcd"; 2821 accum = <33482>; 2822 }; 2823 }; 2824 2825 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2826 2827Legacy uImage format: 2828 2829 Arg Where When 2830 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2831 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

CONFIG_FIT 2982 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 2983 2984 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 2985 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 2986 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 2987 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2988 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2989 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2990 2991 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 2992 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 2993 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See 2994 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 2995 2996- Standalone program support: 2997 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2998 2999 This option defines a board specific value for the 3000 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 3001 overwriting the architecture dependent default 3002 settings. 3003 3004- Frame Buffer Address: 3005 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 3006 3007 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 3008 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 3009 when using a graphics controller has separate video 3010 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 3011 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 3012 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 3013 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 3014 configured panel size. 3015 3016 Please see board_init_f function. 3017 3018- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 3019 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 3020 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 3021 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 3022 3023 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 3024 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 3025 3026- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 3027 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3028 3029 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3030 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3031 3032 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3033 3034 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3035 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3036 3037- UBI support 3038 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3039 3040 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3041 with the UBI flash translation layer 3042 3043 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3044 3045 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3046 3047 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3048 warnings and errors enabled. 3049 3050- UBIFS support 3051 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3052 3053 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3054 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3055 3056 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3057 3058 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3059 3060 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3061 warnings and errors enabled. 3062 3063- SPL framework 3064 CONFIG_SPL 3065 Enable building of SPL globally. 3066 3067 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3068 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3069 3070 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3071 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3072 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3073 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3074 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3075 must not be both defined at the same time. 3076 3077 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3078 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3079 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3080 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3081 not exceed it. 3082 3083 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3084 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3085 3086 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3087 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3088 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3089 3090 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3091 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3092 3093 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3094 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3095 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3096 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3097 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3098 must not be both defined at the same time. 3099 3100 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3101 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3102 3103 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3104 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3105 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3106 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3107 3108 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3109 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3110 3111 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3112 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3113 3114 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3115 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3116 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3117 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3118 3119 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3120 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3121 about the running system. 3122 3123 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3124 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3125 3126 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3127 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3128 3129 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3130 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3131 3132 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3133 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3134 3135 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3136 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3137 3138 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3139 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3140 3141 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3142 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3143 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 3144 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3145 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3146 3147 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3148 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3149 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3150 3151 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3152 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3153 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3154 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3155 (for falcon mode) 3156 3157 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3158 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3159 3160 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3161 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 3162 3163 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3164 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3165 from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3166 3167 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3168 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3169 when reading from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3170 3171 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3172 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3173 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3174 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3175 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3176 3177 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3178 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3179 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3180 3181 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3182 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3183 3184 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3185 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3186 3187 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3188 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3189 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3190 3191 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3192 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3193 arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xxx/ddr/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3194 3195 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3196 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3197 SPL binary. 3198 3199 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3200 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3201 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3202 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3203 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3204 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3205 to read U-Boot 3206 3207 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3208 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3209 3210 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3211 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3212 3213 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3214 Size of image to load 3215 3216 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3217 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3218 3219 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3220 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3221 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3222 3223 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3224 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3225 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3226 3227 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3228 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3229 3230 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3231 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3232 3233 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3234 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3235 3236 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3237 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3238 3239 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3240 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3241 3242 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3243 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3244 3245 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3246 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3247 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3248 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3249 3250 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3251 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3252 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3253 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3254 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3255 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3256 3257 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3258 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3259 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3260 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3261 3262 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3263 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3264 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3265 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3266 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3267 3268- TPL framework 3269 CONFIG_TPL 3270 Enable building of TPL globally. 3271 3272 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3273 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3274 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3275 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3276 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3277 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3278 3279Modem Support: 3280-------------- 3281 3282[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3283 3284- Modem support enable: 3285 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3286 3287- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3288 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3289 3290- Modem debug support: 3291 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3292 3293 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3294 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3295 3296- Interrupt support (PPC): 3297 3298 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3299 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3300 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3301 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3302 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3303 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3304 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3305 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3306 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3307 general timer_interrupt(). 3308 3309- General: 3310 3311 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3312 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3313 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3314 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3315 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3316 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3317 initialization. 3318 3319 If there are no modem init strings in the 3320 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3321 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3322 suppressed, though. 3323 3324 See also: doc/README.Modem 3325 3326Board initialization settings: 3327------------------------------ 3328 3329During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3330to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3331before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3332following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3333architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3334typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3335 3336- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3337- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3338- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3339- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3340 3341Configuration Settings: 3342----------------------- 3343 3344- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3345 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3346 3347- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3348 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3349 3350- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3351 prompt for user input. 3352 3353- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3354 3355- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3356 3357- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3358 3359- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3360 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3361 booted 3362 3363- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3364 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3365 3366- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3367 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3368 3369- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3370 If the board specific function 3371 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3372 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3373 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3374 3375- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3376 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3377 3378- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3379 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3380 3381- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3382 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3383 simple memory test. 3384 3385- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3386 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3387 3388- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3389 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3390 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3391 3392- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3393 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3394 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3395 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3396 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3397 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3398 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3399 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3400 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3401 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3402 3403 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3404 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3405 be touched. 3406 3407 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3408 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3409 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3410 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3411 problems. 3412 3413- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3414 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3415 3416- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3417 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3418 3419- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3420 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3421 Cogent motherboard) 3422 3423- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3424 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3425 3426- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3427 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3428 make config files to be same as the text base address 3429 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3430 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3431 3432- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3433 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3434 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3435 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3436 flash sector. 3437 3438- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3439 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3440 3441- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3442 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3443 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3444 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3445 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3446 3447- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3448 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3449 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3450 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3451 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3452 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3453 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3454 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3455 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3456 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3457 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3458 3459- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3460 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3461 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3462 is enabled. 3463 3464- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3465 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3466 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3467 3468- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3469 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3470 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3471 3472- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3473 Max number of Flash memory banks 3474 3475- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3476 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3477 3478- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3479 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3480 3481- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3482 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3483 3484- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3485 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3486 3487- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3488 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3489 3490- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3491 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3492 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3493 3494- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3495 3496 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3497 without this option such a download has to be 3498 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3499 copy from RAM to flash. 3500 3501 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3502 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3503 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3504 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3505 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3506 3507- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3508 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3509 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3510 3511- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3512 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3513 in the drivers directory 3514 3515- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3516 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3517 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3518 to the MTD layer. 3519 3520- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3521 Use buffered writes to flash. 3522 3523- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3524 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3525 write commands. 3526 3527- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3528 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3529 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3530 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3531 optionally available. 3532 3533- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3534 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3535 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3536 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3537 3538- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3539 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3540 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3541 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3542 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3543 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3544 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3545 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3546 3547- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3548 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3549 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3550 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3551 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3552 on high Ethernet traffic. 3553 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3554 3555- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3556 3557 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3558 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3559 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3560 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3561 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3562 3563- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3564- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3565 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 3566 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3567 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3568 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3569 3570 The format of the list is: 3571 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3572 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3573 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3574 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3575 list = entry[,list] 3576 3577 The type attributes are: 3578 s - String (default) 3579 d - Decimal 3580 x - Hexadecimal 3581 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3582 i - IP address 3583 m - MAC address 3584 3585 The access attributes are: 3586 a - Any (default) 3587 r - Read-only 3588 o - Write-once 3589 c - Change-default 3590 3591 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3592 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3593 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3594 3595 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3596 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3597 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3598 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3599 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3600 ".flags" variable. 3601 3602- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3603 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3604 access flags. 3605 3606- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 3607 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 3608 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 3609 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 3610 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 3611 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 3612 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 3613 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 3614 your board please report the problem and send patches! 3615 3616- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS 3617 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols 3618 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an 3619 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than 3620 directly. You should not need to touch this setting. 3621 3622- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 3623 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 3624 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 3625 the value can be calulated on a given board. 3626 3627The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3628of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3629following configurations: 3630 3631- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3632 3633 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3634 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3635 3636- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3637 3638 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3639 3640 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3641 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3642 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3643 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3644 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3645 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3646 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3647 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3648 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3649 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3650 between U-Boot and the environment. 3651 3652 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3653 3654 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3655 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3656 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3657 for this sector is given here. 3658 3659 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3660 3661 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3662 3663 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3664 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3665 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3666 3667 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3668 3669 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3670 3671 3672 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3673 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3674 the environment. 3675 3676 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3677 3678 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3679 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3680 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3681 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3682 3683 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3684 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3685 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3686 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3687 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3688 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3689 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3690 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3691 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3692 3693 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3694 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3695 3696 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3697 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3698 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3699 a "saveenv" operation. 3700 3701BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3702source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3703accordingly! 3704 3705 3706- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3707 3708 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3709 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3710 environment. 3711 3712 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3713 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3714 3715 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3716 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3717 can just be read and written to, without any special 3718 provision. 3719 3720BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3721in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3722console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3723U-Boot will hang. 3724 3725Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3726environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3727keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3728to save the current settings. 3729 3730 3731- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3732 3733 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3734 device and a driver for it. 3735 3736 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3737 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3738 3739 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3740 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3741 3742 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3743 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3744 The default address is zero. 3745 3746 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3747 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3748 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3749 would require six bits. 3750 3751 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3752 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3753 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3754 3755 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3756 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3757 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3758 3759 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3760 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3761 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3762 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3763 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3764 byte chips. 3765 3766 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3767 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3768 in the chip address. 3769 3770 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3771 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3772 3773 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3774 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3775 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3776 3777 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3778 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3779 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3780 EEPROM. For example: 3781 3782 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 3783 3784 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3785 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3786 3787- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3788 3789 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3790 want to use for the environment. 3791 3792 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3793 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3794 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3795 3796 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3797 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3798 at the specified address. 3799 3800- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3801 3802 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3803 want to use for the local device's environment. 3804 3805 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3806 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3807 3808 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3809 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3810 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3811 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3812 3813BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3814"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3815environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3816but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3817 3818- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3819 3820 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3821 for the environment. 3822 3823 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3824 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3825 3826 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3827 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3828 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3829 3830 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3831 3832 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3833 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3834 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3835 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3836 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3837 3838 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3839 3840 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3841 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3842 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3843 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3844 the range to be avoided. 3845 3846 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3847 3848 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3849 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3850 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3851 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3852 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3853 3854- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3855 3856 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3857 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3858 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3859 3860- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 3861 3862 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 3863 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 3864 accesses, which is important on NAND. 3865 3866 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 3867 3868 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 3869 3870 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 3871 3872 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 3873 environment in. 3874 3875 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 3876 3877 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 3878 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 3879 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 3880 3881 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3882 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3883 3884 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 3885 when storing the env in UBI. 3886 3887- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 3888 3889 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 3890 environment. 3891 3892 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 3893 3894 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 3895 3896 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 3897 3898 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 3899 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 3900 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 3901 3902 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3903 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3904 3905 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3906 area within the specified MMC device. 3907 3908 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 3909 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 3910 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 3911 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 3912 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 3913 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 3914 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 3915 3916 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 3917 MMC sector boundary. 3918 3919 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3920 3921 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 3922 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 3923 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 3924 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 3925 3926 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 3927 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 3928 3929 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 3930 an MMC sector boundary. 3931 3932 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 3933 3934 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 3935 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 3936 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3937 3938- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3939 3940 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3941 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3942 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3943 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3944 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3945 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3946 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3947 3948Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3949has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3950created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3951until then to read environment variables. 3952 3953The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3954is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3955with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3956necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3957"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3958have any device yet where we could complain.] 3959 3960Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3961the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3962use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3963 3964- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3965 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3966 3967 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3968 also needs to be defined. 3969 3970- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3971 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3972 3973- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3974 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3975 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3976 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3977 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3978 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3979 3980- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3981 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3982 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3983 to do this. 3984 3985- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3986 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3987 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3988 present. 3989 3990Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3991--------------------------------------------------- 3992 3993- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3994 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3995 3996- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3997 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3998 3999 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 4000 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 4001 the IMMR register after a reset. 4002 4003- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 4004 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 4005 PowerPC SOCs. 4006 4007- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 4008 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 4009 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 4010 4011 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 4012 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 4013 4014- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 4015 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 4016 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 4017 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 4018 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 4019 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 4020 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 4021 4022 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 4023 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 4024 4025- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 4026 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 4027 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4028 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4029 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4030 4031- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4032 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4033 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4034 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4035 4036- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4037 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4038 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4039 4040- Floppy Disk Support: 4041 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4042 4043 the default drive number (default value 0) 4044 4045 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4046 4047 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4048 (default value 1) 4049 4050 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4051 4052 defines the offset of register from address. It 4053 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4054 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4055 4056 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4057 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4058 default value. 4059 4060 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4061 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4062 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4063 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 4064 initializations. 4065 4066- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4067 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4068 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4069 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4070 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4071 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4072 is requierd. 4073 4074- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4075 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4076 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4077 4078- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4079 4080 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4081 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4082 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4083 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4084 will become available only after programming the 4085 memory controller and running certain initialization 4086 sequences. 4087 4088 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4089 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4090 - MPC824X: data cache 4091 - PPC4xx: data cache 4092 4093- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4094 4095 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4096 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4097 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4098 data is located at the end of the available space 4099 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4100 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4101 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4102 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4103 4104 Note: 4105 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4106 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4107 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4108 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4109 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4110 4111- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4112 4113- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4114 4115- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4116 4117- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4118 4119- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4120 4121- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4122 4123- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4124 SDRAM timing 4125 4126- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4127 periodic timer for refresh 4128 4129- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4130 4131- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4132 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4133 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4134 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4135 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4136 4137- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4138 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4139 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4140 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4141 4142- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4143 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4144 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4145 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4146 4147- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4148 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4149 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4150 4151- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4152 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4153 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4154 4155- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4156 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4157 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4158 4159- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4160 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4161 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4162 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4163 4164- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4165 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4166 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4167 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4168 cpm_8260.h. 4169 4170- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4171 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4172 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4173 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4174 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4175 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4176 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4177 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4178 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4179 4180- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4181 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4182 required. 4183 4184- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4185 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 4186 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4187 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4188 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4189 by coreboot or similar. 4190 4191- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4192 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4193 4194- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4195 Chip has SRIO or not 4196 4197- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4198 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4199 4200- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4201 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4202 4203- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4204 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4205 4206- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4207 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4208 4209- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4210 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4211 4212- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4213 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4214 4215- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4216 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4217 a 16 bit bus. 4218 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4219 Example of drivers that use it: 4220 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4221 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4222 4223- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4224 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4225 a default value will be used. 4226 4227- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4228 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4229 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4230 4231 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4232 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4233 4234- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4235 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4236 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4237 to something your driver can deal with. 4238 4239- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4240 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4241 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4242 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4243 header files or board specific files. 4244 4245- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4246 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4247 4248- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4249 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4250 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4251 4252- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4253 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4254 4255- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4256 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4257 to the given FEC; i. e. 4258 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4259 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4260 4261 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4262 4263- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4264 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4265 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4266 4267- CONFIG_RMII 4268 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4269 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4270 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4271 4272- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4273 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4274 The syntax is: 4275 4276 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4277 4278 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4279 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4280 area should have. 4281 4282- CONFIG_LOOPW 4283 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4284 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4285 4286- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4287 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4288 "md/mw" commands. 4289 Examples: 4290 4291 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4292 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4293 4294 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4295 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4296 4297 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4298 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4299 4300- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4301 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4302 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4303 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4304 relocate itself into RAM. 4305 4306 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4307 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4308 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4309 these initializations itself. 4310 4311- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4312 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4313 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4314 compiling a NAND SPL. 4315 4316- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4317 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4318 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4319 It is loaded by the SPL. 4320 4321- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4322 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4323 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4324 previous 4k of the .text section. 4325 4326- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4327 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4328 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4329 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4330 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4331 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4332 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4333 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4334 4335- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4336 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4337 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4338 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4339 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4340 4341- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4342 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4343 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4344 4345- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4346 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4347 4348 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4349 4350Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4351----------------------------------- 4352 4353The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4354loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4355This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4356are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4357within that device. 4358 4359- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4360 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4361 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4362 is also specified. 4363 4364- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4365 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4366 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4367 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4368 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4369 4370- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4371 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4372 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4373 virtual address in NOR flash. 4374 4375- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4376 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4377 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4378 4379- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4380 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4381 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4382 4383- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4384 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4385 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4386 4387- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4388 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4389 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4390 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4391 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4392 master's memory space. 4393 4394Building the Software: 4395====================== 4396 4397Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4398and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4399all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4400(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4401recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4402which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4403 4404If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4405have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4406you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4407Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4408necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4409 4410 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4411 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4412 4413Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4414 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4415 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4416 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4417 4418 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4419 4420 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4421 be executed on computers running Windows. 4422 4423U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4424sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4425is done by typing: 4426 4427 make NAME_config 4428 4429where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4430rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4431 4432Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4433 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4434 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4435 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4436 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4437 4438 make TQM823L_config 4439 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4440 4441 make TQM823L_LCD_config 4442 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4443 4444 etc. 4445 4446 4447Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4448images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4449 4450- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4451- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4452- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4453 4454By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4455in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4456this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4457 44581. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4459 4460 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4461 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 4462 make O=/tmp/build all 4463 44642. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4465 4466 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4467 make distclean 4468 make NAME_config 4469 make all 4470 4471Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4472variable. 4473 4474 4475Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4476for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4477native "make". 4478 4479 4480If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4481to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4482steps: 4483 44841. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4485 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4486 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 44872. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4488 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4489 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 44903. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4491 your board 44923. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4493 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 44944. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 44955. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4496 to be installed on your target system. 44976. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4498 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4499 4500 4501Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4502============================================================== 4503 4504If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4505or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4506provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4507the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4508official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4509 4510But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4511cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4512the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4513just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4514for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4515select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4516environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4517you can type 4518 4519 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4520 4521or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4522 4523 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4524 4525When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4526U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4527setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4528built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4529<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4530location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4531variable. For example: 4532 4533 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4534 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 4535 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4536 4537With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 4538log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 4539during the whole build process. 4540 4541 4542See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 4543 4544 4545Monitor Commands - Overview: 4546============================ 4547 4548go - start application at address 'addr' 4549run - run commands in an environment variable 4550bootm - boot application image from memory 4551bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 4552bootz - boot zImage from memory 4553tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 4554 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 4555 (and eventually "gatewayip") 4556tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 4557rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 4558diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4559loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4560loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4561md - memory display 4562mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4563nm - memory modify (constant address) 4564mw - memory write (fill) 4565cp - memory copy 4566cmp - memory compare 4567crc32 - checksum calculation 4568i2c - I2C sub-system 4569sspi - SPI utility commands 4570base - print or set address offset 4571printenv- print environment variables 4572setenv - set environment variables 4573saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4574protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4575erase - erase FLASH memory 4576flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4577nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4578bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4579iminfo - print header information for application image 4580coninfo - print console devices and informations 4581ide - IDE sub-system 4582loop - infinite loop on address range 4583loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4584mtest - simple RAM test 4585icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4586dcache - enable or disable data cache 4587reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4588echo - echo args to console 4589version - print monitor version 4590help - print online help 4591? - alias for 'help' 4592 4593 4594Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4595======================================== 4596 4597TODO. 4598 4599For now: just type "help <command>". 4600 4601 4602Environment Variables: 4603====================== 4604 4605U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4606can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4607 4608Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4609"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4610without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4611environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4612working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4613environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4614 4615Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4616 4617List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4618 4619 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4620 4621 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4622 4623 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4624 4625 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4626 4627 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4628 4629 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4630 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4631 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4632 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4633 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4634 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4635 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4636 bootm_mapsize. 4637 4638 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4639 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4640 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4641 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4642 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4643 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4644 used otherwise. 4645 4646 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4647 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4648 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4649 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4650 environment variable. 4651 4652 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4653 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4654 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4655 4656 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4657 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4658 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4659 load any image using TFTP 4660 4661 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4662 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4663 be automatically started (by internally calling 4664 "bootm") 4665 4666 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4667 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4668 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4669 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4670 data. 4671 4672 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4673 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4674 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4675 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4676 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4677 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4678 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4679 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4680 access it during the boot procedure. 4681 4682 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4683 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4684 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4685 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4686 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4687 must be accessible by the kernel. 4688 4689 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4690 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4691 defined. 4692 4693 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4694 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4695 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4696 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4697 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4698 4699 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4700 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4701 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4702 is usually what you want since it allows for 4703 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4704 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4705 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4706 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4707 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4708 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4709 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4710 4711 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4712 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4713 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4714 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4715 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4716 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4717 4718 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4719 4720 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4721 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4722 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4723 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4724 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4725 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4726 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4727 4728 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4729 4730 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4731 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4732 4733 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4734 4735 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4736 4737 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4738 4739 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4740 4741 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4742 4743 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4744 4745 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4746 For example you can do the following 4747 4748 => setenv ethact FEC 4749 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4750 => setenv ethact SCC 4751 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4752 4753 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4754 available network interfaces. 4755 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4756 4757 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4758 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4759 When set to "once" the network operation will 4760 fail when all the available network interfaces 4761 are tried once without success. 4762 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4763 themselves. 4764 4765 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4766 4767 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by 4768 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 4769 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 4770 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 4771 is silent. 4772 4773 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4774 UDP source port. 4775 4776 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4777 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4778 4779 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4780 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4781 4782 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4783 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4784 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4785 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4786 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4787 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4788 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4789 4790 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4791 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4792 VLAN tagged frames. 4793 4794The following image location variables contain the location of images 4795used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4796not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4797variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4798server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4799loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4800flash or offset in NAND flash. 4801 4802*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4803boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4804boards use these variables for other purposes. 4805 4806Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4807----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4808u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4809Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4810device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4811ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4812 4813The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4814updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4815depending the information provided by your boot server: 4816 4817 bootfile - see above 4818 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4819 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4820 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4821 hostname - Target hostname 4822 ipaddr - see above 4823 netmask - Subnet Mask 4824 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4825 serverip - see above 4826 4827 4828There are two special Environment Variables: 4829 4830 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4831 as type string and/or serial number 4832 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4833 4834These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4835the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4836once they have been set once. 4837 4838 4839Further special Environment Variables: 4840 4841 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4842 with the "version" command. This variable is 4843 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4844 4845 4846Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4847only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4848 4849 4850Callback functions for environment variables: 4851--------------------------------------------- 4852 4853For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4854when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4855be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4856deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4857effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4858 4859The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4860U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4861 4862These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4863static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4864in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4865associations. The list must be in the following format: 4866 4867 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4868 list = entry[,list] 4869 4870If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4871Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4872 4873Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4874with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4875override any association in the static list. You can define 4876CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4877".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4878 4879 4880Command Line Parsing: 4881===================== 4882 4883There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4884the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4885 4886Old, simple command line parser: 4887-------------------------------- 4888 4889- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4890- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4891- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4892- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4893 for example: 4894 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4895- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4896 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4897 4898Hush shell: 4899----------- 4900 4901- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4902 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4903 until...do...done, ... 4904- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4905 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4906 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4907 command 4908 4909General rules: 4910-------------- 4911 4912(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4913 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4914 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4915 executed anyway. 4916 4917(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4918 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4919 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4920 variables are not executed. 4921 4922Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4923======================================= 4924 4925Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4926such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4927"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4928 4929Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4930MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4931"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4932 4933If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4934in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4935ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4936variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4937 4938o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4939 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4940 4941o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4942 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4943 used. 4944 4945o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4946 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4947 4948o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4949 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4950 warning is printed. 4951 4952o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4953 is raised. 4954 4955If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4956will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4957may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4958The naming convention is as follows: 4959"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4960 4961Image Formats: 4962============== 4963 4964U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4965images in two formats: 4966 4967New uImage format (FIT) 4968----------------------- 4969 4970Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4971to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4972components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4973SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4974 4975 4976Old uImage format 4977----------------- 4978 4979Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4980preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4981details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4982 4983* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4984 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4985 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4986 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4987 INTEGRITY). 4988* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4989 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4990 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4991* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4992* Load Address 4993* Entry Point 4994* Image Name 4995* Image Timestamp 4996 4997The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4998and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4999CRC32 checksums. 5000 5001 5002Linux Support: 5003============== 5004 5005Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 5006easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 5007U-Boot. 5008 5009U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 5010special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 5011"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 5012instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 5013serves several purposes: 5014 5015- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 5016 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 5017 Flash memory footprint) 5018 5019- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 5020 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 5021 5022- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 5023 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 5024 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5025 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5026 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5027 software is easier now. 5028 5029 5030Linux HOWTO: 5031============ 5032 5033Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5034--------------------------------------- 5035 5036U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5037configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5038(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5039Linux :-). 5040 5041But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5042 5043Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5044include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5045Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5046and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5047as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5048 5049 5050Configuring the Linux kernel: 5051----------------------------- 5052 5053No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5054device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5055 5056 5057Building a Linux Image: 5058----------------------- 5059 5060With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5061not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5062"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5063U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5064which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5065100% compatible format. 5066 5067Example: 5068 5069 make TQM850L_config 5070 make oldconfig 5071 make dep 5072 make uImage 5073 5074The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5075encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5076CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5077 5078* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5079 5080* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5081 5082 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5083 -R .note -R .comment \ 5084 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5085 5086* compress the binary image: 5087 5088 gzip -9 linux.bin 5089 5090* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5091 5092 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5093 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5094 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5095 5096 5097The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5098with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5099combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5100byte header containing information about target architecture, 5101operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5102stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5103 5104"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5105print the header information, or to build new images. 5106 5107In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5108contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5109checksum verification: 5110 5111 tools/mkimage -l image 5112 -l ==> list image header information 5113 5114The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5115from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5116 5117 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5118 -n name -d data_file image 5119 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5120 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5121 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5122 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5123 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5124 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5125 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5126 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5127 5128Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5129address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5130kernel version: 5131 5132- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5133- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5134 5135So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5136 5137 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5138 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5139 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5140 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5141 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5142 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5143 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5144 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5145 Load Address: 0x00000000 5146 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5147 5148To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5149 5150 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5151 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5152 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5153 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5154 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5155 Load Address: 0x00000000 5156 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5157 5158NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5159speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5160needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5161need to be uncompressed: 5162 5163 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5164 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5165 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5166 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5167 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5168 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5169 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5170 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5171 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5172 Load Address: 0x00000000 5173 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5174 5175 5176Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5177when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5178 5179 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5180 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5181 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5182 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5183 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5184 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5185 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5186 Load Address: 0x00000000 5187 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5188 5189 5190Installing a Linux Image: 5191------------------------- 5192 5193To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5194you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5195 5196 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5197 5198The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5199image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5200address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5381 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5382 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5383 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5384 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5385 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5386 being started. 5387 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5388 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5389 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5390 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5391 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5392 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5393 5394 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5395 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5396 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5397 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5398 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5399 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5400 5401 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5402 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5403 flash memory. 5404 5405 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5406 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5407 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5408 as command interpreter. 5409 5410Booting the Linux zImage: 5411------------------------- 5412 5413On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5414using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5415as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5416 5417Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5418kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5419address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5420format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5421 5422 5423Standalone HOWTO: 5424================= 5425 5426One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5427run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5428U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5429 5430Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5431 5432"Hello World" Demo: 5433------------------- 5434 5435'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5436application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5437It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5438like that: 5439 5440 => loads 5441 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5442 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5443 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5444 [file transfer complete] 5445 [connected] 5446 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5447 5448 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5469controlled by the following keys: 5470 5471 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5472 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5473 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5474 q - quit application 5475 5476 => loads 5477 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5478 ~>examples/timer.srec 5479 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5480 [file transfer complete] 5481 [connected] 5482 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5483 5484 => go 40004 5485 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5486 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5487 Using timer 1 5488 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5489 5490Hit 'b': 5491 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5492 Enabling timer 5493Hit '?': 5494 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5495 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5496Hit '?': 5497 [q, b, e, ?] . 5498 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5499Hit '?': 5500 [q, b, e, ?] . 5501 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5502Hit '?': 5503 [q, b, e, ?] . 5504 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5505Hit 'e': 5506 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5507Hit 'q': 5508 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5509 5510 5511Minicom warning: 5512================ 5513 5514Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5515"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5516consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5517Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5518especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5519use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5520http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5521for help with kermit. 5522 5523 5524Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5525configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5526 5527 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5544 5545 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5546 # mkdir powerpc 5547 # ln -s powerpc machine 5548 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5549 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5550 5551Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5552and U-Boot include files. 5553 5554Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5555stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5556proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5557tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5558meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5559 5560 5561Implementation Internals: 5562========================= 5563 5564The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5565implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5566inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5567hardware. 5568 5569 5570Initial Stack, Global Data: 5571--------------------------- 5572 5573The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5574starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5575system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5576This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5577is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5578at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5579options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5580models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5581MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5582locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5583 5584 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5585 U-Boot mailing list: 5586 5587 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5588 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5589 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5590 ... 5591 5592 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5593 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5594 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5595 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5596 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5597 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5598 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5599 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5600 5601 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5602 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5603 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5604 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5605 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5606 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5607 used. 5608 5609 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5610 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5611 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5612 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5613 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5614 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5615 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5616 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5617 you get the config right. 5618 5619 -Chris Hallinan 5620 DS4.COM, Inc. 5621 5622It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5623code for the initialization procedures: 5624 5625* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5626 to write it. 5627 5628* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5629 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5630 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5631 5632* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5633 that. 5634 5635Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5636normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5637turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5638simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5639functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5640functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5641the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5642place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5643reserve for this purpose. 5644 5645When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5646relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5647GCC's implementation. 5648 5649For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5650 R1: stack pointer 5651 R2: reserved for system use 5652 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5653 R5-R10: parameter passing 5654 R13: small data area pointer 5655 R30: GOT pointer 5656 R31: frame pointer 5657 5658 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5659 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5660 going back and forth between asm and C) 5661 5662 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5663 5664 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5665 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5666 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5667 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5668 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5669 624 text + 127 data). 5670 5671On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5672 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5673 5674 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5675 5676On ARM, the following registers are used: 5677 5678 R0: function argument word/integer result 5679 R1-R3: function argument word 5680 R9: platform specific 5681 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 5682 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5683 R12: temporary workspace 5684 R13: stack pointer 5685 R14: link register 5686 R15: program counter 5687 5688 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 5689 5690 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 5691 5692On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5693 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5694 5695 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5696 5697 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5698 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5699 5700On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5701 5702 R0-R1: argument/return 5703 R2-R5: argument 5704 R15: temporary register for assembler 5705 R16: trampoline register 5706 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5707 R29: global pointer (GP) 5708 R30: link register (LP) 5709 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5710 PC: program counter (PC) 5711 5712 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5713 5714NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5715or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5716 5717Memory Management: 5718------------------ 5719 5720U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5721MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5722 5723The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5724controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5725memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5726physical memory banks. 5727 5728U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5729TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5730booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5731to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5732memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5733configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5734Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5735 5736Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5737of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5738 5739So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5740this: 5741 5742 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5743 : 5744 0x0000 1FFF 5745 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5746 : 5747 : 5748 5749 : 5750 : 5751 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5752 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5753 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5754 : 5755 0x00FD FFFF 5756 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5757 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5758 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5759 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5760 5761 5762System Initialization: 5763---------------------- 5764 5765In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5766(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5767configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5768To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5769To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5770initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5771which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5772part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5773the caches and the SIU. 5774 5775Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5776preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5777(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5778on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5779programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5780simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5781banks. 5782 5783When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5784different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5785bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 57860x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5787contiguous memory starting from 0. 5788 5789Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5790and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5791Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5792pages, and the final stack is set up. 5793 5794Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5795until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5796running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5797new address in RAM. 5798 5799 5800U-Boot Porting Guide: 5801---------------------- 5802 5803[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5804list, October 2002] 5805 5806 5807int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5808{ 5809 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5810 5811 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5812 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5813 5814 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5815 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5816 return 0; 5817 } 5818 5819 Download latest U-Boot source; 5820 5821 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5822 5823 if (clueless) 5824 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5825 5826 while (learning) { 5827 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5828 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5829 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5830 Read the source, Luke; 5831 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5832 } 5833 5834 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5835 Buy a BDI3000; 5836 else 5837 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5838 5839 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5840 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5841 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5842 } else { 5843 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5844 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5845 } 5846 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5847 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5848 5849 while (!accepted) { 5850 while (!running) { 5851 do { 5852 Add / modify source code; 5853 } until (compiles); 5854 Debug; 5855 if (clueless) 5856 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5857 } 5858 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5859 if (reasonable critiques) 5860 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5861 else 5862 Defend code as written; 5863 } 5864 5865 return 0; 5866} 5867 5868void no_more_time (int sig) 5869{ 5870 hire_a_guru(); 5871} 5872 5873 5874Coding Standards: 5875----------------- 5876 5877All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5878coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5879"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5880 5881Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5882MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5883reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5884sources. 5885 5886Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5887Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5888in your code. 5889 5890Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5891- remove any trailing white space 5892- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5893- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5894- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5895- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5896 5897Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5898with a request to reformat the changes. 5899 5900 5901Submitting Patches: 5902------------------- 5903 5904Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5905establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5906may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5907 5908Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5909 5910Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5911see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5912 5913When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5914it: 5915 5916* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5917 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5918 patch actually fixes something. 5919 5920* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5921 implementation. 5922 5923* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5924 5925* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5926 5927* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 5928 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 5929 5930* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5931 document these in the README file. 5932 5933* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5934 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5935 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5936 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5937 with some other mail clients. 5938 5939 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5940 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5941 GNU diff. 5942 5943 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5944 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5945 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5946 affected files). 5947 5948 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5949 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5950 5951* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5952 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5953 5954* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5955 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5956 5957 5958Notes: 5959 5960* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5961 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5962 for any of the boards. 5963 5964* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5965 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5966 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5967 5968* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5969 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5970 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5971 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5972 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5973 modification. 5974 5975* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5976 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5977 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5978 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5979
