For instance, all monitor commands are 40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 43load and run it dynamically. 44 45 46Status: 47======= 48 49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 52 53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board 55maintainers. 56 57 58Where to get help: 59================== 60 61In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 62U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 63<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 132names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 133Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 134releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 135 136Examples: 137 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 138 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 139 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 140 141 142Directory Hierarchy: 143==================== 144 145/arch Architecture specific files 146 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 147 /cpu CPU specific files 148 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 149 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 150 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 151 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 152 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 153 /arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 154 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 155 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 156 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 157 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 158 /s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 159 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 160 /lib Architecture specific library files 161 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 162 /cpu CPU specific files 163 /lib Architecture specific library files 164 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 165 /cpu CPU specific files 166 /lib Architecture specific library files 167 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 168 /cpu CPU specific files 169 /lib Architecture specific library files 170 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 171 /cpu CPU specific files 172 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 173 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 174 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 175 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 176 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 177 /lib Architecture specific library files 178 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 179 /cpu CPU specific files 180 /lib Architecture specific library files 181 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 182 /cpu CPU specific files 183 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 184 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 185 /lib Architecture specific library files 186 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 187 /cpu CPU specific files 188 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 189 /lib Architecture specific library files 190 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 191 /cpu CPU specific files 192 /lib Architecture specific library files 193 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 194 /cpu CPU specific files 195 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 196 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 197 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 198 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 199 /mpc8220 Files specific to Freescale MPC8220 CPUs 200 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 201 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 202 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 203 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 204 /lib Architecture specific library files 205 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 206 /cpu CPU specific files 207 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 208 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 209 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 210 /lib Architecture specific library files 211 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 212 /cpu CPU specific files 213 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 214 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 215 /lib Architecture specific library files 216/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 217/board Board dependent files 218/common Misc architecture independent functions 219/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 220/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 221/drivers Commonly used device drivers 222/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 223/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 224/include Header Files 225/lib Files generic to all architectures 226 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 227 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 228 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 229/net Networking code 230/post Power On Self Test 231/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 232/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 233 234Software Configuration: 235======================= 236 237Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 238rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 239 240There are two classes of configuration variables: 241 242* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 243 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 244 "CONFIG_". 245 246* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 247 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 248 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 249 "CONFIG_SYS_". 250 251Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 252identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 253do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 254links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 255as an example here. 256 257 258Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 259--------------------------------------------------- 260 261For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 262configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 263 264Example: For a TQM823L module type: 265 266 cd u-boot 267 make TQM823L_config 268 269For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 270e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 271directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 272 273 274Configuration Options: 275---------------------- 276 277Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 278such information is kept in a configuration file 279"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 280 281Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 282"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 283 284 285Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 286kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 287build a config tool - later. 288 289 290The following options need to be configured: 291 292- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 293 294- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 295 296- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 297 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 298 299- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 300 Define exactly one of 301 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 302--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 303 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 304 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 305 306- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 307 Define exactly one of 308 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 309 310- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 311 Define one or more of 312 CONFIG_CMA302 313 314- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 315 Define one or more of 316 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 317 the LCD display every second with 318 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 319 320- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 321 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 322 Possible values are: 323 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 324 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 325 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 326 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 327 328- Marvell Family Member 329 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 330 multiple fs option at one time 331 for marvell soc family 332 333- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 334 Define exactly one of 335 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 336 337- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 338 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 339 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 340 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 341 reference PIT/RTC clock 342 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 343 or XTAL/EXTAL) 344 345- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 346 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 347 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 348 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 349 See doc/README.MPC866 350 351 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 352 353 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 354 of relying on the correctness of the configured 355 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 356 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 357 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 358 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 359 360 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 361 362 Define this option if you want to enable the 363 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 364 365- 85xx CPU Options: 366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 367 368 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 369 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 370 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 371 372 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 373 374 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 375 tree nodes for the given platform. 376 377 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 378 379 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 380 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 381 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 382 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 383 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 384 purpose. 385 386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 387 388 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 389 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 390 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 391 392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 393 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 394 395 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 396 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 397 398 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 399 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 400 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 401 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 402 403 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 404 this erratum. 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- Generic CPU options: 412 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 413 414 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 415 values is arch specific. 416 417- Intel Monahans options: 418 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 419 420 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 421 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 422 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 423 424 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 425 426 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 427 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 428 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 429 by this value. 430 431- MIPS CPU options: 432 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 433 434 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 435 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 436 relocation. 437 438 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 439 440 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 441 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 442 Possible values are: 443 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 444 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 445 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 446 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 447 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 448 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 449 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 450 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 451 452 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 453 454 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 455 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 456 457 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 458 459 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 460 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 461 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 462 463- ARM options: 464 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 465 466 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 467 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 468 469 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 470 471 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 472 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 473 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 474 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 475 GCC. 476 477- Linux Kernel Interface: 478 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 479 480 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 481 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 482 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 483 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 484 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 485 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 486 Linux kernel. 487 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 488 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 489 default environment. 490 491 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 492 493 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 494 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 495 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 496 497 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 498 499 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 500 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 501 concepts). 502 503 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 504 * New libfdt-based support 505 * Adds the "fdt" command 506 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 507 508 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 509 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 510 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 511 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 512 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 513 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 514 515 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 516 addresses 517 518 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 519 520 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 521 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 522 523 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 524 525 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 526 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 527 528 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 529 530 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 531 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 532 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 533 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 534 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 535 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 536 537 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 538 539 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 540 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 541 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 542 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 543 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 544 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 545 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 546 547- vxWorks boot parameters: 548 549 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 550 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 551 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 552 553 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 554 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 555 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 556 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 557 558 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 559 560 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 561 562 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 563 the defaults discussed just above. 564 565- Cache Configuration: 566 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 567 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 568 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 569 570- Cache Configuration for ARM: 571 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 572 controller 573 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 574 controller register space 575 576- Serial Ports: 577 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 578 579 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 580 581 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 582 583 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 584 585 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 586 587 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 588 the clock speed of the UARTs. 589 590 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 591 592 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 593 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 594 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 595 596 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 597 598 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 599 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 600 this variable to initialize the extra register. 601 602 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 603 604 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 605 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 606 variable to flush the UART at init time. 607 608 609- Console Interface: 610 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 611 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 612 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 613 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 614 615 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 616 port routines must be defined elsewhere 617 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 618 619 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 620 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 621 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 622 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 623 (default big endian) 624 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 625 rectangle fill 626 (cf. smiLynxEM) 627 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 628 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 629 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 630 (cols=pitch) 631 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 632 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 633 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 634 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 635 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 636 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 637 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 638 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 639 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 640 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 641 (i.e. i8042_getc) 642 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 643 (requires blink timer 644 cf. i8042.c) 645 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 646 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 647 upper right corner 648 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 649 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 650 upper left corner 651 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 652 linux_logo.h for logo. 653 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 654 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 655 additional board info beside 656 the logo 657 658 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 659 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 660 environment 'console=serial'. 661 662 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 663 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 664 the "silent" environment variable. See 665 doc/README.silent for more information. 666 667- Console Baudrate: 668 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 669 Select one of the baudrates listed in 670 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 671 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 672 673- Console Rx buffer length 674 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 675 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 676 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 677 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 678 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 679 the SMC. 680 681- Pre-Console Buffer: 682 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 683 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 684 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 685 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 686 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 687 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 688 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 689 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 690 earlier bytes are discarded. 691 692 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 693 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 694 695- Safe printf() functions 696 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 697 the printf() functions. These are defined in 698 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 699 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 700 If this option is not given then these functions will 701 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 702 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 703 704- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 705 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 706 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 707 708 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 709 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 710 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 711 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 712 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 713 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 714 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 715 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 716 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 717 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 718 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 719 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 720 721- Autoboot Command: 722 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 723 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 724 define a command string that is automatically executed 725 when no character is read on the console interface 726 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 727 728 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 729 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 730 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 731 environment value "bootargs". 732 733 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 734 The value of these goes into the environment as 735 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 736 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 737 RAM and NFS. 738 739- Pre-Boot Commands: 740 CONFIG_PREBOOT 741 742 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 743 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 744 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 745 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 746 entering interactive mode. 747 748 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 749 automatically generated or modified. For an example 750 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 751 modified when the user holds down a certain 752 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 753 booting the systems 754 755- Serial Download Echo Mode: 756 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 757 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 758 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 759 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 760 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 761 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 762 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 763 764- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 765 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 766 Select one of the baudrates listed in 767 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 768 769- Monitor Functions: 770 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 771 from the build by using the #include files 772 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 773 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 774 and augmenting with additional #define's 775 for wanted commands. 776 777 The default command configuration includes all commands 778 except those marked below with a "*". 779 780 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 781 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 782 CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger 783 CONFIG_CMD_BMP * BMP support 784 CONFIG_CMD_BSP * Board specific commands 785 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTD bootd 786 CONFIG_CMD_CACHE * icache, dcache 787 CONFIG_CMD_CONSOLE coninfo 788 CONFIG_CMD_CRC32 * crc32 789 CONFIG_CMD_DATE * support for RTC, date/time... 790 CONFIG_CMD_DHCP * DHCP support 791 CONFIG_CMD_DIAG * Diagnostics 792 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510 * ds4510 I2C gpio commands 793 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_INFO * ds4510 I2C info command 794 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_MEM * ds4510 I2C eeprom/sram commansd 795 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_RST * ds4510 I2C rst command 796 CONFIG_CMD_DTT * Digital Therm and Thermostat 797 CONFIG_CMD_ECHO echo arguments 798 CONFIG_CMD_EDITENV edit env variable 799 CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM * EEPROM read/write support 800 CONFIG_CMD_ELF * bootelf, bootvx 801 CONFIG_CMD_EXPORTENV * export the environment 802 CONFIG_CMD_SAVEENV saveenv 803 CONFIG_CMD_FDC * Floppy Disk Support 804 CONFIG_CMD_FAT * FAT partition support 805 CONFIG_CMD_FDOS * Dos diskette Support 806 CONFIG_CMD_FLASH flinfo, erase, protect 807 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA FPGA device initialization support 808 CONFIG_CMD_GO * the 'go' command (exec code) 809 CONFIG_CMD_GREPENV * search environment 810 CONFIG_CMD_HWFLOW * RTS/CTS hw flow control 811 CONFIG_CMD_I2C * I2C serial bus support 812 CONFIG_CMD_IDE * IDE harddisk support 813 CONFIG_CMD_IMI iminfo 814 CONFIG_CMD_IMLS List all found images 815 CONFIG_CMD_IMMAP * IMMR dump support 816 CONFIG_CMD_IMPORTENV * import an environment 817 CONFIG_CMD_IRQ * irqinfo 818 CONFIG_CMD_ITEST Integer/string test of 2 values 819 CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2 * JFFS2 Support 820 CONFIG_CMD_KGDB * kgdb 821 CONFIG_CMD_LDRINFO ldrinfo (display Blackfin loader) 822 CONFIG_CMD_LINK_LOCAL * link-local IP address auto-configuration 823 (169.254.*.*) 824 CONFIG_CMD_LOADB loadb 825 CONFIG_CMD_LOADS loads 826 CONFIG_CMD_MD5SUM print md5 message digest 827 (requires CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY and CONFIG_MD5) 828 CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY md, mm, nm, mw, cp, cmp, crc, base, 829 loop, loopw, mtest 830 CONFIG_CMD_MISC Misc functions like sleep etc 831 CONFIG_CMD_MMC * MMC memory mapped support 832 CONFIG_CMD_MII * MII utility commands 833 CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS * MTD partition support 834 CONFIG_CMD_NAND * NAND support 835 CONFIG_CMD_NET bootp, tftpboot, rarpboot 836 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X * PCA953x I2C gpio commands 837 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X_INFO * PCA953x I2C gpio info command 838 CONFIG_CMD_PCI * pciinfo 839 CONFIG_CMD_PCMCIA * PCMCIA support 840 CONFIG_CMD_PING * send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network 841 host 842 CONFIG_CMD_PORTIO * Port I/O 843 CONFIG_CMD_REGINFO * Register dump 844 CONFIG_CMD_RUN run command in env variable 845 CONFIG_CMD_SAVES * save S record dump 846 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI * SCSI Support 847 CONFIG_CMD_SDRAM * print SDRAM configuration information 848 (requires CONFIG_CMD_I2C) 849 CONFIG_CMD_SETGETDCR Support for DCR Register access 850 (4xx only) 851 CONFIG_CMD_SF * Read/write/erase SPI NOR flash 852 CONFIG_CMD_SHA1SUM print sha1 memory digest 853 (requires CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY) 854 CONFIG_CMD_SOURCE "source" command Support 855 CONFIG_CMD_SPI * SPI serial bus support 856 CONFIG_CMD_TFTPSRV * TFTP transfer in server mode 857 CONFIG_CMD_TFTPPUT * TFTP put command (upload) 858 CONFIG_CMD_TIME * run command and report execution time 859 CONFIG_CMD_USB * USB support 860 CONFIG_CMD_CDP * Cisco Discover Protocol support 861 CONFIG_CMD_MFSL * Microblaze FSL support 862 863 864 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network 865 support you can write: 866 867 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 868 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 869 870 Other Commands: 871 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 872 873 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 874 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 875 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 876 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 877 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 878 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 879 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 880 initial stack and some data. 881 882 883 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 884 885- Device tree: 886 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 887 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 888 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 889 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 890 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 891 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 892 893 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 894 be done using one of the two options below: 895 896 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 897 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 898 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 899 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 900 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 901 the global data structure as gd->blob. 902 903 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 904 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 905 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 906 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 907 908 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 909 910 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 911 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 912 still use the individual files if you need something more 913 exotic. 914 915- Watchdog: 916 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 917 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 918 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 919 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 920 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 921 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 922 available, then no further board specific code should 923 be needed to use it. 924 925 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 926 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 927 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 928 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 929 930- U-Boot Version: 931 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 932 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 933 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 934 version as printed by the "version" command. 935 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 936 next reset. 937 938- Real-Time Clock: 939 940 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 941 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 942 following options: 943 944 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 945 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 946 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 947 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 948 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 949 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 950 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 951 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 952 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 953 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 954 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 955 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 956 RV3029 RTC. 957 958 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 959 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 960 961- GPIO Support: 962 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 963 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 964 965 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 966 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 967 pins supported by a particular chip. 968 969 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 970 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 971 972- Timestamp Support: 973 974 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 975 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 976 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 977 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 978 979- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 980 Zero or more of the following: 981 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 982 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 983 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 984 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 985 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 986 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 987 disk/part_efi.c 988 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 989 990 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 991 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 992 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 993 994- IDE Reset method: 995 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 996 board configurations files but used nowhere! 997 998 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 999 be performed by calling the function 1000 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1001 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1002 1003- ATAPI Support: 1004 CONFIG_ATAPI 1005 1006 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1007 1008- LBA48 Support 1009 CONFIG_LBA48 1010 1011 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1012 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1013 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1014 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1015 1016 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1017 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1018 Default is 32bit. 1019 1020- SCSI Support: 1021 At the moment only there is only support for the 1022 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1023 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1024 1025 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1026 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1027 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1028 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1029 devices. 1030 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1031 1032- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1033 CONFIG_E1000 1034 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1035 1036 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1037 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1038 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1039 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1040 1041 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1042 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1043 example with the "sspi" command. 1044 1045 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1046 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1047 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1048 1049 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1050 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1051 1052 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1053 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1054 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1055 write routine for first time initialisation. 1056 1057 CONFIG_TULIP 1058 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1059 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1060 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1061 1062 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1063 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1064 1065 CONFIG_NS8382X 1066 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1067 1068- NETWORK Support (other): 1069 1070 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1071 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1072 1073 CONFIG_RMII 1074 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1075 1076 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1077 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1078 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1079 1080 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1081 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1082 1083 CONFIG_DRIVER_LAN91C96 1084 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1085 1086 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1087 Define this to hold the physical address 1088 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1089 1090 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1091 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1092 1093 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC91111 1094 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1095 1096 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1097 Define this to hold the physical address 1098 of the device (I/O space) 1099 1100 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1101 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1102 1103 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1104 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1105 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1106 1107 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1108 Support for davinci emac 1109 1110 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1111 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1112 1113 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1114 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1115 1116 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1117 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1118 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1119 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1120 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1121 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1122 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1123 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1124 1125 CONFIG_SMC911X 1126 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1127 1128 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1129 Define this to hold the physical address 1130 of the device (I/O space) 1131 1132 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1133 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1134 1135 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1136 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1137 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1138 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1139 1140 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1141 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1142 1143 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1144 Define the number of ports to be used 1145 1146 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1147 Define the ETH PHY's address 1148 1149 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1150 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1151 1152- TPM Support: 1153 CONFIG_GENERIC_LPC_TPM 1154 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1155 per system is supported at this time. 1156 1157 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1158 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1159 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1160 0xfed40000. 1161 1162- USB Support: 1163 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1164 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1165 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1166 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1167 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1168 storage devices. 1169 Note: 1170 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1171 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1172 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1173 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1174 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1175 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1176 for USB on PSC3 1177 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1178 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1179 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1180 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1181 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1182 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1183 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1184 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1185 1186 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1187 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1188 1189- USB Device: 1190 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1191 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1192 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1193 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1194 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1195 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1196 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1197 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1198 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1199 a Linux host by 1200 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1201 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1202 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1203 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1204 1205 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1206 Define this to build a UDC device 1207 1208 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1209 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1210 talk to the UDC device 1211 1212 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1213 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1214 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1215 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1216 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1217 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1218 speed. 1219 1220 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1221 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1222 be set to usbtty. 1223 1224 mpc8xx: 1225 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1226 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1227 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1228 1229 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1230 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1231 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1232 1233 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1234 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1235 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1236 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1237 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1238 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1239 1240 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1241 Define this string as the name of your company for 1242 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1243 1244 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1245 Define this string as the name of your product 1246 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1247 1248 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1249 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1250 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1251 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1252 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1253 1254 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1255 Define this as the unique Product ID 1256 for your device 1257 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1258 1259- ULPI Layer Support: 1260 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1261 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1262 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1263 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1264 viewport is supported. 1265 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1266 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1267 1268- MMC Support: 1269 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1270 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1271 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1272 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1273 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1274 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1275 1276 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1277 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1278 1279 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1280 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1281 1282 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1283 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1284 1285- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1286 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1287 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1288 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1289 1290 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1291 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1292 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1293 1294 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1295 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1296 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1297 1298 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1299 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1300 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1301 have not defined a custom partition 1302 1303- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1304 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1305 1306 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1307 file in FAT formatted partition. 1308 1309 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1310 user to write files to FAT. 1311 1312- Keyboard Support: 1313 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1314 1315 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1316 support 1317 1318 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1319 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1320 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1321 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1322 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1323 1324- Video support: 1325 CONFIG_VIDEO 1326 1327 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1328 video). 1329 1330 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1331 1332 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1333 1334 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1335 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1336 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1337 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1338 assumed. 1339 1340 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1341 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1342 are possible: 1343 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1344 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1345 1346 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1347 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1348 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1349 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1350 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1351 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1352 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1353 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1354 1355 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1356 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1357 1358 1359 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1360 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1361 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1362 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1363 1364 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1365 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1366 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1367 support, and should also define these other macros: 1368 1369 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1370 CONFIG_VIDEO 1371 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1372 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1373 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1374 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1375 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1376 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1377 1378 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1379 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1380 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1381 description of this variable. 1382 1383- Keyboard Support: 1384 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1385 1386 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1387 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1388 defined in your board-specific files. 1389 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1390 1391- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1392 1393 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1394 display); also select one of the supported displays 1395 by defining one of these: 1396 1397 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1398 1399 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1400 1401 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1402 1403 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1404 1405 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1406 1407 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1408 Active, color, single scan. 1409 1410 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1411 1412 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1413 Active, color, single scan. 1414 1415 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1416 1417 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1418 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1419 1420 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1421 1422 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1423 Active, color, single scan. 1424 1425 CONFIG_HLD1045 1426 1427 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1428 Active, color, single scan. 1429 1430 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1431 1432 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1433 or 1434 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1435 or 1436 Hitachi SP14Q002 1437 1438 320x240. Black & white. 1439 1440 Normally display is black on white background; define 1441 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1442 1443- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1444 1445 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1446 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1447 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1448 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1449 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1450 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1451 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1452 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1453 1454 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1455 1456 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1457 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1458 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1459 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1460 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1461 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1462 1463 Example: 1464 setenv splashpos m,m 1465 => image at center of screen 1466 1467 setenv splashpos 30,20 1468 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1469 1470 setenv splashpos -10,m 1471 => vertically centered image 1472 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1473 1474- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1475 1476 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1477 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1478 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1479 1480- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1481 1482 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1483 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1484 bmp command. 1485 1486- Compression support: 1487 CONFIG_BZIP2 1488 1489 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1490 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1491 compressed images are supported. 1492 1493 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1494 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1495 be at least 4MB. 1496 1497 CONFIG_LZMA 1498 1499 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1500 images is included. 1501 1502 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1503 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1504 formula: 1505 1506 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1507 1508 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1509 and Literal pos bits. 1510 1511 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1512 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1513 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1514 a very small buffer. 1515 1516 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1517 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1518 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1519 1520- MII/PHY support: 1521 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1522 1523 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1524 1525 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1526 1527 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1528 1529 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1530 1531 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1532 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1533 1534 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1535 1536 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1537 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1538 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1539 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1540 1541 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1542 1543 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1544 command issued before MII status register can be read 1545 1546- Ethernet address: 1547 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1548 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1549 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1550 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1551 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1552 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1553 1554 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1555 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1556 is not determined automatically. 1557 1558- IP address: 1559 CONFIG_IPADDR 1560 1561 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1562 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1563 determined through e.g. bootp. 1564 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1565 1566- Server IP address: 1567 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1568 1569 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1570 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1571 (Environment variable "serverip") 1572 1573 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1574 1575 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1576 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1577 1578- Gateway IP address: 1579 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1580 1581 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1582 default router where packets to other networks are 1583 sent to. 1584 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1585 1586- Subnet mask: 1587 CONFIG_NETMASK 1588 1589 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1590 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1591 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1592 forwarded through a router. 1593 (Environment variable "netmask") 1594 1595- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1596 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1597 1598 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1599 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1600 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1601 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1602 multicast group. 1603 1604- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1605 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1606 1607 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1608 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1609 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1610 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1611 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1612 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1613 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1614 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1615 following delays are inserted then: 1616 1617 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1618 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1619 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1620 4th and following 1621 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1622 1623- DHCP Advanced Options: 1624 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1625 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1626 1627 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1628 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1629 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1630 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1631 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1632 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1633 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1634 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1635 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1636 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1637 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1638 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1639 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1640 1641 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1642 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1643 1644 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1645 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1646 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1647 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1648 is not available. 1649 1650 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1651 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1652 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1653 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1654 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1655 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1656 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1657 is defined. 1658 1659 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1660 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1661 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1662 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1663 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1664 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1665 1666 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1667 1668 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1669 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1670 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1671 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1672 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1673 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1674 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1675 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1676 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1677 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1678 this delay. 1679 1680 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1681 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1682 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1683 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1684 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1685 1686 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1687 1688 - CDP Options: 1689 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1690 1691 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1692 1693 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1694 1695 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1696 of the device. 1697 1698 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1699 1700 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1701 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1702 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1703 1704 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1705 1706 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1707 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1708 1709 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1710 1711 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1712 1713 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1714 1715 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1716 1717 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1718 1719 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1720 1721 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1722 1723 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1724 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1725 1726 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1727 1728 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1729 1730- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1731 1732 Several configurations allow to display the current 1733 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1734 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1735 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1736 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1737 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1738 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1739 feature in U-Boot. 1740 1741- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1742 1743 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1744 on those systems that support this (optional) 1745 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1746 1747- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1748 1749 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1750 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1751 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1752 1753 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1754 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1755 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1756 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1757 command line interface. 1758 1759 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1760 1761 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1762 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1763 support for I2C. 1764 1765 There are several other quantities that must also be 1766 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1767 1768 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1769 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1770 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1771 the CPU's i2c node address). 1772 1773 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1774 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1775 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1776 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1777 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1778 1779 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1780 1781 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1782 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1783 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1784 commands until the slave device responds. 1785 1786 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1787 1788 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1789 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1790 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1791 1792 I2C_INIT 1793 1794 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1795 controller or configure ports. 1796 1797 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1798 1799 I2C_PORT 1800 1801 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1802 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1803 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1804 1805 I2C_ACTIVE 1806 1807 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1808 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1809 define can be null. 1810 1811 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1812 1813 I2C_TRISTATE 1814 1815 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1816 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1817 define can be null. 1818 1819 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1820 1821 I2C_READ 1822 1823 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high, 1824 FALSE if it is low. 1825 1826 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1827 1828 I2C_SDA(bit) 1829 1830 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1831 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1832 1833 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1834 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1835 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1836 1837 I2C_SCL(bit) 1838 1839 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1840 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1841 1842 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1843 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1844 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1845 1846 I2C_DELAY 1847 1848 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1849 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1850 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1851 like: 1852 1853 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 1854 1855 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 1856 1857 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 1858 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 1859 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 1860 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 1861 1862 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 1863 the generic GPIO functions. 1864 1865 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 1866 1867 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1868 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1869 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 1870 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 1871 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 1872 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 1873 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 1874 is run early in the boot sequence. 1875 1876 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 1877 1878 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 1879 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 1880 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 1881 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 1882 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 1883 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 1884 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 1885 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 1886 1887 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 1888 1889 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 1890 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 1891 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 1892 1893 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1894 1895 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 1896 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 1897 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 1898 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 1899 1900 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 1901 1902 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 1903 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1904 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 1905 a 1D array of device addresses 1906 1907 e.g. 1908 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1909 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 1910 1911 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 1912 1913 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1914 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 1915 1916 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 1917 1918 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 1919 1920 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 1921 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 1922 1923 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 1924 1925 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 1926 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 1927 1928 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 1929 1930 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 1931 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 1932 1933 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 1934 1935 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 1936 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 1937 specified DTT device. 1938 1939 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 1940 1941 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 1942 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 1943 1944 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 1945 1946 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 1947 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 1948 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 1949 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 1950 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 1951 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 1952 1953 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 1954 feature! 1955 1956 Example: 1957 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 1958 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 1959 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 1960 1961 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 1962 1963 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 1964 of I2C Busses with muxes: 1965 1966 => i2c bus 1967 Busses reached over muxes: 1968 Bus ID: 2 1969 reached over Mux(es): 1970 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 1971 Bus ID: 3 1972 reached over Mux(es): 1973 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 1974 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 1975 => 1976 1977 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 1978 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable 1979 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable 1980 the channel 4. 1981 1982 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 1983 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind 1984 the 2 muxes. 1985 1986 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 1987 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 1988 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 1989 to add this option to other architectures. 1990 1991 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 1992 1993 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 1994 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 1995 between writing the address pointer and reading the 1996 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 1997 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 1998 devices can use either method, but some require one or 1999 the other. 2000 2001- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2002 2003 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2004 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2005 D/As on the SACSng board) 2006 2007 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2008 2009 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2010 only SH7757 is supported. 2011 2012 CONFIG_SPI_X 2013 2014 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2015 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2016 2017 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2018 2019 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2020 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2021 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2022 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2023 defined, the board configuration must define several 2024 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2025 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2026 2027 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2028 2029 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2030 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2031 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2032 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2033 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2034 2035 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2036 2037 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2038 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2039 2040- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2041 2042 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2043 2044 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2045 2046 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2047 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2048 2049 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2050 2051 Enables support for FPGA family. 2052 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2053 2054 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2055 2056 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2057 2058 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2059 2060 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2061 2062 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2063 2064 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2065 status by the configuration function. This option 2066 will require a board or device specific function to 2067 be written. 2068 2069 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2070 2071 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2072 configuration driver. 2073 2074 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2075 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2076 2077 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2078 2079 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2080 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2081 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2082 indicated a CRC error). 2083 2084 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2085 2086 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2087 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2088 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2089 ms. 2090 2091 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2092 2093 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2094 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2095 2096 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2097 2098 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2099 200 ms. 2100 2101- Configuration Management: 2102 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2103 2104 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2105 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2106 2107- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2108 2109 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2110 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2111 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2112 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2113 protects these variables from casual modification by 2114 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2115 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2116 change this behaviour: 2117 2118 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2119 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2120 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2121 these parameters. 2122 2123 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2124 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2125 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2126 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2127 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2128 read-only.] 2129 2130- Protected RAM: 2131 CONFIG_PRAM 2132 2133 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2134 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2135 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2136 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2137 this default value by defining an environment 2138 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2139 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2140 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2141 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2142 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2143 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2144 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2145 2146 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2147 saveenv 2148 2149 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2150 either, which results in a memory region that will 2151 not be affected by reboots. 2152 2153 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2154 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2155 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2156 following board configurations are known to be 2157 "pRAM-clean": 2158 2159 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2160 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC, 2161 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2162 2163- Error Recovery: 2164 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2165 2166 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2167 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2168 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2169 system where you want the system to reboot 2170 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2171 useful during development since you can try to debug 2172 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2173 2174 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2175 2176 This variable defines the number of retries for 2177 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2178 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2179 default value of 5 is used. 2180 2181 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2182 2183 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2184 2185 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2186 2187 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2188 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2189 try longer timeout such as 2190 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2191 2192- Command Interpreter: 2193 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2194 2195 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2196 2197 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2198 for the "hush" shell. 2199 2200 2201 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2202 2203 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2204 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2205 powerful command line syntax like 2206 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2207 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2208 2209 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2210 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2211 2212 2213 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2214 2215 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2216 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2217 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2218 2219 Note: 2220 2221 In the current implementation, the local variables 2222 space and global environment variables space are 2223 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2224 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2225 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2226 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2227 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2228 2229 Global environment variables are those you use 2230 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2231 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2232 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2233 2234 To store commands and special characters in a 2235 variable, please use double quotation marks 2236 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2237 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2238 symbols. 2239 2240- Commandline Editing and History: 2241 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2242 2243 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2244 commandline input operations 2245 2246- Default Environment: 2247 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2248 2249 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2250 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2251 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2252 2253 For example, place something like this in your 2254 board's config file: 2255 2256 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2257 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2258 "myvar2=value2\0" 2259 2260 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2261 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2262 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2263 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2264 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2265 You better know what you are doing here. 2266 2267 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2268 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2269 the environment like the "source" command or the 2270 boot command first. 2271 2272 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2273 2274 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2275 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2276 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2277 2278 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2279 2280 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2281 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2282 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2283 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2284 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2285 2286- DataFlash Support: 2287 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2288 2289 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2290 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2291 commands cp, md... 2292 2293- Serial Flash support 2294 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2295 2296 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2297 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2298 2299 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2300 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2301 commands. 2302 2303 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2304 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2305 flash is present on the system. 2306 2307 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2308 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2309 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2310 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2311 2312- SystemACE Support: 2313 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2314 2315 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2316 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2317 of the chip must also be defined in the 2318 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2319 2320 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2321 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2322 2323 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2324 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2325 2326- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2327 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2328 2329 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2330 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2331 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2332 number generator is used. 2333 2334 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2335 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2336 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2337 2338 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2339 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2340 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2341 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2342 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2343 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2344 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2345 2346- Show boot progress: 2347 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2348 2349 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2350 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2351 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2352 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2353 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2354 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2355 2356- Detailed boot stage timing 2357 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2358 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2359 of the boot process. 2360 2361 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2362 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2363 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2364 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2365 the limit, recording will stop. 2366 2367 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2368 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2369 2370 Timer summary in microseconds: 2371 Mark Elapsed Stage 2372 0 0 reset 2373 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2374 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2375 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2376 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2377 3,910,375

thus 2539 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2540 settings. 2541 2542- Frame Buffer Address: 2543 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2544 2545 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2546 address for frame buffer. 2547 Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to 2548 defined address instead of lcd_setmem (this function 2549 grabs the memory for frame buffer by panel's size). 2550 2551 Please see board_init_f function. 2552 2553- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2554 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2555 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2556 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2557 2558 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2559 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2560 2561- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2562 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2563 2564 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2565 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2566 2567 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2568 2569 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2570 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 2571 2572- SPL framework 2573 CONFIG_SPL 2574 Enable building of SPL globally. 2575 2576 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 2577 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 2578 2579 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 2580 Maximum binary size (text, data and rodata) of the SPL binary. 2581 2582 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 2583 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 2584 2585 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 2586 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 2587 2588 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2589 Maximum binary size of the BSS section of the SPL binary. 2590 2591 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 2592 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 2593 2594 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 2595 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2596 2597 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 2598 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2599 2600 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 2601 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 2602 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 2603 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 2604 2605 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 2606 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 2607 about the running system. 2608 2609 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 2610 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 2611 2612 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 2613 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 2614 2615 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 2616 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 2617 2618 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 2619 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 2620 2621 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 2622 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 2623 2624 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 2625 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 2626 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 2627 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 2628 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 2629 2630 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 2631 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 2632 2633 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 2634 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 2635 2636 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 2637 Support for drivers/mtd/nand/libnand.o in SPL binary 2638 2639 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 2640 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 2641 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 2642 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 2643 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 2644 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 2645 to read U-Boot with CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 2646 2647 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 2648 Location in NAND for CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE to read U-Boot 2649 from. 2650 2651 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 2652 Location in memory for CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE to load U-Boot 2653 to. 2654 2655 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 2656 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 2657 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 2658 2659 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 2660 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 2661 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 2662 2663 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 2664 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 2665 2666 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 2667 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 2668 2669 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 2670 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 2671 2672 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 2673 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 2674 2675Modem Support: 2676-------------- 2677 2678[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 2679 2680- Modem support enable: 2681 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 2682 2683- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 2684 CONFIG_HWFLOW 2685 2686- Modem debug support: 2687 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 2688 2689 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 2690 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 2691 2692- Interrupt support (PPC): 2693 2694 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 2695 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 2696 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 2697 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 2698 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 2699 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 2700 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 2701 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 2702 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 2703 general timer_interrupt(). 2704 2705- General: 2706 2707 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 2708 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 2709 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 2710 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 2711 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 2712 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 2713 initialization. 2714 2715 If there are no modem init strings in the 2716 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 2717 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 2718 suppressed, though. 2719 2720 See also: doc/README.Modem 2721 2722Board initialization settings: 2723------------------------------ 2724 2725During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 2726to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 2727before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 2728following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 2729architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 2730typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 2731 2732- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 2733- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 2734- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 2735- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 2736 2737Configuration Settings: 2738----------------------- 2739 2740- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 2741 undefine this when you're short of memory. 2742 2743- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 2744 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 2745 2746- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 2747 prompt for user input. 2748 2749- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 2750 2751- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 2752 2753- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 2754 2755- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 2756 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 2757 booted 2758 2759- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 2760 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 2761 2762- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 2763 Suppress display of console information at boot. 2764 2765- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 2766 If the board specific function 2767 extern int overwrite_console (void); 2768 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 2769 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 2770 2771- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 2772 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 2773 2774- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 2775 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 2776 2777- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 2778 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 2779 simple memory test. 2780 2781- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 2782 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 2783 2784- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 2785 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 2786 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 2787 2788- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 2789 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 2790 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 2791 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 2792 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 2793 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 2794 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 2795 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 2796 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 2797 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 2798 2799 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 2800 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 2801 be touched. 2802 2803 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 2804 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 2805 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 2806 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 2807 problems. 2808 2809- CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR: 2810 Default load address for network file downloads 2811 2812- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 2813 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 2814 2815- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 2816 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 2817 2818- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 2819 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 2820 Cogent motherboard) 2821 2822- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 2823 Physical start address of Flash memory. 2824 2825- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 2826 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 2827 make config files to be same as the text base address 2828 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 2829 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 2830 2831- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 2832 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 2833 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 2834 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 2835 flash sector. 2836 2837- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 2838 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 2839 2840- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 2841 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 2842 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 2843 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 2844 to adjust this setting to your needs. 2845 2846- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 2847 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 2848 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 2849 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 2850 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 2851 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 2852 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 2853 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 2854 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 2855 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 2856 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 2857 2858- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 2859 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 2860 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 2861 is enabled. 2862 2863- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 2864 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 2865 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2866 2867- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 2868 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 2869 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2870 2871- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 2872 Max number of Flash memory banks 2873 2874- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 2875 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 2876 2877- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 2878 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 2879 2880- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 2881 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 2882 2883- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 2884 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 2885 2886- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 2887 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 2888 2889- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 2890 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 2891 instead of U-Boot software protection. 2892 2893- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 2894 2895 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 2896 without this option such a download has to be 2897 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 2898 copy from RAM to flash. 2899 2900 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 2901 you can check if the download worked before you erase 2902 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 2903 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 2904 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 2905 2906- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 2907 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 2908 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 2909 2910- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 2911 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 2912 in the drivers directory 2913 2914- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 2915 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 2916 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 2917 to the MTD layer. 2918 2919- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 2920 Use buffered writes to flash. 2921 2922- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 2923 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 2924 write commands. 2925 2926- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 2927 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 2928 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 2929 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 2930 optionally available. 2931 2932- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 2933 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 2934 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 2935 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 2936 2937- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 2938 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 2939 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 2940 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 2941 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 2942 on high Ethernet traffic. 2943 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 2944 2945- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 2946 2947 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 2948 internally to store the environment settings. The default 2949 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 2950 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 2951 lib/hashtable.c for details. 2952 2953The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 2954of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 2955following configurations: 2956 2957- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 2958 2959 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 2960 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 2961 2962- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 2963 2964 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 2965 2966 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 2967 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 2968 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 2969 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 2970 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 2971 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 2972 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 2973 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 2974 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 2975 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 2976 between U-Boot and the environment. 2977 2978 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2979 2980 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 2981 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 2982 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 2983 for this sector is given here. 2984 2985 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 2986 2987 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2988 2989 This is just another way to specify the start address of 2990 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 2991 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 2992 2993 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 2994 2995 Size of the sector containing the environment. 2996 2997 2998 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 2999 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3000 the environment. 3001 3002 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3003 3004 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3005 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3006 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3007 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3008 3009 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3010 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3011 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3012 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3013 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3014 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3015 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3016 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3017 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3018 3019 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3020 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3021 3022 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3023 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3024 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3025 a "saveenv" operation. 3026 3027BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3028source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3029accordingly! 3030 3031 3032- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3033 3034 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3035 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3036 environment. 3037 3038 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3039 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3040 3041 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3042 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3043 can just be read and written to, without any special 3044 provision. 3045 3046BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3047in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3048console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3049U-Boot will hang. 3050 3051Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3052environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3053keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3054to save the current settings. 3055 3056 3057- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3058 3059 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3060 device and a driver for it. 3061 3062 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3063 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3064 3065 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3066 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3067 3068 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3069 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3070 The default address is zero. 3071 3072 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3073 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3074 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3075 would require six bits. 3076 3077 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3078 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3079 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3080 3081 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3082 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3083 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3084 3085 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3086 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3087 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3088 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3089 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3090 byte chips. 3091 3092 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3093 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3094 in the chip address. 3095 3096 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3097 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3098 3099 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3100 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3101 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3102 3103 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3104 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3105 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3106 EEPROM. For example: 3107 3108 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 3109 3110 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3111 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3112 3113- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3114 3115 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3116 want to use for the environment. 3117 3118 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3119 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3120 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3121 3122 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3123 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3124 at the specified address. 3125 3126- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3127 3128 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3129 want to use for the local device's environment. 3130 3131 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3132 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3133 3134 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3135 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3136 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3137 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3138 3139BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3140"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3141environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3142but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3143 3144- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3145 3146 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3147 for the environment. 3148 3149 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3150 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3151 3152 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3153 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3154 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3155 3156 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3157 3158 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3159 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3160 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3161 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3162 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3163 3164 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3165 3166 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3167 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3168 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3169 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3170 the range to be avoided. 3171 3172 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3173 3174 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3175 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3176 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3177 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3178 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3179 3180- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3181 3182 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3183 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3184 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3185 3186- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3187 3188 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3189 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3190 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3191 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3192 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3193 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3194 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3195 3196Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3197has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3198created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3199until then to read environment variables. 3200 3201The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3202is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3203with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3204necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3205"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3206have any device yet where we could complain.] 3207 3208Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3209the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3210use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3211 3212- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3213 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3214 3215 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3216 also needs to be defined. 3217 3218- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3219 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3220 3221- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3222 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3223 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3224 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3225 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3226 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3227 3228Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3229--------------------------------------------------- 3230 3231- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3232 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3233 3234- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3235 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3236 3237 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3238 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3239 the IMMR register after a reset. 3240 3241- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3242 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3243 PowerPC SOCs. 3244 3245- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3246 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3247 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3248 3249 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3250 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3251 3252- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3253 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3254 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3255 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3256 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3257 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3258 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3259 3260 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3261 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3262 3263- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3264 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3265 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3266 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3267 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3268 3269- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3270 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3271 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3272 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3273 3274- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3275 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3276 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3277 3278- Floppy Disk Support: 3279 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3280 3281 the default drive number (default value 0) 3282 3283 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3284 3285 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3286 (default value 1) 3287 3288 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3289 3290 defines the offset of register from address. It 3291 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3292 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3293 3294 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3295 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3296 default value. 3297 3298 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3299 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3300 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3301 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 3302 initializations. 3303 3304- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3305 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3306 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3307 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3308 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3309 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3310 is requierd. 3311 3312- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3313 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3314 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 3315 3316- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3317 3318 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3319 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3320 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3321 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3322 will become available only after programming the 3323 memory controller and running certain initialization 3324 sequences. 3325 3326 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3327 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3328 - MPC824X: data cache 3329 - PPC4xx: data cache 3330 3331- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3332 3333 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3334 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3335 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3336 data is located at the end of the available space 3337 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3338 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3339 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3340 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3341 3342 Note: 3343 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3344 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3345 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3346 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3347 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3348 3349- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 3350 3351- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 3352 3353- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 3354 3355- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 3356 3357- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 3358 3359- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3360 3361- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3362 SDRAM timing 3363 3364- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3365 periodic timer for refresh 3366 3367- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 3368 3369- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3370 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3371 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3372 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3373 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3374 3375- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3376 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3377 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3378 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3379 3380- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 3381 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 3382 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 3383 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 3384 3385- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3386 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3387 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 3388 3389- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3390 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3391 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 3392 3393- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3394 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3395 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 3396 3397- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 3398 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board.

This definition overrides 3405 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 3406 cpm_8260.h. 3407 3408- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3409 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 3410 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 3411 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3412 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 3413 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 3414 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 3415 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 3416 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 3417 3418- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 3419 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 3420 required. 3421 3422- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 3423 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 3424 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 3425 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 3426 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 3427 by coreboot or similar. 3428 3429- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 3430 Chip has SRIO or not 3431 3432- CONFIG_SRIO1: 3433 Board has SRIO 1 port available 3434 3435- CONFIG_SRIO2: 3436 Board has SRIO 2 port available 3437 3438- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 3439 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3440 3441- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 3442 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3443 3444- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 3445 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3446 3447- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_16 3448 Defined to tell the NDFC that the NAND chip is using a 3449 16 bit bus. 3450 3451- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 3452 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 3453 a default value will be used. 3454 3455- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 3456 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 3457 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 3458 3459 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 3460 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 3461 3462- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 3463 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 3464 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 3465 to something your driver can deal with. 3466 3467- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 3468 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD.

If specified, then DDR should 3478 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 3479 3480- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 3481 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 3482 3483- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 3484 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 3485 to the given FEC; i. e. 3486 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 3487 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 3488 3489 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 3490 3491- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 3492 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 3493 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 3494 3495- CONFIG_RMII 3496 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 3497 Note that this is a global option, we can't 3498 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 3499 3500- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 3501 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 3502 The syntax is: 3503 3504 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 3505 3506 Where address/count indicate a memory area 3507 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 3508 area should have. 3509 3510- CONFIG_LOOPW 3511 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 3512 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3513 3514- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 3515 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 3516 "md/mw" commands. 3517 Examples: 3518 3519 => mdc.b 10 4 500 3520 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 3521 3522 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 3523 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 3524 3525 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 3526 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3527 3528- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 3529 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 3530 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 3531 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 3532 relocate itself into RAM. 3533 3534 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 3535 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 3536 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 3537 these initializations itself. 3538 3539- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 3540 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 3541 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 3542 compiling a NAND SPL. 3543 3544- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 3545 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 3546 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 3547 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 3548 conditions but may increase the binary size. 3549 3550Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 3551----------------------------------- 3552 3553The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 3554loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 3555This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 3556are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 3557within that device. 3558 3559- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 3560 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 3561 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 3562 is also specified. 3563 3564- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 3565 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 3566 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 3567 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 3568 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 3569 3570- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 3571 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 3572 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 3573 virtual address in NOR flash. 3574 3575- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 3576 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 3577 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 3578 3579- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 3580 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 3581 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3582 3583- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 3584 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 3585 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3586 3587- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 3588 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 3589 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 3590 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 3591 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 3592 master's memory space. 3593 3594Building the Software: 3595====================== 3596 3597Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 3598and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 3599all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 3600(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 3601recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 3602which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 3603 3604If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 3605have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 3606you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 3607Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 3608necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 3609 3610 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 3611 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 3612 3613Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 3614 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 3615 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 3616 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 3617 3618 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 3619 3620 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 3621 be executed on computers running Windows. 3622 3623U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 3624sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 3625is done by typing: 3626 3627 make NAME_config 3628 3629where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 3630rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 3631 3632Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 3633 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 3634 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 3635 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 3636 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 3637 3638 make TQM823L_config 3639 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 3640 3641 make TQM823L_LCD_config 3642 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 3643 3644 etc. 3645 3646 3647Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 3648images ready for download to / installation on your system: 3649 3650- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 3651- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 3652- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 3653 3654By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 3655in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 3656this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 3657 36581. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 3659 3660 make O=/tmp/build distclean 3661 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 3662 make O=/tmp/build all 3663 36642. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 3665 3666 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3667 make distclean 3668 make NAME_config 3669 make all 3670 3671Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 3672variable. 3673 3674 3675Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 3676for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 3677native "make". 3678 3679 3680If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 3681to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 3682steps: 3683 36841. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 3685 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 3686 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 36872. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 3688 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 3689 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 36903. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 3691 your board 36923. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 3693 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 36944. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 36955. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 3696 to be installed on your target system. 36976. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 3698 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 3699 3700 3701Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 3702============================================================== 3703 3704If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 3705or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 3706provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 3707the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 3708official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 3709 3710But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 3711cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 3712the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 3713just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 3714for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 3715select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 3716environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 3717you can type 3718 3719 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3720 3721or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 3722 3723 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 3724 3725When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 3726U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 3727setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 3728built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 3729<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 3730location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 3731variable. For example: 3732 3733 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3734 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 3735 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3736 3737With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 3738log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 3739during the whole build process. 3740 3741 3742See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 3743 3744 3745Monitor Commands - Overview: 3746============================ 3747 3748go - start application at address 'addr' 3749run - run commands in an environment variable 3750bootm - boot application image from memory 3751bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 3752bootz - boot zImage from memory 3753tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 3754 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 3755 (and eventually "gatewayip") 3756tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 3757rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 3758diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 3759loads - load S-Record file over serial line 3760loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 3761md - memory display 3762mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 3763nm - memory modify (constant address) 3764mw - memory write (fill) 3765cp - memory copy 3766cmp - memory compare 3767crc32 - checksum calculation 3768i2c - I2C sub-system 3769sspi - SPI utility commands 3770base - print or set address offset 3771printenv- print environment variables 3772setenv - set environment variables 3773saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 3774protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 3775erase - erase FLASH memory 3776flinfo - print FLASH memory information 3777bdinfo - print Board Info structure 3778iminfo - print header information for application image 3779coninfo - print console devices and informations 3780ide - IDE sub-system 3781loop - infinite loop on address range 3782loopw - infinite write loop on address range 3783mtest - simple RAM test 3784icache - enable or disable instruction cache 3785dcache - enable or disable data cache 3786reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 3787echo - echo args to console 3788version - print monitor version 3789help - print online help 3790? - alias for 'help' 3791 3792 3793Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 3794======================================== 3795 3796TODO. 3797 3798For now: just type "help <command>". 3799 3800 3801Environment Variables: 3802====================== 3803 3804U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 3805can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 3806 3807Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 3808"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 3809without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 3810environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 3811working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 3812environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 3813 3814Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 3815 3816List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 3817 3818 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 3819 3820 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 3821 3822 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 3823 3824 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 3825 3826 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 3827 3828 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3829 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3830 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 3831 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 3832 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 3833 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 3834 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 3835 bootm_mapsize. 3836 3837 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 3838 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 3839 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 3840 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 3841 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 3842 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 3843 used otherwise. 3844 3845 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3846 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3847 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 3848 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 3849 environment variable. 3850 3851 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 3852 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 3853 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 3854 3855 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 3856 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 3857 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 3858 load any image using TFTP 3859 3860 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 3861 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 3862 be automatically started (by internally calling 3863 "bootm") 3864 3865 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 3866 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 3867 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 3868 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 3869 data. 3870 3871 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 3872 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 3873 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 3874 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 3875 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 3876 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 3877 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 3878 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 3879 access it during the boot procedure. 3880 3881 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 3882 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 3883 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 3884 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 3885 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 3886 must be accessible by the kernel. 3887 3888 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 3889 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 3890 defined. 3891 3892 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 3893 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 3894 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 3895 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 3896 it must be saved and board must be reset. 3897 3898 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 3899 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 3900 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 3901 is usually what you want since it allows for 3902 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 3903 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 3904 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 3905 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 3906 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 3907 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 3908 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 3909 3910 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 3911 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 3912 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 3913 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 3914 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 3915 12 MB as well - this can be done with 3916 3917 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 3918 3919 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 3920 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 3921 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 3922 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 3923 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 3924 boot time on your system, but requires that this 3925 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 3926 3927 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3928 3929 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 3930 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 3931 3932 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 3933 3934 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3935 3936 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 3937 3938 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 3939 3940 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 3941 3942 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 3943 3944 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 3945 For example you can do the following 3946 3947 => setenv ethact FEC 3948 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 3949 => setenv ethact SCC 3950 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 3951 3952 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 3953 available network interfaces. 3954 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 3955 3956 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 3957 either succeed or fail without retrying. 3958 When set to "once" the network operation will 3959 fail when all the available network interfaces 3960 are tried once without success. 3961 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 3962 themselves. 3963 3964 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 3965 3966 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 3967 UDP source port. 3968 3969 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 3970 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 3971 3972 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 3973 we use the TFTP server's default block size 3974 3975 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 3976 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 3977 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 3978 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 3979 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 3980 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 3981 with unreliable TFTP servers. 3982 3983 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 3984 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 3985 VLAN tagged frames. 3986 3987The following image location variables contain the location of images 3988used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 3989not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 3990variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 3991server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 3992loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 3993flash or offset in NAND flash. 3994 3995*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 3996boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 3997boards use these variables for other purposes. 3998 3999Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4000----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4001u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4002Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4003device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4004ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4005 4006The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4007updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4008depending the information provided by your boot server: 4009 4010 bootfile - see above 4011 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4012 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4013 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4014 hostname - Target hostname 4015 ipaddr - see above 4016 netmask - Subnet Mask 4017 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4018 serverip - see above 4019 4020 4021There are two special Environment Variables: 4022 4023 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4024 as type string and/or serial number 4025 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4026 4027These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4028the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4029once they have been set once. 4030 4031 4032Further special Environment Variables: 4033 4034 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4035 with the "version" command. This variable is 4036 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4037 4038 4039Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4040only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4041 4042 4043Command Line Parsing: 4044===================== 4045 4046There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4047the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4048 4049Old, simple command line parser: 4050-------------------------------- 4051 4052- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4053- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4054- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4055- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4056 for example: 4057 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4058- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4059 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4060 4061Hush shell: 4062----------- 4063 4064- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4065 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4066 until...do...done, ... 4067- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4068 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4069 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4070 command 4071 4072General rules: 4073-------------- 4074 4075(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4076 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4077 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4078 executed anyway. 4079 4080(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4081 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4082 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4083 variables are not executed. 4084 4085Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4086======================================= 4087 4088Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4089such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4090"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4091 4092Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4093MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4094"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4095 4096If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4097in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4098ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4099variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4100 4101o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4102 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4103 4104o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4105 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4106 used. 4107 4108o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4109 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4110 4111o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4112 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4113 warning is printed. 4114 4115o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4116 is raised. 4117 4118If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4119will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4120may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4121The naming convention is as follows: 4122"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4123 4124Image Formats: 4125============== 4126 4127U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4128images in two formats: 4129 4130New uImage format (FIT) 4131----------------------- 4132 4133Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4134to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4135components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4136SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4137 4138 4139Old uImage format 4140----------------- 4141 4142Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4143preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4144details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4145 4146* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4147 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4148 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4149 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4150 INTEGRITY). 4151* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4152 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4153 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4154* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4155* Load Address 4156* Entry Point 4157* Image Name 4158* Image Timestamp 4159 4160The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4161and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4162CRC32 checksums. 4163 4164 4165Linux Support: 4166============== 4167 4168Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4169easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4170U-Boot. 4171 4172U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4173special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4174"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4175instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4176serves several purposes: 4177 4178- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4179 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4180 Flash memory footprint) 4181 4182- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4183 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4184 4185- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4186 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4187 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4188 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4189 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4190 software is easier now. 4191 4192 4193Linux HOWTO: 4194============ 4195 4196Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4197--------------------------------------- 4198 4199U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4200configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4201(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4202Linux :-). 4203 4204But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4205 4206Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4207include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4208Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4209and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4210as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4211 4212 4213Configuring the Linux kernel: 4214----------------------------- 4215 4216No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4217device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4218 4219 4220Building a Linux Image: 4221----------------------- 4222 4223With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4224not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4225"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4226U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4227which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4228100% compatible format. 4229 4230Example: 4231 4232 make TQM850L_config 4233 make oldconfig 4234 make dep 4235 make uImage 4236 4237The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4238encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4239CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4240 4241* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4242 4243* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4244 4245 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4246 -R .note -R .comment \ 4247 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4248 4249* compress the binary image: 4250 4251 gzip -9 linux.bin 4252 4253* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4254 4255 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4256 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4257 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4258 4259 4260The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4261with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4262combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4263byte header containing information about target architecture, 4264operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4265stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4266 4267"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4268print the header information, or to build new images. 4269 4270In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4271contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4272checksum verification: 4273 4274 tools/mkimage -l image 4275 -l ==> list image header information 4276 4277The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4278from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4279 4280 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4281 -n name -d data_file image 4282 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4283 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4284 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4285 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4286 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4287 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4288 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4289 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4290 4291Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4292address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4293kernel version: 4294 4295- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4296- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4297 4298So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4299 4300 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4301 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4302 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4303 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4304 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4305 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4306 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4307 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4308 Load Address: 0x00000000 4309 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4310 4311To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4312 4313 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4314 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4315 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4316 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4317 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4318 Load Address: 0x00000000 4319 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4320 4321NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4322speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4323needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4324need to be uncompressed: 4325 4326 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4327 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4328 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4329 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4330 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4331 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4332 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4333 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4334 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4335 Load Address: 0x00000000 4336 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4337 4338 4339Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4340when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4341 4342 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4343 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4344 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4345 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4346 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4347 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4348 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4349 Load Address: 0x00000000 4350 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4351 4352 4353Installing a Linux Image: 4354------------------------- 4355 4356To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4357you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4358 4359 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4360 4361The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4362image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4363address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 4544 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 4545 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 4546 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 4547 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 4548 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 4549 being started. 4550 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 4551 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 4552 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 4553 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 4554 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 4555 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 4556 4557 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 4558 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 4559 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 4560 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 4561 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 4562 a multiple of 4 bytes). 4563 4564 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 4565 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 4566 flash memory. 4567 4568 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 4569 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 4570 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 4571 as command interpreter. 4572 4573Booting the Linux zImage: 4574------------------------- 4575 4576On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 4577using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 4578as the syntax of "bootm" command. 4579 4580Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply 4581kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 4582address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 4583format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 4584 4585 4586Standalone HOWTO: 4587================= 4588 4589One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 4590run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 4591U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 4592 4593Two simple examples are included with the sources: 4594 4595"Hello World" Demo: 4596------------------- 4597 4598'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 4599application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 4600It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 4601like that: 4602 4603 => loads 4604 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4605 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 4606 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4607 [file transfer complete] 4608 [connected] 4609 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4610 4611 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 4632controlled by the following keys: 4633 4634 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 4635 b - enable interrupts and start timer 4636 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 4637 q - quit application 4638 4639 => loads 4640 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4641 ~>examples/timer.srec 4642 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4643 [file transfer complete] 4644 [connected] 4645 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4646 4647 => go 40004 4648 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 4649 TIMERS=0xfff00980 4650 Using timer 1 4651 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 4652 4653Hit 'b': 4654 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 4655 Enabling timer 4656Hit '?': 4657 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 4658 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 4659Hit '?': 4660 [q, b, e, ?] . 4661 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 4662Hit '?': 4663 [q, b, e, ?] . 4664 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 4665Hit '?': 4666 [q, b, e, ?] . 4667 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 4668Hit 'e': 4669 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 4670Hit 'q': 4671 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 4672 4673 4674Minicom warning: 4675================ 4676 4677Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 4678"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 4679consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 4680Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 4681especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 4682use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). 4683 4684Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 4685configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 4686 4687 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 4704 4705 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 4706 # mkdir powerpc 4707 # ln -s powerpc machine 4708 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 4709 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 4710 4711Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 4712and U-Boot include files. 4713 4714Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 4715stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 4716proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 4717tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 4718meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 4719 4720 4721Implementation Internals: 4722========================= 4723 4724The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 4725implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 4726inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 4727hardware. 4728 4729 4730Initial Stack, Global Data: 4731--------------------------- 4732 4733The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 4734starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 4735system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 4736This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 4737is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 4738at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 4739options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 4740models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 4741MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 4742locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 4743 4744 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 4745 U-Boot mailing list: 4746 4747 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 4748 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 4749 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 4750 ... 4751 4752 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 4753 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 4754 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 4755 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 4756 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 4757 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 4758 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 4759 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 4760 4761 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 4762 is another option for the system designer to use as an 4763 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 4764 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 4765 board designers haven't used it for something that would 4766 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 4767 used. 4768 4769 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 4770 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 4771 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 4772 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 4773 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 4774 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 4775 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 4776 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 4777 you get the config right. 4778 4779 -Chris Hallinan 4780 DS4.COM, Inc. 4781 4782It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 4783code for the initialization procedures: 4784 4785* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 4786 to write it. 4787 4788* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 4789 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 4790 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 4791 4792* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 4793 that. 4794 4795Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 4796normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 4797turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 4798simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 4799functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 4800functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 4801the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 4802place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 4803reserve for this purpose. 4804 4805When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 4806relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 4807GCC's implementation. 4808 4809For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 4810 R1: stack pointer 4811 R2: reserved for system use 4812 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 4813 R5-R10: parameter passing 4814 R13: small data area pointer 4815 R30: GOT pointer 4816 R31: frame pointer 4817 4818 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 4819 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 4820 going back and forth between asm and C) 4821 4822 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 4823 4824 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 4825 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 4826 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 4827 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 4828 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 4829 624 text + 127 data). 4830 4831On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 4832 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 4833 4834 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 4835 4836On ARM, the following registers are used: 4837 4838 R0: function argument word/integer result 4839 R1-R3: function argument word 4840 R9: GOT pointer 4841 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 4842 R11: argument (frame) pointer 4843 R12: temporary workspace 4844 R13: stack pointer 4845 R14: link register 4846 R15: program counter 4847 4848 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 4849 4850On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 4851 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 4852 4853 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 4854 4855 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 4856 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 4857 4858On NDS32, the following registers are used: 4859 4860 R0-R1: argument/return 4861 R2-R5: argument 4862 R15: temporary register for assembler 4863 R16: trampoline register 4864 R28: frame pointer (FP) 4865 R29: global pointer (GP) 4866 R30: link register (LP) 4867 R31: stack pointer (SP) 4868 PC: program counter (PC) 4869 4870 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 4871 4872NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 4873or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 4874 4875Memory Management: 4876------------------ 4877 4878U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 4879MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 4880 4881The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 4882controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 4883memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 4884physical memory banks. 4885 4886U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 4887TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 4888booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 4889to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 4890memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 4891configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 4892Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 4893 4894Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 4895of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 4896 4897So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 4898this: 4899 4900 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 4901 : 4902 0x0000 1FFF 4903 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 4904 : 4905 : 4906 4907 : 4908 : 4909 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 4910 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 4911 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 4912 : 4913 0x00FD FFFF 4914 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 4915 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 4916 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 4917 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 4918 4919 4920System Initialization: 4921---------------------- 4922 4923In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 4924(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 4925configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 4926To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 4927To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 4928initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 4929which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 4930part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 4931the caches and the SIU. 4932 4933Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 4934preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 4935(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 4936on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 4937programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 4938simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 4939banks. 4940 4941When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 4942different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 4943bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 49440x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 4945contiguous memory starting from 0. 4946 4947Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 4948and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 4949Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 4950pages, and the final stack is set up. 4951 4952Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 4953until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 4954running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 4955new address in RAM. 4956 4957 4958U-Boot Porting Guide: 4959---------------------- 4960 4961[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 4962list, October 2002] 4963 4964 4965int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 4966{ 4967 sighandler_t no_more_time; 4968 4969 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 4970 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 4971 4972 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 4973 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 4974 return 0; 4975 } 4976 4977 Download latest U-Boot source; 4978 4979 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 4980 4981 if (clueless) 4982 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 4983 4984 while (learning) { 4985 Read the README file in the top level directory; 4986 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 4987 Read applicable doc/*.README; 4988 Read the source, Luke; 4989 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 4990 } 4991 4992 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 4993 Buy a BDI3000; 4994 else 4995 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 4996 4997 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 4998 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 4999 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5000 } else { 5001 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5002 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5003 } 5004 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5005 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5006 5007 while (!accepted) { 5008 while (!running) { 5009 do { 5010 Add / modify source code; 5011 } until (compiles); 5012 Debug; 5013 if (clueless) 5014 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5015 } 5016 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5017 if (reasonable critiques) 5018 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5019 else 5020 Defend code as written; 5021 } 5022 5023 return 0; 5024} 5025 5026void no_more_time (int sig) 5027{ 5028 hire_a_guru(); 5029} 5030 5031 5032Coding Standards: 5033----------------- 5034 5035All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5036coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5037"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5038 5039Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5040MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5041reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5042sources. 5043 5044Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5045Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5046in your code. 5047 5048Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5049- remove any trailing white space 5050- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5051- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5052- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5053- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5054 5055Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5056with a request to reformat the changes. 5057 5058 5059Submitting Patches: 5060------------------- 5061 5062Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5063establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5064may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5065 5066Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5067 5068Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5069see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5070 5071When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5072it: 5073 5074* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5075 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5076 patch actually fixes something. 5077 5078* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5079 implementation. 5080 5081* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5082 5083* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5084 5085* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 5086 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 5087 5088* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5089 document these in the README file. 5090 5091* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5092 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5093 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5094 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5095 with some other mail clients. 5096 5097 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5098 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5099 GNU diff. 5100 5101 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5102 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5103 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5104 affected files). 5105 5106 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5107 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5108 5109* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5110 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5111 5112* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5113 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5114 5115 5116Notes: 5117 5118* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5119 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5120 for any of the boards. 5121 5122* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5123 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5124 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5125 5126* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5127 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5128 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5129 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5130 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5131 modification. 5132 5133* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5134 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5135 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5136 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5137
