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 /at91rm9200 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 /lib Architecture specific library files 184 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 185 /cpu CPU specific files 186 /lib Architecture specific library files 187 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 188 /cpu CPU specific files 189 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 190 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 191 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 192 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 193 /mpc8220 Files specific to Freescale MPC8220 CPUs 194 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 195 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 196 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 197 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 198 /lib Architecture specific library files 199 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 200 /cpu CPU specific files 201 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 202 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 203 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 204 /lib Architecture specific library files 205 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 206 /cpu CPU specific files 207 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 208 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 209 /lib Architecture specific library files 210/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 211/board Board dependent files 212/common Misc architecture independent functions 213/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 214/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 215/drivers Commonly used device drivers 216/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 217/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 218/include Header Files 219/lib Files generic to all architectures 220 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 221 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 222 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 223/net Networking code 224/post Power On Self Test 225/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 226/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 227 228Software Configuration: 229======================= 230 231Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 232rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 233 234There are two classes of configuration variables: 235 236* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 237 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 238 "CONFIG_". 239 240* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 241 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 242 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 243 "CONFIG_SYS_". 244 245Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 246identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 247do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 248links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 249as an example here. 250 251 252Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 253--------------------------------------------------- 254 255For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 256configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 257 258Example: For a TQM823L module type: 259 260 cd u-boot 261 make TQM823L_config 262 263For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 264e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 265directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 266 267 268Configuration Options: 269---------------------- 270 271Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 272such information is kept in a configuration file 273"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 274 275Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 276"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 277 278 279Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 280kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 281build a config tool - later. 282 283 284The following options need to be configured: 285 286- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 287 288- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 289 290- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 291 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 292 293- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 294 Define exactly one of 295 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 296--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 297 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 298 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 299 300- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 301 Define exactly one of 302 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 303 304- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 305 Define one or more of 306 CONFIG_CMA302 307 308- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 309 Define one or more of 310 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 311 the LCD display every second with 312 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 313 314- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 315 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 316 Possible values are: 317 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 318 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 319 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 320 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 321 322- Marvell Family Member 323 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 324 multiple fs option at one time 325 for marvell soc family 326 327- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 328 Define exactly one of 329 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 330 331- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 332 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 333 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 334 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 335 reference PIT/RTC clock 336 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 337 or XTAL/EXTAL) 338 339- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 340 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 341 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 342 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 343 See doc/README.MPC866 344 345 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 346 347 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 348 of relying on the correctness of the configured 349 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 350 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 351 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 352 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 353 354 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 355 356 Define this option if you want to enable the 357 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 358 359- 85xx CPU Options: 360 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 361 362 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 363 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 364 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 365 366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 367 368 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 369 tree nodes for the given platform. 370 371- Intel Monahans options: 372 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 373 374 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 375 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 376 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 377 378 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 379 380 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 381 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 382 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 383 by this value. 384 385- Linux Kernel Interface: 386 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 387 388 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 389 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 390 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 391 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 392 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 393 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 394 Linux kernel. 395 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 396 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 397 default environment. 398 399 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 400 401 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 402 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 403 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 404 405 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 406 407 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 408 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 409 concepts). 410 411 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 412 * New libfdt-based support 413 * Adds the "fdt" command 414 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 415 416 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 417 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 418 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 419 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 420 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 421 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 422 423 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 424 addresses 425 426 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 427 428 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 429 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 430 431 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 432 433 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 434 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 435 436 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 437 438 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 439 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 440 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 441 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 442 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 443 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 444 445- vxWorks boot parameters: 446 447 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 448 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 449 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 450 451 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 452 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 453 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 454 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 455 456 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 457 458 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 459 460 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 461 the defaults discussed just above. 462 463- Serial Ports: 464 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 465 466 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 467 468 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 469 470 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 471 472 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 473 474 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 475 the clock speed of the UARTs. 476 477 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 478 479 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 480 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 481 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 482 483 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 484 485 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 486 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 487 this variable to initialize the extra register. 488 489 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 490 491 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 492 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 493 variable to flush the UART at init time. 494 495 496- Console Interface: 497 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 498 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 499 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 500 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 501 502 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 503 port routines must be defined elsewhere 504 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 505 506 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 507 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 508 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx) 509 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 510 (default big endian) 511 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 512 rectangle fill 513 (cf. smiLynxEM) 514 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 515 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 516 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 517 (cols=pitch) 518 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 519 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 520 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 521 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 522 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 523 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 524 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 525 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 526 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 527 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 528 (i.e. i8042_getc) 529 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 530 (requires blink timer 531 cf. i8042.c) 532 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 533 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 534 upper right corner 535 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 536 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 537 upper left corner 538 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 539 linux_logo.h for logo. 540 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 541 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 542 additional board info beside 543 the logo 544 545 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 546 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 547 environment 'console=serial'. 548 549 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 550 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 551 the "silent" environment variable. See 552 doc/README.silent for more information. 553 554- Console Baudrate: 555 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 556 Select one of the baudrates listed in 557 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 558 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 559 560- Console Rx buffer length 561 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 562 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 563 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 564 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 565 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 566 the SMC. 567 568- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 569 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 570 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 571 572 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 573 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 574 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 575 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 576 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 577 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 578 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 579 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 580 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 581 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 582 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 583 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 584 585- Autoboot Command: 586 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 587 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 588 define a command string that is automatically executed 589 when no character is read on the console interface 590 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 591 592 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 593 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 594 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 595 environment value "bootargs". 596 597 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 598 The value of these goes into the environment as 599 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 600 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 601 RAM and NFS. 602 603- Pre-Boot Commands: 604 CONFIG_PREBOOT 605 606 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 607 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 608 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 609 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 610 entering interactive mode. 611 612 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 613 automatically generated or modified. For an example 614 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 615 modified when the user holds down a certain 616 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 617 booting the systems 618 619- Serial Download Echo Mode: 620 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 621 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 622 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 623 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 624 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 625 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 626 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 627 628- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 629 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 630 Select one of the baudrates listed in 631 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 632 633- Monitor Functions: 634 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 635 from the build by using the #include files 636 "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted 637 commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h" 638 and augmenting with additional #define's 639 for wanted commands. 640 641 The default command configuration includes all commands 642 except those marked below with a "*". 643 644 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 645 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 646 CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger 647 CONFIG_CMD_BMP * BMP support 648 CONFIG_CMD_BSP * Board specific commands 649 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTD bootd 650 CONFIG_CMD_CACHE * icache, dcache 651 CONFIG_CMD_CONSOLE coninfo 652 CONFIG_CMD_CRC32 * crc32 653 CONFIG_CMD_DATE * support for RTC, date/time... 654 CONFIG_CMD_DHCP * DHCP support 655 CONFIG_CMD_DIAG * Diagnostics 656 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510 * ds4510 I2C gpio commands 657 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_INFO * ds4510 I2C info command 658 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_MEM * ds4510 I2C eeprom/sram commansd 659 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_RST * ds4510 I2C rst command 660 CONFIG_CMD_DTT * Digital Therm and Thermostat 661 CONFIG_CMD_ECHO echo arguments 662 CONFIG_CMD_EDITENV edit env variable 663 CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM * EEPROM read/write support 664 CONFIG_CMD_ELF * bootelf, bootvx 665 CONFIG_CMD_EXPORTENV * export the environment 666 CONFIG_CMD_SAVEENV saveenv 667 CONFIG_CMD_FDC * Floppy Disk Support 668 CONFIG_CMD_FAT * FAT partition support 669 CONFIG_CMD_FDOS * Dos diskette Support 670 CONFIG_CMD_FLASH flinfo, erase, protect 671 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA FPGA device initialization support 672 CONFIG_CMD_GO * the 'go' command (exec code) 673 CONFIG_CMD_GREPENV * search environment 674 CONFIG_CMD_HWFLOW * RTS/CTS hw flow control 675 CONFIG_CMD_I2C * I2C serial bus support 676 CONFIG_CMD_IDE * IDE harddisk support 677 CONFIG_CMD_IMI iminfo 678 CONFIG_CMD_IMLS List all found images 679 CONFIG_CMD_IMMAP * IMMR dump support 680 CONFIG_CMD_IMPORTENV * import an environment 681 CONFIG_CMD_IRQ * irqinfo 682 CONFIG_CMD_ITEST Integer/string test of 2 values 683 CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2 * JFFS2 Support 684 CONFIG_CMD_KGDB * kgdb 685 CONFIG_CMD_LDRINFO ldrinfo (display Blackfin loader) 686 CONFIG_CMD_LOADB loadb 687 CONFIG_CMD_LOADS loads 688 CONFIG_CMD_MD5SUM print md5 message digest 689 (requires CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY and CONFIG_MD5) 690 CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY md, mm, nm, mw, cp, cmp, crc, base, 691 loop, loopw, mtest 692 CONFIG_CMD_MISC Misc functions like sleep etc 693 CONFIG_CMD_MMC * MMC memory mapped support 694 CONFIG_CMD_MII * MII utility commands 695 CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS * MTD partition support 696 CONFIG_CMD_NAND * NAND support 697 CONFIG_CMD_NET bootp, tftpboot, rarpboot 698 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X * PCA953x I2C gpio commands 699 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X_INFO * PCA953x I2C gpio info command 700 CONFIG_CMD_PCI * pciinfo 701 CONFIG_CMD_PCMCIA * PCMCIA support 702 CONFIG_CMD_PING * send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network 703 host 704 CONFIG_CMD_PORTIO * Port I/O 705 CONFIG_CMD_REGINFO * Register dump 706 CONFIG_CMD_RUN run command in env variable 707 CONFIG_CMD_SAVES * save S record dump 708 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI * SCSI Support 709 CONFIG_CMD_SDRAM * print SDRAM configuration information 710 (requires CONFIG_CMD_I2C) 711 CONFIG_CMD_SETGETDCR Support for DCR Register access 712 (4xx only) 713 CONFIG_CMD_SHA1SUM print sha1 memory digest 714 (requires CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY) 715 CONFIG_CMD_SOURCE "source" command Support 716 CONFIG_CMD_SPI * SPI serial bus support 717 CONFIG_CMD_TFTPSRV * TFTP transfer in server mode 718 CONFIG_CMD_USB * USB support 719 CONFIG_CMD_CDP * Cisco Discover Protocol support 720 CONFIG_CMD_FSL * Microblaze FSL support 721 722 723 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network 724 support you can write: 725 726 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 727 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 728 729 Other Commands: 730 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 731 732 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 733 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 734 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 735 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 736 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 737 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 738 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 739 initial stack and some data. 740 741 742 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 743 744- Watchdog: 745 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 746 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 747 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 748 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 749 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 750 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 751 available, then no further board specific code should 752 be needed to use it. 753 754 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 755 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 756 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 757 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 758 759- U-Boot Version: 760 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 761 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 762 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 763 version as printed by the "version" command. 764 This variable is readonly. 765 766- Real-Time Clock: 767 768 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 769 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 770 following options: 771 772 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 773 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 774 CONFIG_RTC_MC13783 - use MC13783 RTC 775 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 776 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc.

MAX6900 RTC 782 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 783 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 784 RV3029 RTC. 785 786 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 787 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 788 789- GPIO Support: 790 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 791 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 792 793 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 794 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 795 pins supported by a particular chip. 796 797 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 798 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 799 800- Timestamp Support: 801 802 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 803 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 804 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 805 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 806 807- Partition Support: 808 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION 809 and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION 810 811 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 812 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 813 least one partition type as well. 814 815- IDE Reset method: 816 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 817 board configurations files but used nowhere! 818 819 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 820 be performed by calling the function 821 ide_set_reset(int reset) 822 which has to be defined in a board specific file 823 824- ATAPI Support: 825 CONFIG_ATAPI 826 827 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 828 829- LBA48 Support 830 CONFIG_LBA48 831 832 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 833 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 834 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 835 support disks up to 2.1TB. 836 837 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 838 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 839 Default is 32bit. 840 841- SCSI Support: 842 At the moment only there is only support for the 843 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 844 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 845 846 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 847 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 848 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 849 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 850 devices. 851 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 852 853- NETWORK Support (PCI): 854 CONFIG_E1000 855 Support for Intel 8254x gigabit chips. 856 857 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 858 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 859 860 CONFIG_EEPRO100 861 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 862 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 863 write routine for first time initialisation. 864 865 CONFIG_TULIP 866 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 867 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 868 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 869 870 CONFIG_NATSEMI 871 Support for National dp83815 chips. 872 873 CONFIG_NS8382X 874 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 875 876- NETWORK Support (other): 877 878 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 879 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 880 881 CONFIG_RMII 882 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 883 884 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 885 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 886 The driver doen't show link status messages. 887 888 CONFIG_DRIVER_LAN91C96 889 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 890 891 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 892 Define this to hold the physical address 893 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 894 895 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 896 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 897 898 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC91111 899 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 900 901 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 902 Define this to hold the physical address 903 of the device (I/O space) 904 905 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 906 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 907 908 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 909 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 910 (some hardware wont work with macros) 911 912 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 913 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 914 915 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 916 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 917 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 918 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 919 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 920 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 921 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 922 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 923 924 CONFIG_SMC911X 925 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 926 927 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 928 Define this to hold the physical address 929 of the device (I/O space) 930 931 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 932 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 933 934 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 935 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 936 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 937 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 938 939 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 940 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 941 942 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 943 Define the number of ports to be used 944 945 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 946 Define the ETH PHY's address 947 948 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 949 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 950 951- USB Support: 952 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 953 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 954 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 955 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 956 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 957 storage devices. 958 Note: 959 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 960 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 961 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 962 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 963 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 964 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 965 for USB on PSC3 966 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 967 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 968 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 969 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 970 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 971 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 972 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 973 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 974 975- USB Device: 976 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 977 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 978 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 979 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 980 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 981 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 982 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 983 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 984 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 985 a Linux host by 986 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 987 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 988 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 989 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 990 991 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 992 Define this to build a UDC device 993 994 CONFIG_USB_TTY 995 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 996 talk to the UDC device 997 998 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 999 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1000 be set to usbtty. 1001 1002 mpc8xx: 1003 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1004 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1005 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1006 1007 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1008 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1009 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1010 1011 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1012 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1013 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1014 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1015 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1016 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1017 1018 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1019 Define this string as the name of your company for 1020 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1021 1022 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1023 Define this string as the name of your product 1024 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1025 1026 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1027 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1028 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1029 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1030 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1031 1032 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1033 Define this as the unique Product ID 1034 for your device 1035 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1036 1037 1038- MMC Support: 1039 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1040 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1041 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1042 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1043 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1044 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1045 1046- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1047 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1048 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1049 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1050 1051 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1052 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1053 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1054 1055 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1056 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1057 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1058 1059 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1060 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1061 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1062 have not defined a custom partition 1063 1064- Keyboard Support: 1065 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1066 1067 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1068 support 1069 1070 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1071 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1072 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1073 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1074 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1075 1076- Video support: 1077 CONFIG_VIDEO 1078 1079 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1080 video). 1081 1082 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1083 1084 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1085 1086 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1087 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1088 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1089 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1090 assumed. 1091 1092 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1093 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1094 are possible: 1095 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1096 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1097 1098 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1099 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1100 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1101 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1102 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1103 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1104 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1105 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1106 1107 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1108 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1109 1110 1111 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1112 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1113 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1114 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1115 1116 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1117 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1118 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1119 support, and should also define these other macros: 1120 1121 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1122 CONFIG_VIDEO 1123 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1124 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1125 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1126 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1127 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1128 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1129 1130 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1131 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1132 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1133 description of this variable. 1134 1135- Keyboard Support: 1136 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1137 1138 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1139 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1140 defined in your board-specific files. 1141 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1142 1143- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1144 1145 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1146 display); also select one of the supported displays 1147 by defining one of these: 1148 1149 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1150 1151 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1152 1153 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1154 1155 NEC NL6448AC33-18.

Black & white. 1191 1192 Normally display is black on white background; define 1193 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1194 1195- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1196 1197 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1198 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1199 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1200 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1201 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1202 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1203 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1204 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1205 1206 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1207 1208 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1209 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1210 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1211 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1212 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1213 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1214 1215 Example: 1216 setenv splashpos m,m 1217 => image at center of screen 1218 1219 setenv splashpos 30,20 1220 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1221 1222 setenv splashpos -10,m 1223 => vertically centered image 1224 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1225 1226- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1227 1228 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1229 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1230 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1231 1232- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1233 1234 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1235 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1236 bmp command. 1237 1238- Compression support: 1239 CONFIG_BZIP2 1240 1241 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1242 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1243 compressed images are supported. 1244 1245 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1246 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1247 be at least 4MB. 1248 1249 CONFIG_LZMA 1250 1251 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1252 images is included. 1253 1254 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1255 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1256 formula: 1257 1258 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1259 1260 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1261 and Literal pos bits. 1262 1263 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1264 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1265 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1266 a very small buffer. 1267 1268 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1269 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1270 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1271 1272- MII/PHY support: 1273 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1274 1275 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1276 1277 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1278 1279 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1280 1281 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1282 1283 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1284 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1285 1286 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1287 1288 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1289 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1290 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1291 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1292 1293 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1294 1295 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1296 command issued before MII status register can be read 1297 1298- Ethernet address: 1299 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1300 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1301 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1302 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1303 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1304 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1305 1306 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1307 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1308 is not determined automatically. 1309 1310- IP address: 1311 CONFIG_IPADDR 1312 1313 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1314 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1315 determined through e.g. bootp. 1316 1317- Server IP address: 1318 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1319 1320 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1321 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1322 1323 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1324 1325 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1326 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1327 1328- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1329 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1330 1331 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1332 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1333 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1334 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1335 multicast group. 1336 1337- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1338 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1339 1340 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1341 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1342 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1343 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1344 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1345 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1346 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1347 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1348 following delays are inserted then: 1349 1350 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1351 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1352 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1353 4th and following 1354 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1355 1356- DHCP Advanced Options: 1357 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1358 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1359 1360 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1361 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1362 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1363 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1364 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1365 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1366 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1367 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1368 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1369 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1370 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1371 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1372 1373 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1374 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1375 1376 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1377 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1378 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1379 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1380 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1381 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1382 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1383 is defined. 1384 1385 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1386 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1387 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1388 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1389 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1390 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1391 1392 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1393 1394 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1395 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1396 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1397 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1398 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1399 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1400 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1401 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1402 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1403 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1404 this delay. 1405 1406 - CDP Options: 1407 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1408 1409 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1410 1411 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1412 1413 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1414 of the device. 1415 1416 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1417 1418 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1419 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1420 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1421 1422 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1423 1424 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1425 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1426 1427 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1428 1429 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1430 1431 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1432 1433 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1434 1435 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1436 1437 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1438 1439 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1440 1441 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1442 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1443 1444 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1445 1446 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1447 1448- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1449 1450 Several configurations allow to display the current 1451 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1452 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1453 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1454 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1455 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1456 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1457 feature in U-Boot. 1458 1459- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1460 1461 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1462 on those systems that support this (optional) 1463 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1464 1465- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1466 1467 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1468 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1469 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1470 1471 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1472 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1473 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1474 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1475 command line interface. 1476 1477 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1478 1479 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1480 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1481 support for I2C. 1482 1483 There are several other quantities that must also be 1484 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1485 1486 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1487 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1488 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1489 the CPU's i2c node address). 1490 1491 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1492 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1493 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1494 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1495 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1496 1497 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1498 1499 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1500 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1501 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1502 commands until the slave device responds. 1503 1504 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1505 1506 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1507 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1508 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1509 1510 I2C_INIT 1511 1512 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1513 controller or configure ports. 1514 1515 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1516 1517 I2C_PORT 1518 1519 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1520 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1521 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1522 1523 I2C_ACTIVE 1524 1525 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1526 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1527 define can be null. 1528 1529 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1530 1531 I2C_TRISTATE 1532 1533 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1534 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1535 define can be null. 1536 1537 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1538 1539 I2C_READ 1540 1541 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high, 1542 FALSE if it is low. 1543 1544 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1545 1546 I2C_SDA(bit) 1547 1548 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1549 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1550 1551 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1552 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1553 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1554 1555 I2C_SCL(bit) 1556 1557 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1558 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1559 1560 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1561 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1562 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1563 1564 I2C_DELAY 1565 1566 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1567 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1568 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1569 like: 1570 1571 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 1572 1573 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 1574 1575 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 1576 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 1577 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 1578 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 1579 1580 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 1581 the generic GPIO functions. 1582 1583 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 1584 1585 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1586 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1587 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 1588 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 1589 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 1590 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 1591 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 1592 is run early in the boot sequence. 1593 1594 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 1595 1596 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 1597 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 1598 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 1599 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 1600 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 1601 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 1602 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 1603 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 1604 1605 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 1606 1607 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 1608 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 1609 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 1610 1611 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1612 1613 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 1614 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 1615 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 1616 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 1617 1618 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 1619 1620 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 1621 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1622 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 1623 a 1D array of device addresses 1624 1625 e.g. 1626 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1627 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 1628 1629 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 1630 1631 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1632 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 1633 1634 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 1635 1636 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 1637 1638 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 1639 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 1640 1641 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 1642 1643 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 1644 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 1645 1646 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 1647 1648 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 1649 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 1650 1651 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 1652 1653 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 1654 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 1655 specified DTT device. 1656 1657 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 1658 1659 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 1660 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 1661 1662 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 1663 1664 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 1665 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 1666 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 1667 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 1668 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 1669 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 1670 1671 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 1672 feature! 1673 1674 Example: 1675 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 1676 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 1677 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 1678 1679 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 1680 1681 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 1682 of I2C Busses with muxes: 1683 1684 => i2c bus 1685 Busses reached over muxes: 1686 Bus ID: 2 1687 reached over Mux(es): 1688 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 1689 Bus ID: 3 1690 reached over Mux(es): 1691 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 1692 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 1693 => 1694 1695 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 1696 u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable 1697 channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable 1698 the channel 4. 1699 1700 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 1701 usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind 1702 the 2 muxes. 1703 1704 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 1705 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 1706 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 1707 to add this option to other architectures. 1708 1709 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 1710 1711 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 1712 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 1713 between writing the address pointer and reading the 1714 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 1715 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 1716 devices can use either method, but some require one or 1717 the other. 1718 1719- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 1720 1721 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 1722 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 1723 D/As on the SACSng board) 1724 1725 CONFIG_SH_SPI 1726 1727 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 1728 only SH7757 is supported. 1729 1730 CONFIG_SPI_X 1731 1732 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 1733 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 1734 1735 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 1736 1737 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 1738 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 1739 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 1740 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 1741 defined, the board configuration must define several 1742 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 1743 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 1744 1745 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 1746 1747 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 1748 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 1749 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 1750 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 1751 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 1752 1753 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 1754 1755 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 1756 SoCs. Currently only i.MX31 is supported. 1757 1758- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 1759 1760 Enables FPGA subsystem. 1761 1762 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 1763 1764 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 1765 (ALTERA, XILINX) 1766 1767 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 1768 1769 Enables support for FPGA family. 1770 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 1771 1772 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 1773 1774 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 1775 1776 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 1777 1778 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 1779 1780 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 1781 1782 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 1783 status by the configuration function. This option 1784 will require a board or device specific function to 1785 be written. 1786 1787 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 1788 1789 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 1790 configuration driver. 1791 1792 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 1793 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 1794 1795 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 1796 1797 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 1798 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 1799 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 1800 indicated a CRC error). 1801 1802 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 1803 1804 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 1805 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 1806 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 1807 ms. 1808 1809 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 1810 1811 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 1812 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 1813 1814 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 1815 1816 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 1817 200 ms. 1818 1819- Configuration Management: 1820 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 1821 1822 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 1823 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 1824 1825- Vendor Parameter Protection: 1826 1827 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 1828 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 1829 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 1830 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 1831 protects these variables from casual modification by 1832 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 1833 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 1834 change this behaviour: 1835 1836 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 1837 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 1838 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 1839 these parameters. 1840 1841 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 1842 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 1843 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 1844 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 1845 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 1846 read-only.] 1847 1848- Protected RAM: 1849 CONFIG_PRAM 1850 1851 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 1852 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 1853 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 1854 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 1855 this default value by defining an environment 1856 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 1857 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 1858 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 1859 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 1860 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 1861 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 1862 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 1863 1864 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 1865 saveenv 1866 1867 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 1868 either, which results in a memory region that will 1869 not be affected by reboots. 1870 1871 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 1872 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 1873 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 1874 following board configurations are known to be 1875 "pRAM-clean": 1876 1877 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 1878 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC, 1879 FLAGADM, TQM8260 1880 1881- Error Recovery: 1882 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 1883 1884 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 1885 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 1886 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 1887 system where you want the system to reboot 1888 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 1889 useful during development since you can try to debug 1890 the conditions that lead to the situation. 1891 1892 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 1893 1894 This variable defines the number of retries for 1895 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 1896 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 1897 default value of 5 is used. 1898 1899 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 1900 1901 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 1902 1903- Command Interpreter: 1904 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 1905 1906 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 1907 1908 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 1909 for the "hush" shell. 1910 1911 1912 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 1913 1914 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 1915 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 1916 powerful command line syntax like 1917 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 1918 constructs ("shell scripts"). 1919 1920 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 1921 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 1922 1923 1924 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 1925 1926 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 1927 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 1928 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 1929 1930 Note: 1931 1932 In the current implementation, the local variables 1933 space and global environment variables space are 1934 separated. Local variables are those you define by 1935 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 1936 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 1937 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 1938 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 1939 1940 Global environment variables are those you use 1941 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 1942 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 1943 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 1944 1945 To store commands and special characters in a 1946 variable, please use double quotation marks 1947 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 1948 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 1949 symbols. 1950 1951- Commandline Editing and History: 1952 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 1953 1954 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 1955 commandline input operations 1956 1957- Default Environment: 1958 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 1959 1960 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 1961 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 1962 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 1963 1964 For example, place something like this in your 1965 board's config file: 1966 1967 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 1968 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 1969 "myvar2=value2\0" 1970 1971 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 1972 internal format how the environment is stored by the 1973 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 1974 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 1975 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 1976 You better know what you are doing here. 1977 1978 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 1979 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 1980 the environment like the "source" command or the 1981 boot command first. 1982 1983- DataFlash Support: 1984 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 1985 1986 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 1987 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 1988 commands cp, md... 1989 1990- SystemACE Support: 1991 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 1992 1993 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 1994 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 1995 of the chip must also be defined in the 1996 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 1997 1998 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 1999 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2000 2001 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2002 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2003 2004- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2005 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2006 2007 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2008 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2009 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2010 number generator is used. 2011 2012 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2013 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2014 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2015 2016 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2017 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2018 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2019 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2020 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2021 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2022 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2023 2024- Show boot progress: 2025 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2026 2027 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2028 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2029 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2030 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2031 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2032 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2033 2034- Standalone program support: 2035 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2036 2037 This option allows to define board specific values 2038 for the address where standalone program gets loaded, 2039 thus overwriting the architecutre dependent default 2040 settings. 2041 2042- Frame Buffer Address: 2043 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2044 2045 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific address for 2046 frame buffer. 2047 Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to defined address 2048 instead of lcd_setmem (this function grab the memory for frame buffer 2049 by panel's size). 2050 2051 Please see board_init_f function. 2052 2053 If you want this config option then, 2054 please define it at your board config file 2055

CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2224 2225 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2226 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 2227 2228 2229Modem Support: 2230-------------- 2231 2232[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 2233 2234- Modem support enable: 2235 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 2236 2237- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 2238 CONFIG_HWFLOW 2239 2240- Modem debug support: 2241 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 2242 2243 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 2244 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 2245 2246- Interrupt support (PPC): 2247 2248 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 2249 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 2250 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 2251 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 2252 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 2253 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 2254 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 2255 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 2256 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 2257 general timer_interrupt(). 2258 2259- General: 2260 2261 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 2262 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 2263 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 2264 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 2265 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 2266 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 2267 initialization. 2268 2269 If there are no modem init strings in the 2270 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 2271 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 2272 suppressed, though. 2273 2274 See also: doc/README.Modem 2275 2276 2277Configuration Settings: 2278----------------------- 2279 2280- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 2281 undefine this when you're short of memory. 2282 2283- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 2284 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 2285 2286- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 2287 prompt for user input. 2288 2289- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 2290 2291- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 2292 2293- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 2294 2295- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 2296 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 2297 booted 2298 2299- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 2300 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 2301 2302- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 2303 Suppress display of console information at boot. 2304 2305- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 2306 If the board specific function 2307 extern int overwrite_console (void); 2308 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 2309 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 2310 2311- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 2312 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 2313 2314- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 2315 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 2316 2317- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 2318 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 2319 simple memory test. 2320 2321- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 2322 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 2323 2324- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 2325 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 2326 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 2327 2328- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 2329 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 2330 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 2331 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 2332 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 2333 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 2334 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 2335 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 2336 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 2337 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 2338 2339 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 2340 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 2341 be touched. 2342 2343 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 2344 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 2345 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 2346 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 2347 problems. 2348 2349- CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR: 2350 Default load address for network file downloads 2351 2352- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 2353 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 2354 2355- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 2356 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 2357 2358- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 2359 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 2360 Cogent motherboard) 2361 2362- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 2363 Physical start address of Flash memory. 2364 2365- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 2366 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 2367 make config files to be same as the text base address 2368 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 2369 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 2370 2371- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 2372 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 2373 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 2374 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 2375 flash sector. 2376 2377- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 2378 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 2379 2380- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 2381 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 2382 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 2383 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 2384 to adjust this setting to your needs. 2385 2386- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 2387 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 2388 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 2389 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 2390 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 2391 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 2392 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 2393 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 2394 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 2395 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 2396 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 2397 2398- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 2399 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 2400 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 2401 is enabled. 2402 2403- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 2404 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 2405 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2406 2407- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 2408 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 2409 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2410 2411- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 2412 Max number of Flash memory banks 2413 2414- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 2415 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 2416 2417- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 2418 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 2419 2420- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 2421 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 2422 2423- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 2424 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 2425 2426- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 2427 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 2428 2429- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 2430 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 2431 instead of U-Boot software protection. 2432 2433- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 2434 2435 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 2436 without this option such a download has to be 2437 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 2438 copy from RAM to flash. 2439 2440 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 2441 you can check if the download worked before you erase 2442 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 2443 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 2444 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 2445 2446- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 2447 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 2448 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 2449 2450- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 2451 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 2452 in the drivers directory 2453 2454- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 2455 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 2456 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 2457 to the MTD layer. 2458 2459- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 2460 Use buffered writes to flash. 2461 2462- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 2463 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 2464 write commands. 2465 2466- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 2467 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 2468 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 2469 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 2470 optionally available. 2471 2472- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 2473 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 2474 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 2475 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 2476 2477- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 2478 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 2479 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 2480 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 2481 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 2482 on high Ethernet traffic. 2483 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 2484 2485- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 2486 2487 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 2488 internally to store the environment settings. The default 2489 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 2490 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 2491 lib/hashtable.c for details. 2492 2493The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 2494of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 2495following configurations: 2496 2497- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 2498 2499 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 2500 2501 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 2502 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 2503 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 2504 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 2505 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 2506 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 2507 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 2508 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 2509 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 2510 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 2511 between U-Boot and the environment. 2512 2513 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2514 2515 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 2516 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 2517 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 2518 for this sector is given here. 2519 2520 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 2521 2522 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2523 2524 This is just another way to specify the start address of 2525 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 2526 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 2527 2528 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 2529 2530 Size of the sector containing the environment. 2531 2532 2533 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 2534 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 2535 the environment. 2536 2537 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2538 2539 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 2540 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 2541 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 2542 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 2543 2544 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 2545 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 2546 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 2547 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 2548 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 2549 updating the environment in flash makes it always 2550 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 2551 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 2552 RAM, your target system will be dead. 2553 2554 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 2555 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 2556 2557 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 2558 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 2559 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 2560 a "saveenv" operation. 2561 2562BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 2563source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 2564accordingly! 2565 2566 2567- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 2568 2569 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 2570 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 2571 environment. 2572 2573 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2574 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2575 2576 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 2577 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 2578 can just be read and written to, without any special 2579 provision. 2580 2581BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 2582in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 2583console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 2584U-Boot will hang. 2585 2586Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 2587environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 2588keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 2589to save the current settings. 2590 2591 2592- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 2593 2594 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 2595 device and a driver for it. 2596 2597 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2598 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2599 2600 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 2601 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 2602 2603 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 2604 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 2605 The default address is zero. 2606 2607 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 2608 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 2609 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 2610 would require six bits. 2611 2612 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 2613 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 2614 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 2615 2616 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 2617 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 2618 that this is NOT the chip address length! 2619 2620 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 2621 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 2622 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 2623 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 2624 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 2625 byte chips. 2626 2627 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 2628 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 2629 in the chip address. 2630 2631 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 2632 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 2633 2634 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 2635 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 2636 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 2637 2638 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 2639 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 2640 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 2641 EEPROM. For example: 2642 2643 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 2644 2645 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 2646 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 2647 2648- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 2649 2650 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 2651 want to use for the environment. 2652 2653 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2654 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2655 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2656 2657 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 2658 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 2659 at the specified address. 2660 2661- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 2662 2663 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 2664 for the environment. 2665 2666 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2667 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2668 2669 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 2670 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 2671 aligned to an erase block boundary. 2672 2673 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 2674 2675 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 2676 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 2677 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 2678 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 2679 aligned to an erase block boundary. 2680 2681 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 2682 2683 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 2684 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 2685 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 2686 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 2687 the range to be avoided. 2688 2689 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 2690 2691 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 2692 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 2693 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 2694 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 2695 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 2696 2697- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 2698 2699 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 2700 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 2701 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 2702 2703- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 2704 2705 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 2706 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 2707 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 2708 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 2709 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 2710 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 2711 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 2712 2713Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 2714has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 2715created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 2716until then to read environment variables. 2717 2718The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 2719is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 2720with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 2721necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 2722"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 2723have any device yet where we could complain.] 2724 2725Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 2726the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 2727use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 2728 2729- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 2730 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 2731 2732 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 2733 also needs to be defined. 2734 2735- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 2736 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 2737 2738- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 2739 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 2740 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 2741 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 2742 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 2743 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 2744 2745Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 2746--------------------------------------------------- 2747 2748- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 2749 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 2750 2751- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 2752 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 2753 2754 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 2755 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 2756 the IMMR register after a reset. 2757 2758- Floppy Disk Support: 2759 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 2760 2761 the default drive number (default value 0) 2762 2763 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 2764 2765 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 2766 (default value 1) 2767 2768 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 2769 2770 defines the offset of register from address. It 2771 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 2772 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 2773 2774 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 2775 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 2776 default value. 2777 2778 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 2779 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 2780 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 2781 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 2782 initializations. 2783 2784- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 2785 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 2786 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 2787 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 2788 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 2789 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 2790 is requierd. 2791 2792- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 2793 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 2794 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 2795 2796- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 2797 2798 Start address of memory area that can be used for 2799 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 2800 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 2801 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 2802 will become available only after programming the 2803 memory controller and running certain initialization 2804 sequences. 2805 2806 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 2807 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 2808 - MPC824X: data cache 2809 - PPC4xx: data cache 2810 2811- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 2812 2813 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 2814 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 2815 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 2816 data is located at the end of the available space 2817 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 2818 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 2819 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 2820 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 2821 2822 Note: 2823 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 2824 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 2825 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 2826 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 2827 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 2828 2829- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 2830 2831- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 2832 2833- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 2834 2835- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 2836 2837- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 2838 2839- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 2840 2841- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 2842 SDRAM timing 2843 2844- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 2845 periodic timer for refresh 2846 2847- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 2848 2849- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 2850 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 2851 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 2852 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 2853 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 2854 2855- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 2856 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 2857 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 2858 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 2859 2860- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 2861 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 2862 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 2863 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 2864 2865- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 2866 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 2867 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 2868 2869- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 2870 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 2871 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 2872 2873- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 2874 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 2875 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 2876 2877- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 2878 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board.

Common 2922 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 2923 2924 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 2925 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 2926 2927- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2928 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 2929 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 2930 to something your driver can deal with. 2931 2932- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 2933 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 2934 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 2935 2936- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 2937 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 2938 2939- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 2940 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 2941 to the given FEC; i. e. 2942 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 2943 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 2944 2945 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 2946 2947- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 2948 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 2949 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 2950 2951- CONFIG_RMII 2952 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 2953 Note that this is a global option, we can't 2954 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 2955 2956- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 2957 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 2958 The syntax is: 2959 2960 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 2961 2962 Where address/count indicate a memory area 2963 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 2964 area should have. 2965 2966- CONFIG_LOOPW 2967 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 2968 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 2969 2970- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 2971 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 2972 "md/mw" commands. 2973 Examples: 2974 2975 => mdc.b 10 4 500 2976 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 2977 2978 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 2979 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 2980 2981 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 2982 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 2983 2984- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 2985 [ARM only] If this variable is defined, then certain 2986 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 2987 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 2988 relocate itself into RAM. 2989 2990 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 2991 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 2992 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 2993 these initializations itself. 2994 2995- CONFIG_PRELOADER 2996 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 2997 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 2998 compiling a NAND SPL. 2999 3000- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 3001 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 3002 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 3003 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 3004 conditions but may increase the binary size. 3005 3006Building the Software: 3007====================== 3008 3009Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 3010and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 3011all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 3012(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 3013recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 3014which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 3015 3016If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 3017have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 3018you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 3019Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 3020necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 3021 3022 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 3023 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 3024 3025Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 3026 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 3027 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 3028 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 3029 3030 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 3031 3032 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 3033 be executed on computers running Windows. 3034 3035U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 3036sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 3037is done by typing: 3038 3039 make NAME_config 3040 3041where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 3042rations; see the main Makefile for supported names. 3043 3044Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 3045 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 3046 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 3047 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 3048 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 3049 3050 make TQM823L_config 3051 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 3052 3053 make TQM823L_LCD_config 3054 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 3055 3056 etc. 3057 3058 3059Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 3060images ready for download to / installation on your system: 3061 3062- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 3063- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 3064- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 3065 3066By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 3067in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 3068this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 3069 30701. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 3071 3072 make O=/tmp/build distclean 3073 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 3074 make O=/tmp/build all 3075 30762. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 3077 3078 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3079 make distclean 3080 make NAME_config 3081 make all 3082 3083Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 3084variable. 3085 3086 3087Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 3088for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 3089native "make". 3090 3091 3092If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 3093to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 3094steps: 3095 30961. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 3097 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing 3098 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places 3099 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please 3100 keep this order. 31012. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 3102 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 3103 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 31043. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 3105 your board 31063. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 3107 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 31084. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 31095. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 3110 to be installed on your target system. 31116. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 3112 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 3113 3114 3115Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 3116============================================================== 3117 3118If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 3119or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 3120provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 3121the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 3122official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 3123 3124But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 3125cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 3126the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 3127just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 3128for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 3129select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 3130environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 3131you can type 3132 3133 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3134 3135or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 3136 3137 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 3138 3139When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 3140U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 3141setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 3142built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 3143<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 3144location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 3145variable. For example: 3146 3147 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3148 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 3149 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3150 3151With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 3152log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 3153during the whole build process. 3154 3155 3156See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 3157 3158 3159Monitor Commands - Overview: 3160============================ 3161 3162go - start application at address 'addr' 3163run - run commands in an environment variable 3164bootm - boot application image from memory 3165bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 3166tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 3167 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 3168 (and eventually "gatewayip") 3169rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 3170diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 3171loads - load S-Record file over serial line 3172loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 3173md - memory display 3174mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 3175nm - memory modify (constant address) 3176mw - memory write (fill) 3177cp - memory copy 3178cmp - memory compare 3179crc32 - checksum calculation 3180i2c - I2C sub-system 3181sspi - SPI utility commands 3182base - print or set address offset 3183printenv- print environment variables 3184setenv - set environment variables 3185saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 3186protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 3187erase - erase FLASH memory 3188flinfo - print FLASH memory information 3189bdinfo - print Board Info structure 3190iminfo - print header information for application image 3191coninfo - print console devices and informations 3192ide - IDE sub-system 3193loop - infinite loop on address range 3194loopw - infinite write loop on address range 3195mtest - simple RAM test 3196icache - enable or disable instruction cache 3197dcache - enable or disable data cache 3198reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 3199echo - echo args to console 3200version - print monitor version 3201help - print online help 3202? - alias for 'help' 3203 3204 3205Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 3206======================================== 3207 3208TODO. 3209 3210For now: just type "help <command>". 3211 3212 3213Environment Variables: 3214====================== 3215 3216U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 3217can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 3218 3219Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 3220"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 3221without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 3222environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 3223working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 3224environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 3225 3226Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 3227 3228List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 3229 3230 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 3231 3232 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 3233 3234 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 3235 3236 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 3237 3238 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 3239 3240 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3241 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3242 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 3243 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 3244 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 3245 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 3246 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 3247 bootm_mapsize. 3248 3249 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 3250 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 3251 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 3252 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 3253 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 3254 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 3255 used otherwise. 3256 3257 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3258 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3259 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 3260 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 3261 environment variable. 3262 3263 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 3264 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 3265 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 3266 3267 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 3268 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 3269 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 3270 load any image using TFTP 3271 3272 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 3273 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 3274 be automatically started (by internally calling 3275 "bootm") 3276 3277 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 3278 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 3279 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 3280 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 3281 data. 3282 3283 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 3284 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 3285 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 3286 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 3287 it must be saved and board must be reset. 3288 3289 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 3290 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 3291 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 3292 is usually what you want since it allows for 3293 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 3294 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 3295 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 3296 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 3297 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 3298 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 3299 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 3300 3301 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 3302 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 3303 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 3304 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 3305 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 3306 12 MB as well - this can be done with 3307 3308 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 3309 3310 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 3311 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 3312 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 3313 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 3314 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 3315 boot time on your system, but requires that this 3316 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 3317 3318 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3319 3320 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 3321 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 3322 3323 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 3324 3325 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3326 3327 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 3328 3329 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 3330 3331 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 3332 3333 ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which 3334 interface is used first. 3335 3336 ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which 3337 interface is currently active. For example you 3338 can do the following 3339 3340 => setenv ethact FEC 3341 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 3342 => setenv ethact SCC 3343 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 3344 3345 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 3346 available network interfaces. 3347 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 3348 3349 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 3350 either succeed or fail without retrying. 3351 When set to "once" the network operation will 3352 fail when all the available network interfaces 3353 are tried once without success. 3354 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 3355 themselves. 3356 3357 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 3358 3359 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 3360 UDP source port. 3361 3362 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 3363 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 3364 3365 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 3366 we use the TFTP server's default block size 3367 3368 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 3369 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 3370 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 3371 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 3372 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 3373 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 3374 with unreliable TFTP servers. 3375 3376 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 3377 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 3378 VLAN tagged frames. 3379 3380The following environment variables may be used and automatically 3381updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 3382depending the information provided by your boot server: 3383 3384 bootfile - see above 3385 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 3386 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 3387 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 3388 hostname - Target hostname 3389 ipaddr - see above 3390 netmask - Subnet Mask 3391 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 3392 serverip - see above 3393 3394 3395There are two special Environment Variables: 3396 3397 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 3398 as type string and/or serial number 3399 ethaddr - Ethernet address 3400 3401These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 3402the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 3403once they have been set once. 3404 3405 3406Further special Environment Variables: 3407 3408 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 3409 with the "version" command. This variable is 3410 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 3411 3412 3413Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 3414only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 3415 3416 3417Command Line Parsing: 3418===================== 3419 3420There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 3421the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 3422 3423Old, simple command line parser: 3424-------------------------------- 3425 3426- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 3427- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 3428- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 3429- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 3430 for example: 3431 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 3432- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 3433 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 3434 3435Hush shell: 3436----------- 3437 3438- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 3439 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 3440 until...do...done, ... 3441- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 3442 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 3443 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 3444 command 3445 3446General rules: 3447-------------- 3448 3449(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 3450 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 3451 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 3452 executed anyway. 3453 3454(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 3455 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 3456 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 3457 variables are not executed. 3458 3459Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 3460======================================= 3461 3462Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 3463such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 3464"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 3465 3466Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 3467MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 3468"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 3469 3470If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 3471in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 3472ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 3473variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 3474 3475o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 3476 environment, the SROM's address is used. 3477 3478o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 3479 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 3480 used. 3481 3482o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 3483 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 3484 3485o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 3486 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 3487 warning is printed. 3488 3489o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 3490 is raised. 3491 3492If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 3493will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 3494may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 3495The naming convention is as follows: 3496"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 3497 3498Image Formats: 3499============== 3500 3501U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 3502images in two formats: 3503 3504New uImage format (FIT) 3505----------------------- 3506 3507Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 3508to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 3509components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 3510SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 3511 3512 3513Old uImage format 3514----------------- 3515 3516Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 3517preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 3518details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 3519 3520* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 3521 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 3522 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 3523 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 3524 INTEGRITY). 3525* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 3526 IA64, MIPS, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 3527 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, Nios II, PowerPC). 3528* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 3529* Load Address 3530* Entry Point 3531* Image Name 3532* Image Timestamp 3533 3534The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 3535and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 3536CRC32 checksums. 3537 3538 3539Linux Support: 3540============== 3541 3542Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 3543easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 3544U-Boot. 3545 3546U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 3547special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 3548"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 3549instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 3550serves several purposes: 3551 3552- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 3553 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 3554 Flash memory footprint) 3555 3556- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 3557 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 3558 3559- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 3560 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 3561 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 3562 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 3563 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 3564 software is easier now. 3565 3566 3567Linux HOWTO: 3568============ 3569 3570Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 3571--------------------------------------- 3572 3573U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 3574configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 3575(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 3576Linux :-). 3577 3578But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 3579 3580Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 3581include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 3582Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 3583and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 3584as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 3585 3586 3587Configuring the Linux kernel: 3588----------------------------- 3589 3590No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 3591device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 3592 3593 3594Building a Linux Image: 3595----------------------- 3596 3597With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 3598not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 3599"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 3600U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 3601which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 3602100% compatible format. 3603 3604Example: 3605 3606 make TQM850L_config 3607 make oldconfig 3608 make dep 3609 make uImage 3610 3611The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 3612encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 3613CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 3614 3615* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 3616 3617* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 3618 3619 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 3620 -R .note -R .comment \ 3621 -S vmlinux linux.bin 3622 3623* compress the binary image: 3624 3625 gzip -9 linux.bin 3626 3627* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 3628 3629 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 3630 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 3631 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 3632 3633 3634The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 3635with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 3636combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 3637byte header containing information about target architecture, 3638operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 3639stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 3640 3641"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 3642print the header information, or to build new images. 3643 3644In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 3645contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 3646checksum verification: 3647 3648 tools/mkimage -l image 3649 -l ==> list image header information 3650 3651The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 3652from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 3653 3654 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 3655 -n name -d data_file image 3656 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 3657 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 3658 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 3659 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 3660 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 3661 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 3662 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 3663 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 3664 3665Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 3666address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 3667kernel version: 3668 3669- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 3670- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 3671 3672So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 3673 3674 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 3675 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 3676 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 3677 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 3678 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 3679 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 3680 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 3681 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 3682 Load Address: 0x00000000 3683 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3684 3685To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 3686 3687 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 3688 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 3689 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 3690 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 3691 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 3692 Load Address: 0x00000000 3693 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3694 3695NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 3696speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 3697needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 3698need to be uncompressed: 3699 3700 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 3701 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 3702 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 3703 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 3704 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 3705 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 3706 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 3707 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 3708 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 3709 Load Address: 0x00000000 3710 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3711 3712 3713Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 3714when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 3715 3716 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 3717 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 3718 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 3719 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 3720 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 3721 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 3722 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 3723 Load Address: 0x00000000 3724 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3725 3726 3727Installing a Linux Image: 3728------------------------- 3729 3730To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 3731you must convert the image to S-Record format: 3732 3733 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 3734 3735The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 3736image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 3737address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 3918 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 3919 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 3920 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 3921 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 3922 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 3923 being started. 3924 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 3925 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 3926 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 3927 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 3928 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 3929 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 3930 3931 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 3932 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 3933 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 3934 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 3935 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 3936 a multiple of 4 bytes). 3937 3938 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 3939 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 3940 flash memory. 3941 3942 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 3943 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 3944 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 3945 as command interpreter. 3946 3947 3948Standalone HOWTO: 3949================= 3950 3951One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 3952run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 3953U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 3954 3955Two simple examples are included with the sources: 3956 3957"Hello World" Demo: 3958------------------- 3959 3960'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 3961application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 3962It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 3963like that: 3964 3965 => loads 3966 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 3967 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 3968 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 3969 [file transfer complete] 3970 [connected] 3971 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 3972 3973 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 3994controlled by the following keys: 3995 3996 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 3997 b - enable interrupts and start timer 3998 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 3999 q - quit application 4000 4001 => loads 4002 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4003 ~>examples/timer.srec 4004 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4005 [file transfer complete] 4006 [connected] 4007 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4008 4009 => go 40004 4010 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 4011 TIMERS=0xfff00980 4012 Using timer 1 4013 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 4014 4015Hit 'b': 4016 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 4017 Enabling timer 4018Hit '?': 4019 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 4020 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 4021Hit '?': 4022 [q, b, e, ?] . 4023 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 4024Hit '?': 4025 [q, b, e, ?] . 4026 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 4027Hit '?': 4028 [q, b, e, ?] . 4029 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 4030Hit 'e': 4031 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 4032Hit 'q': 4033 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 4034 4035 4036Minicom warning: 4037================ 4038 4039Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 4040"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 4041consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 4042Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 4043especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 4044use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). 4045 4046Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 4047configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 4048 4049 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 4066 4067 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 4068 # mkdir powerpc 4069 # ln -s powerpc machine 4070 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 4071 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 4072 4073Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 4074and U-Boot include files. 4075 4076Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 4077stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 4078proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 4079tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 4080meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 4081 4082 4083Implementation Internals: 4084========================= 4085 4086The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 4087implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 4088inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 4089hardware. 4090 4091 4092Initial Stack, Global Data: 4093--------------------------- 4094 4095The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 4096starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 4097system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 4098This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 4099is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 4100at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 4101options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 4102models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 4103MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 4104locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 4105 4106 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 4107 U-Boot mailing list: 4108 4109 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 4110 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 4111 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 4112 ... 4113 4114 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 4115 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 4116 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 4117 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 4118 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 4119 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 4120 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 4121 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 4122 4123 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 4124 is another option for the system designer to use as an 4125 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 4126 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 4127 board designers haven't used it for something that would 4128 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 4129 used. 4130 4131 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 4132 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 4133 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 4134 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 4135 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 4136 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 4137 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 4138 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 4139 you get the config right. 4140 4141 -Chris Hallinan 4142 DS4.COM, Inc. 4143 4144It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 4145code for the initialization procedures: 4146 4147* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 4148 to write it. 4149 4150* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 4151 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 4152 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 4153 4154* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 4155 that. 4156 4157Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 4158normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 4159turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 4160simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 4161functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 4162functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 4163the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 4164place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 4165reserve for this purpose. 4166 4167When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 4168relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 4169GCC's implementation. 4170 4171For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 4172 R1: stack pointer 4173 R2: reserved for system use 4174 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 4175 R5-R10: parameter passing 4176 R13: small data area pointer 4177 R30: GOT pointer 4178 R31: frame pointer 4179 4180 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 4181 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 4182 going back and forth between asm and C) 4183 4184 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 4185 4186 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 4187 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 4188 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 4189 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 4190 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 4191 624 text + 127 data). 4192 4193On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 4194 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 4195 4196 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 4197 4198On ARM, the following registers are used: 4199 4200 R0: function argument word/integer result 4201 R1-R3: function argument word 4202 R9: GOT pointer 4203 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 4204 R11: argument (frame) pointer 4205 R12: temporary workspace 4206 R13: stack pointer 4207 R14: link register 4208 R15: program counter 4209 4210 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 4211 4212On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 4213 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 4214 4215 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 4216 4217 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 4218 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 4219 4220NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 4221or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 4222 4223Memory Management: 4224------------------ 4225 4226U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 4227MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 4228 4229The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 4230controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 4231memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 4232physical memory banks. 4233 4234U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 4235TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 4236booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 4237to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 4238memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 4239configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 4240Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 4241 4242Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 4243of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 4244 4245So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 4246this: 4247 4248 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 4249 : 4250 0x0000 1FFF 4251 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 4252 : 4253 : 4254 4255 : 4256 : 4257 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 4258 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 4259 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 4260 : 4261 0x00FD FFFF 4262 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 4263 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 4264 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 4265 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 4266 4267 4268System Initialization: 4269---------------------- 4270 4271In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 4272(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 4273configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 4274To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 4275To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 4276initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 4277which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 4278part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 4279the caches and the SIU. 4280 4281Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 4282preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 4283(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 4284on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 4285programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 4286simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 4287banks. 4288 4289When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 4290different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 4291bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 42920x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 4293contiguous memory starting from 0. 4294 4295Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 4296and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 4297Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 4298pages, and the final stack is set up. 4299 4300Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 4301until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 4302running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 4303new address in RAM. 4304 4305 4306U-Boot Porting Guide: 4307---------------------- 4308 4309[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 4310list, October 2002] 4311 4312 4313int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 4314{ 4315 sighandler_t no_more_time; 4316 4317 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 4318 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 4319 4320 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 4321 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 4322 return 0; 4323 } 4324 4325 Download latest U-Boot source; 4326 4327 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 4328 4329 if (clueless) 4330 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 4331 4332 while (learning) { 4333 Read the README file in the top level directory; 4334 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 4335 Read applicable doc/*.README; 4336 Read the source, Luke; 4337 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 4338 } 4339 4340 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 4341 Buy a BDI3000; 4342 else 4343 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 4344 4345 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 4346 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 4347 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 4348 } else { 4349 Create your own board support subdirectory; 4350 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 4351 } 4352 Edit new board/<myboard> files 4353 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 4354 4355 while (!accepted) { 4356 while (!running) { 4357 do { 4358 Add / modify source code; 4359 } until (compiles); 4360 Debug; 4361 if (clueless) 4362 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 4363 } 4364 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 4365 if (reasonable critiques) 4366 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 4367 else 4368 Defend code as written; 4369 } 4370 4371 return 0; 4372} 4373 4374void no_more_time (int sig) 4375{ 4376 hire_a_guru(); 4377} 4378 4379 4380Coding Standards: 4381----------------- 4382 4383All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 4384coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 4385"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources 4386originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding 4387spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used. 4388 4389Source files originating from a different project (for example the 4390MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 4391reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 4392sources. 4393 4394Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 4395Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 4396in your code. 4397 4398Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 4399- remove any trailing white space 4400- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces 4401- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 4402- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files 4403- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 4404 4405Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 4406with a request to reformat the changes. 4407 4408 4409Submitting Patches: 4410------------------- 4411 4412Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 4413establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 4414may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 4415 4416Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 4417 4418Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 4419see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 4420 4421When you send a patch, please include the following information with 4422it: 4423 4424* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 4425 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 4426 patch actually fixes something. 4427 4428* For new features: a description of the feature and your 4429 implementation. 4430 4431* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 4432 4433* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 4434 4435* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 4436 board to the MAKEALL script, too. 4437 4438* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 4439 document these in the README file. 4440 4441* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 4442 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 4443 "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to 4444 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 4445 with some other mail clients. 4446 4447 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 4448 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 4449 GNU diff. 4450 4451 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 4452 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 4453 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 4454 affected files). 4455 4456 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 4457 and compressed attachments must not be used. 4458 4459* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 4460 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 4461 4462* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 4463 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 4464 4465 4466Notes: 4467 4468* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 4469 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 4470 for any of the boards. 4471 4472* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 4473 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 4474 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 4475 4476* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 4477 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 4478 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 4479 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 4480 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 4481 modification. 4482 4483* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 4484 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 4485 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 4486 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 4487
